Sadly I wanted to give this book 1.5 stars. I was the Deadpool story that actually rounded it up to 2 stars for me. Let's face it the only person who can match the madness and confusing mess that is the Venom War, is Wade Daedpool Wilson.
Wolverine gets bitten by a Zombiote. Like any infection, his healing factor deals with it but brings Logan to a place and family from his past. Though he tried to save these people in the past, has too much damage been done?
If you are Deadpool and fighting several Zombiotes, with a couple of Symbiotes of your own why not add more monsters to the party? Deadpool logic. Lots of violence.
Carnage is investigating Project K. Why? Carnage and Cletus Kasady do not seem to be on the same page. I have no idea what the point of this story was.
I would recommend avoiding the Venom War books so far, but this book adds nothing to the main story. Just more confusion and a con to sell more books.

It was kind of meh to me. I did like the carnage portion of it. Wolverine's storyline doesn't contribute to the overall story. It's just kind of trying to be sad. Deadpool's storyline is too over the top for me. Carnage added to the main story and had a developing story and I liked that more than everything else.

I only read the Wolverine story. I have completely ignored any Venom War Titles, but the creative team on this book sold me. A nice little Wolverine story that has something to say about the character, and just happens to include some crossover nonsense.

I am sort of confused about this volume overall as there are some stories that are really solid, some meh and the other one with Carnage really bad.
The first one about Deadpool was fine and it involves him taming up with Princess and Andi now going by Silence and fighting against zombiotes, going to Monster Metropolis and involving them somehow to fight against these things and its the return of Jimmy Hudson aka Poison from those Venom events Bunn did, but its kinda confusing how it works against the zombiotes but oh well a lot of killing and good moments of humans acknowledging the monsters saving them and the twist with why Deadpool is here and took the job, the return of TVA and Agent Mobius and that was a cool connection to the recent MCU stuff! So yeah an average good read.
Then the Wolverine story was so good as he is in a bar and gets attacked by the symbiote and whatever is going on there and he returns to the house of Emily and her son Flynn and their past story with him and how he saved them from their dad aka Keene and his story, and it tries to talk about abuse and all, and well him controlling the zombiotes somehow and how Logan saves the family and then the last issue with Flynn as he is taken over by the zombiotes and the horror stuff there but it does well to show Logan teaching this kid and saving the family and it felt like a cool short story set in a town area, away from NYC where most of these invasion events stories take place and the art felt very indie-ish and thats cool. Probably the best story in the book.
The last story of Carnage was confusing lol like what is it even trying to do, showing K-weapons that the LFS have developed and how they're so deadly so that was cool and then its the return of Meridius also and idk how it ties to the main event and felt confusing.. maybe its a prelude to it.. but anyways it has gory moments that you will expect from a carnage book and its kind of poor aside from those scenes and the art. Not a fan of that story.
So, overall a mix of all the above and you can read it as a side-adventure of different characters set during the main event of VENOM WAR if you're reading it!

Collecting the three issue Wolverine, Deadpool, and Carnage Venom War tie-in mini-series, apparently.
Wolverine's a decent story, seeing Wolvie return to an old stomping ground to check on a kid he saved in the past, only for his father to get embroiled with the Zombiotes that've been unleashed. The story's decent, but it's enhanced by Kev Walker's super visceral artwork. Gross, and entertaining.
The Deadpool book is very clearly a Cullen Bunn story, because he manages to find a way to bring Andi Benton back (he's written her on and off since his run on Venom years ago), and throws Deadpool and his symbiote dog Princess (best girl) into the war on the side of the Monster Underground. Another one where the art from Salva Espin really elevates things, for sure.
And then there's the Carnage series, which is mostly just another three issues from Torun Gronbekk and Pere Perez after their solo Carnage series ended. This one's a decent tie-in on its own and actually quite important to the overall arc of Venom War given how vital the Necrospear becomes later on. I liked the series they worked on, so this was just more of the same.
Solid collection of tie-ins. Good start.

Deadpool - 3.5 stars - liked inclusion of Marvel monsters
Wolverine - 4 stars - best Venom war stories have been outside the NYC stuff

The Carnage tie-in is really good, the Wolverine and Deadpool ones are awful.

Deadpool story was trash. Ultimate Wolverine's kid is a waste of a character. A mess. The Wolverine story at least had heart.

A bad combination for bystanders. Princess Deadpool. Nasty Carnage.

Fine with a few high and low moments. The event tie-in story is a hard story to write.
