Sep 26, 2018A great ending, or rather many smaller endings, to the story and to a few dangling plot threads in the Venom storyline. This series may have felt like a bit of a cash grab, but based on this ending it's safe to say it added something to Venom's journey and even made him more interesting while doing it.

Word Of The Nerd - Edgar O'Neill-Figueroa
Oct 01, 2018Venom First Host #5 is a fitting end to the series. Personally, I would have enjoyed a fully functional Tel-Kar running around the universe. But if the last five issues have shown anything it is that Costa knows these characters and knows where they should end up. It is sad to say goodbye to a series but at least it was a fun read.

This was pretty good storyline. Not nearly as good as Cates' but it doesn't pretent to be one.. At first I was very skeptical but was surprised by the writing. Bagley has amazing artwork as usual.

This mini series was way better than it probably could have been. I wasnt blown away by it but it did entertain me and I enjoyed the new symbiote. I really can't complain.
