    But Why Tho? - Aaron Phillips

    Feb 03, 2021

    WhileThe King in Black series has definitely been a brilliant highlight to this climactic event, you can not miss this recent run of Venom as it's clear the two are going to come crashing together very soon. Cates's fresh thinking and frenzied ideas have reminded us why we love Venom and elevated him to an elite Marvel status. Read Full Review

    Not only is this issue essential reading to Venom fans, and the King in Black event, this series is important to Marvel fans in general. The symbiote mythology continues to expand and as Cates’ time on the series draws close to an end it’s clear he’s giving his all to Venom. Stunning art and revelations about throughout the issue, fans won’t be disappointed. Read Full Review

    Venom #33 takes an interesting step forward when it comes to Symbiote legacy. Cates is adding more richness to the way these aliens work while plodding forward with Eddie's personal journey in finding resolution as a man who can't see how he's a hero. This issue suffers from excessive exposition and speeches, but makes up for it well enough with some mind-bending ideas. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - wolfcypher

    Feb 04, 2021

    Iban's art combined with all the screen time Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson share together are the highlights of this chapter in the King in Black saga. This issue co-exists perfectly with the happenings take have unfolded over in the main King in Black book, giving this issue a lot of merit as an essential tie-in. However, expect quite a bit of inaction from our main heroes for most of the book before they finally take the fight to Knull. Read Full Review

    Each number of this arc and King in Black plays with the emotions of the reader, the beginning we gave the battle for loss, slowly in each number it gives us hope and then demolishes them and leaves us in insecurity. The Dragon please, it was just great.

    Another excellent tie-in issue. And no wonder since Cates is writing these as well. Coello's great art doesn't hurt either.

    I really liked this Venom Run and this issue is bitter sweet seeing Eddies journey coming to an end. These tie ins work great when read side by side with the main issues.

    Dylan's real-world fight in KiB #3 has an impact on the Hive Eddie's stuck in. He and Flash take advantage, fighting their way toward freedom -- but Knull isn't letting Eddie go just yet. This comic lives on a string of awesome moments, points where the writer or the artist go above and beyond to make you say "coool." Those moments work very well, and there's more than enough awesome to make up for a plot that doesn't quite stand up to close scrutiny.

    The build-up truly culminated in a suicide run for the century that Flash Thompson made that could almost make me forgive him for beating up Peter Parker in the '60s. Even Eddie got to redeem himself here, and the whole concept of these hosts battling their way back from symbiote hell - it's just that classic Jesus-arc the Christendom really loves to rehash over and over with a saviour rising from below to sit on high. But the snag Eddie hits at the end , hahaha , that's the type of madness that will have me returning to read Cates' next installment. - audiomack.com/cvrthebard

    With so much Flash Thompson action there's no way this can be bad. Really enjoyed this one, finally the plot is moving forward much faster than before.

    Very good issue. The moment between Peter and Dylan was pretty good and the interaction between Brock and Flash was good. Some of the plot stuff could have been more well written though.
