    Venom #29 is another really good read that does more than enough to keep its devoted fanssatisfied. Recommended. Read Full Review

    (Spoilerly, so back out if you have't read this yet) We know when Flash loses control of the symbiote, he gets a significant physical upgrade (one that would make Brock-Venom blush). He ragdolled Carnage, he's busted down massive security doors -- the dude is simply a beast now when he lets loose. But is it really enough to overcome the U-Foes? I'm excited to see how he'll perform against them with a more brutal mindset, but I have a feeling he's still going to need Valkrie's aid to get out of this one. I just hope we'll get some solid plot developments thrown in with all of the chaos, too. It's an enjoyable story so far, but after last issue's emotional whirlwind, I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed with this chapter. Read Full Review

    Eh.  This was an okay comic, nothing more, nothing less.  It was pretty boring at times(Flash tracking down Katy probably didn't have to be shown in such detail...), but the climatic battle was kind of fun.  Cliffhanger-wise, this was an odd one, since instead of ending with Flash and Valkyrie down and out at the feet of the U-Foes, we have the symbiote taking over and preparing to attack.  Anyway, this issue was better than the weird start to Bunn's run on this title(Venom vs demons?!  I still don't get that...), but was a bit of a step back from the last issue.

    Venom is missing the charm and flavor it once had, and no amount of Philly landmarks will fix that problem. Read Full Review
