Rated T+
Donny Cates continues to deliver in every aspect of Venom. Not only does he manage to successfully tie-in Absolute Carnage to Venom, but he excels at telling a story within a story that keeps you begging for more. With that being said I need to make sure that Iban Coellos and Rain Beredos work does not go on without recognition, as they are just as much as responsible for delivering a dynamic coloring to excellent words that keep us coming back Read Full Review
A good chapter within the larger ongoing story that does its job well, while further planting the seeds for the future of the characters Read Full Review
Visually exceptional with its bright colors and fun expressive art, which only strengthens the writing. This issue not only gives us a different angle of the events of Absolute Carnage from another's point of view, it also teases some cryptic points that will surely be important come the rest of the Venom on-going even after this event is done.

The shift in Venom to focus on Dylan has been a very welcome change in the midst of the "Absolute Carnage" event. Read Full Review
Great writing, superb art & colours, mysteries teased, a solid entry to both Venom & Absolute Carnage, only a shame it was marred by poor decisions around the release schedule, which unfortunately drags the score down. Read Full Review

Metal
Prelude:
It's Venom's third tie-in issue to Absolute Carnage. Can Cates continue to deliver on what have been great tie-ins so far?
The Good:
Sleeper and Dylan remain a highlight as Cates starts to explore their new status quo within this event.
The teamwork in this issue was great.
Also got some set-up for future issues with the Maker and Dylan.
The Bad:
Continuity is a bit weird around the main series, AC: Avengers and AC: Immortal Hulk.
Conclusion:
It's a story about Dylan and Sleeper as they adapt to Absolute Carnage. Ultimately a set-up issue for when Absolute Carnage and Venom reach their final issues for the event respectively.
I wish I had a cool symbiote cat.
Man, this issue flew by. But it was very fun!
What a tease lol.. Dylan was about to totally evolve and once again shows restraint LOL. Can't wait until he tells Eddie about what is inside him.
Eddie's son just got more interesting. Sleeper proves he's more than a one hit wonder and Hawkeye delivers a eye rolling line in another great issue of Venom. For tie in issues these carried weight and were worth the read unlike most in it's class.
That cliffhanger... Can't wait for the next issue.
It's a solid script, but being published late makes it feel more like a recap than it deserves. The art isn't particularly impressive, either.
Excited to see what happens with Dylan. I do like that they kept sleeper in the mix. I just felt like if youve kept with absolute carnage this book has things in it that just seem like this should have came out earlier.
" Dylan. I will be at your side though what is to come. I will protect you to the best of my ability. And i will never betray you... But i must ask one thing... When are you gonna to tell Eddie what you really are ? "
