Seeds planted much earlier in the Venom run are beginning to blossom, an excellent alternate reality story is reason enough to recommend this story but all of the reveals in this issue make it an excellent story. DO NOT READ ANY SPOILERS FOR THIS ISSUE. Make sure you buy and read it as soon as possible. Read Full Review
Venom #28 is great! I haven't had as much fun reading a Venom arc as I've been getting out of Cates' newest story, and three issues in it hasn't disappointed me. Read Full Review
Final thoughts on Venom #28: well Venomaniacs, I'm still taking this issue in and contemplating what this does for the book going forward. This is probably the biggest issue that Cates has written since taking over the book and is yet another example of why he belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of Venom writers. Read Full Review
Overall, despite having a couple stumbles with the dialogue, the creative team has done a wonderful job with this issue. The plot is surging forward and youll be pleasantly surprised by the revelations in this issue. Read Full Review
A LOT of things got revealed this issue. Read Full Review
In a world where everyone is symbiotic, the illustrations need some style, identity, and definition. This book lacks all three and it's distracting. Read Full Review
This is a better direction for the story arc, but it still doesn't mesh with the attitude and mature themes of the main series. Something isn't quite clicking here, which is a shame, as there are sound ideas at work. Read Full Review
Damnnnnnnnnn!
Magnification.
Venom moves at a pace any comic book fan can appreciate. Venom heads will love this issue. The big reveal of Virus was great.
" I mourned you. I almost lost my mind. I hated you for leaving me. Hated your father for never being there for you. And i hated myself because i could never make you believe how much i loved you. I was just so lost... So confuse.... So angry. I was just... So mad. Mad at myself. At your father for never being there for you. At that... Reporter. That Parker idiot who drove you to this... And then... Something in the dark felt that anger... It came to me. "

I really enjoyed this! I know Juan Gedeon's art is divisive, but I like it here.
That ending! At first i was not so sure on Juan Gedeon's art but it's really growing on me. Lots of action and yet the story moves forward. Nice job lads!
The story is fine but the artwork looks more suitable for an issue of Venumb.
It was pretty solid. I enjoyed the revelations except for virus. Sucks to be some of the speculators on that one. Bit it had a lot going for it and curious to how they use codex.
Ugh alternate dimension still.
The writing is good and the revelations are surprising. The only downside of this issue is the artwork. For issue that is more focused on storytelling than action, Gedeon's art is lacking.
It’s a good continuation of the story with some big new twists. I think the art could be better at times
The art works well with the action.
Sorry, it's a decent premise and the script is solid, but googly-eyed AU Reed Richards triggered my "hurl this comic away and don't look back" reflex. The art's ruining this for me.
