Venom, Vol. 3

Venom (2018) #5-6

by Donny Cates (Writer), Iban Coello (Cover Art), Ryan Stegman (Illustrator)

When a dangerous armored foe named Virus erupts into Venom’s life, he threatens to rip away everything Eddie Brock holds dear. His son, his symbiote — even himself! But as their battle spirals out of control, Venom suddenly finds himself somewhere beyond! In a wildly different and highly dangerous world, new allies, familiar faces and shocking enemies await! Eddie must somehow find a way home — but untold horrors await him there. Knull, the terrifying King in Black, has arrived to plunge the Earth into darkness with his army of symbiote dragons — and Venom will be the first to fall! After three years of all-out action and suspense, Donny Cates brings his symbiote saga to a staggering close…and nothing will ever be the same for the Lethal Protector!

I guess I should read King In Black because even with the synopsis provided for the event, I was a little confused at times.

This is a mixed bag of a final stretch of issues, but it serves it's purpose. Venom Beyond is somewhat filler considering what comes later, but it's a turn off your brain alt reality. The KiB tie ins are half filler, half fan service, but it's fan service I can get behind, even if it doesn't really pump up the main event too much. The final issue leaves Eddie and Dylan in a interesting new status quo, and I look forward to where they go in the Ewing & V written series. Barely squeezes four stars, it does based on a story beat, otherwise it's just average

J’ai vraiment bien aimé ! Je suis malheureusement au tome 3 donc il va me falloir retrouver et lire les tomes précédents

J’ai beaucoup aimé le fait qu’il n’y ait pas énormément de personnages, surtout de super-héros
Le setting est incroyable mais je n’ai pas le context parce que j’arrive au millieu de la saga

Je reviendrai peut-être sur cette review

A Gripping Story from Cates and Co.

I absolutely loved this book/series. This is Venom done right and Knull makes for a very frightening villain, One that Venom and his friends will have to go to the Nth degree to combat! Superb art style and every detail in this book just oozes excellence. A must own for Spidey fans and a wonderful addition to the Venom lore.

This was not the end I had expected for Eddie after all he went through. I had hoped for me closure after the events of King In Black. However I do love the set up for Dylan as the next Venom host, as well as the return of Flash Thompson. Would definitely recommend to anyone who had ever loved the Character of Eddie Brock and Venom.

The best Venom run EVER!

I love so much how Donny Cates show us the real character of Venom, the one that I wanted as a fan and the one that he deserves!

I read every issue around Cate's Venom, from issue one, to Absolute Carnage and to King in Black!

Just in love!
