Dinosaurs and a great script make Venom #151 by far the strongest issue since the series relaunched. Read Full Review
Venomcontinues to answer some questions about why the symbiote is acting the way itis while throwing Venom into a new adventure versus Stegron. The book remains an action heavy titleanybody who enjoys the Spider family lineup of books will undoubtedly enjoy. Read Full Review
Coming off Tradd Moore's strong effort in issue #150, this issue doesn't measure up visually. Read Full Review
This issue sets up some great action, but that's to be expected when you accidentally stumble into dinosaurs. What's really hampering the issue is the lack of direction for both the character and the series. Read Full Review
This is one of the better issues of the series. Venom 150 made me keep this title on my pull list. This issue will keep me going as well. It was a fun story and we are able to learn more about the relationship between Brock and symbiote. I thought the art was good and I will definitely be back next month.
Some wonderfully mad action puts Venom up against Stegron on behalf of Alchemax. Diving into a wacky "let's fight dinosaur men" plot is actually a refreshing change for this title. Mike Costa has also invested some effort in cultivating a good inner dialogue between Eddie and the symbiote. Most of his other characterizations and the supporting plot points are regrettable, though. Gerardo Sandoval's art is what it is: Great at splashy Venom action, pants at everything else. Which, I'm now realizing, could be said about the writing as well. This title hasn't done so hot with deep, dark character study; perhaps brainless action will prove to be the right way to go.
