The "Poison X" crossover between X-Men Blue and Venom continues in Venom #162, and the story may be suffering from symbiote overload. Read Full Review
Venom #162 is the kind of '90s throwback that makes a long-time comics fan question whether he's outgrown comics. Read Full Review
Aside from the artwork, there's really not much to recommend here. Read Full Review
Venom #162 is just another issue of X-Men Blue, and X-Men Blue is in a disappointing state right now. While the artists do their best to salvage this book, the dialogue and plot-pacing weight this enterprise down too much. Give this one a pass. Read Full Review
Venomized X-Men goes about exactly as you'd expect: "Wow, new powers!" "This symbiote removes politeness filters and pushes me to express my true, hurtful feelings," yadda yadda. Decent fighting and some very nice art elevate this slightly above normal. Unfortunately, we've got more Haze Mancer and LOTS more Killer Thrill coming up, plus a surprise twist villain. If you survey Cullen Bunn's recent work for a half a minute you can figure it out. This issue was a bit good on its own; I shudder to think where this title is headed, though.
This has been a fun arc. It's not anything special or classic, but it is definitely entertaining and fun.
Yeah, to most of that said so far. Lucky to get a 6.
