THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! Venom has a brand-new red-and-blue suit - and a brand new name to go with it! How will the people of New York react when they find out that the city's newest Spider-Man is the SYMBIOTE they love to loathe? Luke Cage and Otto Octavius are ready to debate the matter - with their fists! A bonus tale of the origin of an even All-NEWER Venom! AND a celebratory flashback story by the team behind the classic AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #252!
Fantastic! The main story is pretty good, but I’ve seen Doc Ock get defeated like 4 times since he got his new octolings a little while ago and I’m getting a little tired of it. This fight was such a mess also, kind of too many characters I think. But the alternate universe story drawn by Jesus Saiz was so fucking good! I would really love to see more of that, Jesus Saiz’s art is so damn good. And the story from yesteryear about the symbiote costume piloting Peter’s sleeping body was great too. Very good issue, and it’s especially cool that this is Venom 252, and Venom first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man in issue 252. Crazy stuff!
The main story moves along nicely and I am liking the direction it is going. The side stories were enjoyable as well and varied. The first side story had some really great artwork.
