Spider-Man & Venom: Double Trouble is fun, fancy-free and a true delight. It's a riff on the characters that all ages can love. Read Full Review
This was a surprisingly fun read, and a good reminder that comics don't have to take themselves so seriously all the time. Read Full Review
Spider-man & Venom: Double trouble #1 is a hilarious start to what I have no doubt will be a great mini-series for all ages. The portrayal of the characters might not appeal to some purists and the cliches might be a bit too much for some but it's a great book if you can get past that. Read Full Review
This book easily serves its purpose if you just want to find an age-appropriate comic for a young reader, or if you're hoping to introduce a little newbie into the world of comics, specifically Spider-Man. Read Full Review
Gurhiru does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to making this issue work by incorporating some captivating and beautiful visuals throughout this issue. Read Full Review
Spider-Man & Venom: Double Trouble #1 is fine. If you are a die-hard Gurihiru fan, then you obviously won't be disappointed. I could understand someone wanting to pick this up just for the adorable art. Those hoping for a fun-for-the-whole-family script will be a little disappointed, but the youngest will have a good time. This wouldn't be a bad place to start reading comics at all. Read Full Review
I can't recommend anything about this book. The artwork is boring, the dialogue ridiculous (my God Venom say 'nom nom nom' for goodness sake) and the plot practically non-existent. The artwork is a horror show; amateurish and unbecoming of a Marvel book and the characters that grace its pages. I applaud the desire to bring in younger audiences but if this book is presented this way for that effect it is a failed effort that is an insult to the very readers you are trying to court.

If I had bought this in a physical store, I would have flipped through it and probably put it back for being "too cutesy".
I bought it digitally, so I was surprised by the art and story.
It wasn't bad, though. I thought it was light-hearted and amusing. Perfect for kids.
I'll echo the sentiment that not every comic has to be super-serious, or adult-oriented humor.
This is fun and cute. Not worth reading unless you are looking for that. It's not canon or anything like that.
Spider Man/Venom: Double Trouble 1 was definitely not what I thought it would be but its a great comic for kids 10 and under
The art is cute and the writing has some moments but I’m so annoyed that the scansion in the lyrics doesn’t work out most of the time.
It's a bespoke AU where Spidey and Venom are fractious roommates and Ghost Spider is their long-suffering downstairs neighbor. And the big ongoing plot is a mark-one body-swap between the leads. The target demographic is so young that we're not even fooling with dual identities here. The story doesn't stretch very far toward accommodating adult readers. The art's delightful, though, and this series should be a treat for Mini-Marvelites. Pop a couple extra points on my rating if you're shopping for something solid for a reader whose age is still in/close to single digits.
Aimed at an even younger audience than I expected. I am not sure how to score it since I am not the proper audience. The art was nice, a bit rougher lined than their other work... almost giving it a crayon look.
