Donny Cates writes Venom once again, alongside guest artist Salvador Larroca! In this team-up of kings, Thor, King of Asgard, and Eddie Brock, King in Black, must set aside their personal differences to save the one thing they both love: Earth!
RATED T+
Larroca delivers great art in the issue. There are some great action beats in the issue and the fights are visually engaging. Read Full Review
Thor #27 not only unites the God of Thunder with Venom but also merges together Al Ewing and Donny Cates's respective writing talents. I hope this isn't the end of Ewing and Cates working together, because they fall into sync in a way few comic creators do. Maybe they'll have another Marvel crossoverI could definitely see HulkandX-Men Red working together. Read Full Review
This first issue is almost entirely exposition, but Ewing's always delightful dialogue keeps things engaging. Read Full Review
Not a bad start to the Thor & Venom crossover. I haven't been reading Al Ewing's Venom, so I'm not sure how much that would or wouldn't have boosted my experience reading this issue. Nonetheless, this was still fairly enjoyable. Loki being a comic relief wasn't something I particularly expected, but it was one of the main highlights of this book for me. While I'm not as interested in this storyline as the others in this run, this was still well-written and entertaining. Hoping things pick up in the next issue and second half of this crossover.
A enjoyable crossover.
It's a change, at least. And it's got a fun, breezy style, thanks in no small part to Loki doing full-time comic relief. The art's a little stiff, but well-polished.
Dang, but it takes a while for the story to get in gear, though!
The start of a new story arc, which isn't the clearest but I am still interested in
It had some good art, and some good parts, but it wasn't very exciting.
Make an obscure villain pop out of a portal, followed by Venom and, boom, we have a story... Or at least, an excuse to crossover with another character Cates writes...
