Superior Spider-Talk - Jaleh Najafali
Oct 07, 2017Cullen Bunn, Iban Coello, and Matt Yackey are a strong, confident team that clearly knows where they want to take this "Venomverse" event. Issue #4 juggles many subplots with just enough splashes of action to keep the story dynamic. Read Full Review

IGN - Jesse Schedeen
Sep 27, 2017Venomverse is a stronger book now that it was in its first couple chapters, and a lot of that comes down to the addition of Carnage. As annoying as this villain can be in other Spider-Man stories, here he offers a welcome dose of fun and unpredictability to an otherwise stale conflict.That, combined with the vibrant artwork, makes for a much more readable crossover adventure. Still, the series hasn't done enough to build up the excitement level leading into the final issue. Read Full Review

Sep 28, 2017This isn't a bad story, nor it is a particularly great one, but at minimum, this is a proving ground that shows that Coello is ready for bigger projects. Read Full Review

The Venoms launch a satisfying fight scene, then the comic gets overrun by endless exposition. Countless superficial riffs on the Poison premise prove far less satisfying than one deep insight would be, and with some stiff posing and a complete absence of human faces, Iban Coello's visuals start looking more like snapshots of action figures than drawings of living heroes and villains. It's a dense and wordy episode, but the lack of insight makes it interminable rather than enthralling. Mania's role solidifies into "one cute/funny Seinfeldian interaction per issue" (ugh), and Poison Gwenpool is utterly wasted playing the role of Literally Any Poisoned Hero.
