POISON X PART 2
• SYMBIOTE SPACE PIRATES!
• THE X-MEN and VENOM have been asking the wrong questions in the wrong seedy spaceport cantina!
• Vicious SPACE PIRATES are bad enough...but they're even worse when they're using ALIEN SYMBIOTES as weapons!
Rated T+
The addition of Venom not only makes this issue more entertaining but also makes it more serious. The X-Kids are growing up, and they're having to face bigger challenges -- whether they want to or not. This issue is a standout because it highlights that realistic change into adulthood.

Forget the symbiotes--at its core, this is a solid story about the X-Men coming together to support Cyclops in his time of need. Read Full Review

The idea of pairing up the X-Men and Venom is still fun since its so unusual, the story Bunn is telling is still resting on solid legs especially given the interesting final page turn, but this issue stumbles a bit in its execution. Read Full Review
If the teenage X-Men can't even make Cyclops' search for his father compelling, then maybe it's far past time that they went home to their proper place in time and stayed there. Read Full Review
X-Men Blue #21 could have been a decent comic if the script and art were given another pass through. As it is, its solidly out of reach of being a good comic. If you must follow this Venom crossover, it is recommendable if you want to keep up. The same can be said for X-Men completionists. Outside of that, Id give this one a pass. Read Full Review
I like this series and have done from the start(Gold, however, has disappointed me), nice to see a space adventure (although I don't really like Venom) I hear a shake-up is due for the team so hopefully, this ends with a bit of excitement.
fine read,intresting ending
There have been a number of crossovers where teams have encountered the alien symbiotic species that make up Venom. This one fallows the same pattern as most of those others. While it is always cool to see what favorite characters will look like when infected. Venom is unleashed and creates gruesome moments as expected. If you are a big fan of Venom then I am sure this will be a good enough series to keep you reading. If you are not as into Venom then, like me, you might not be as interested. The tone of the comic does have a 90's crossover feel which is a bit fun. The art does a good job. It has a familiar Bagley, or Sal Buscema feel to the art that is fitting for Venom. It is also fun to have an X team in space again. This could be a fun more
The X-Men get into a momentous showdown with Symbiote dealer Haze Mancer. Prior to that, Scott gets grievously wounded in a cheap attempt to add tension. The script's other conceits, particularly his POV narration, work better, and the final-scene surprise feels appropriately heavy. The visuals help pull this above average thanks to the amount of detail lavished on the alien setting. Character depictions are a bit cartoony, though, putting a ceiling on this issue's artistic merits.
