Rrrrrrubbish! The story isn’t at all interesting, Eddie/Venom remain the dullest of protagonists, staggering along without a purpose to explain why they have their own series, and Miles Morales cameos for no other reason than to remind us that Venom was originally a Spider-Man villain. Ah, Eminem - remember when he was cool? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out his song for the Venom movie. I know, jesus, every fucking Venom story is the Symbiote tussling with its host, whether it’s Eddie Brock, Flash Thompson, yo’ momma’s fat ass whoever! Venom turns to a Vietnam vet called Rex for help and the secret history of the Symbiotes is revealed as a new big bad appears to fight Denim. Ok, so the gist is that Flash Thompson is dead and the symbiote has bonded with Eddie Brock again.Įddie is trying to be a good guy but Venom is exhibiting some strange symptoms, and Brock is occasionally losing control when his Other takes over.Įddie Brock’s having some trouble with the Symbiote again. Nothing grievous and I'll get over it without therapy, but if you're looking to do things correctly, I would suggest that you start here and work your way to that after you're done. Now, I read Absolute Carnage 1st, which was a mistake. I have a subscription to Marvel Unlimited so I blew threw this volume in one sitting and pretty much started on the next one immediately if that tells you anything. It might not be for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. Not a character whose titles I've sought out in the past, but after reading Absolute Carnage I really wanted to know more about what was happening with this character and his section of the Marvel universe.
