Rating: - Bad art and weird story line
In the ultimate spiderman graphic novels venom stars in a three volume series (volume 7, 11, and 21). There are a lot of negative things about this book. First of all the art. A lot of the characters in this book look realy distorted and Peter Parker looks nothing like how he should look like. Second is the story line. In this versian of Venom's origin Eddie Brock was a long lost friend of Peter parker. The black suit was actually something their Fathers created as a cure for cancer. I like Venom's ... Read More

Rating: - Good Going on Great
Here's a good introduction to Eddie Brock with a strong continuation of the series. Peter Parker gets a whole new set of obstacles to conquer. This volume carries on the great pace and leads me right up to demanding the next installment.

Here's what I like:
Venom's Origin was well done.
Spider-man's character gets a little more complex
The story of Peter's father and Eddie's Father is very interesting.
Nick Fury's appearance is a strong-point in the comic.

Rating: - Venom and New Suit
Origin of Venom and new black Spidey suit. Looks cool in new suit but doesn't really last for too long. Nick Fury gives Spidey some encouragement to being a superhero.

I began reading at the 6th volume here and I think this modern day reinterpretation of Venom is brilliant. Venom has always been one of Spider-man's most intriguing and polarizing villians and he's no different in this ... Read More

Rating: - A reborn Venom vs rebooted Spidey
I specifically bought this volume, as I have always liked reading the conflict between Venom and Spidey. The origins of Venom are different in this reboot series, but make more sense. Esessentially, Peter Parker and Eddie Brock start out as friends and the goo that attaches itself to Peter and then Eddie was actually created by their fathers as a cure for cancer. It is a really good twist, I think, rather than the outer space plot used in the original Spiderman. Venom is evil as always and his battle ... Read More
