Rated T+
Death of the Venomverse #2 lives up to is title with an ever growing death toll, and the team of Cullen Bunn, Gerardo Sandoval, Jim Campbell, Victor Olazaba, and Clayton Cowles lean into the brutality and spectacle that the premise commands. Read Full Review

Review at (3:10) in video
Aaaand it all collapses down to pointless, gory violence involving variants and deep-cut characters we barely know. The art is dynamic, but it lacks clarity--though I think the script is partly to blame for that. The plot is functional in a sterile, algorithmic way: Baddy does X, so we do Y, repeat ad nauseam.
The final page extends the hope that the Flash/Andi thread is still alive, and that may redeem future issues for me. It doesn't do diddly to make me enjoy #2, though.
Backups: Five pages is an awfully challenging format. These creators just haven't a prayer of squeezing anything compelling into that little space.
