Venom fans do not want to miss out on this one. It's a love letter to everything we remember about that most sinister of symbiotes. Read Full Review

This is everything I wanted in a return for the original Venom. It's spooky, psychologically introspective, and darkly comedic. The additional material also feel like warranted bonuses, rather than padding for a few extra dollars on the price tag. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 8.1 " An exhilaratingly excellent celebration of everything Venom, this is a great return to form for the character. Read Full Review

Venom #150 is a significant step up from the series first six chapters. Tradd Moore's dynamic art style is a natural fit for this over-the-top villain, and the writing immediately benefits from having two solid protagonists rather than one. However, the series still has to prove the new status quo can do more than bank on nostalgia. Also annoying is that neither backup feature really justifies the increased cost of entry.

First and foremost it is compelling story built on the dramatic weight of the character. With that we get the purest form of celebration, a reminder of what has made this character work all these years while so many others have been quickly forgotten. Read Full Review

The first story is great. The other two are not nearly as good. If you're a 90's-era Venom fan, however, the whole issue is definitely worth picking up. Read Full Review

An oversizedVenom #150 Issue Spectacular for $5.99 is filled with a throwback feel to howthe character used to operate which seems to be the way this series is progressing. This may be a development to upset long time followers of Venomthe last few years after some interesting forward progress for the symbioteitself as a character. The art from the middle story featuring Sandoval remainsmy favorite way Venom has been rendered plus you gotta love that classic cover style! Read Full Review

All in all, an impressively compelling and sadly off-putting final product. That's a shame, but the lead story effectively does the job of giving readers the original Venom again, and in a far more interesting way than you'd expect. Read Full Review

Venom #150 is a step in the right direction, but it's not perfect. Mike Costa needs to build up the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote more. It almost seems like we're thrown in and things are already in place. The art needs to be a little darker for a title like this. It was light in certain spots and didn't fit. We're on our way to getting the Venom series we want, but we're not there yet. Read Full Review

Venom #150 is a disappointing milestone in the life of Eddie Brock. Read Full Review

Eddie Brock is reunited with Venom at last, but he discovers the symbiote is traumatized and maddened. The A-story script is very much a love story; specifically, it's about a good man reunited with a toxic partner. This messed-up symbiote is not what Eddie expected, and though he won't give it up, he's headed down a much different road than he thought he was. Artistically, the A-story is a love affair of a different sort. Tradd Moore knows that drawing Venom #150 calls for something special, and he delivers in a way that few Marvel artists do today. It's truly a sight to see. The B and C stories are cut from different, far cheaper cloth. The "how Flash lost Venom" story is supremely unsatisfying. Gerardo Sandoval draws a frenetic Venom, but he's absolute pants at humans - like the random dude who sonically separates the symbiote from Flash. It's technically one of the FBI sleazeballs that was plaguing Lee Price in earlier issues, but I had to resort to internet research to figure that out. Mike Costa's cardboard characterization of those agents up to this point certainly didn't help, and while this story isn't finished yet, nothing about its presentation so far bodes well for the future. The final story is a bit of Michelinie/Lim fluff that recreates the weaknesses of 90s comics a little too well. This issue would be a major disappointment without Tradd Moore's tour-de-force performance, and even with that gorgeousness, it's a long way from flawless.

I read this issue and immediately thought it was the best in this series so far. Great main story and as much as people say the other stories do not matter..... It explains why the symbiote was detached from Flash. I would say that is pretty important. The last story was a classic 90's style tale. I thought the whole book was enjoyable and if this type of quality continues, this series will have turned around better than I expected. I was about to drop this from my weekly pulls.

Great story by Costa and Tradd Moore who's the star of this book. I see the potential. Costa has to deliver otherwise i will drop the book like i did at issue 3.
2nd story not so much. Robbie Thompson tries to come up with a reason as to why Flash and Venom aren't together anymore and it's lackluster. After reading Venom for a while now with Flash as the host/Agent i expected a better story than the 3 page anticlimactic piece i got.
Maybe i expect too much!

The first (and main) story of 3 was fantastic with amazing art. The other 2 stories felt tacked on and unessential.

A really good issue and renewed direction. A vast improvement from 1-6. The art was alright. The ending was a shock (and somewhat senseless). Hardly a 'Spectacular' issue, though. The 2 backups were wasteful save for the updating of Mania a bit.
