Not only is this issue essential reading to Venom fans, and the King in Black event, this series is important to Marvel fans in general. The symbiote mythology continues to expand and as Cates’ time on the series draws close to an end it’s clear he’s giving his all to Venom. Stunning art and revelations about throughout the issue, fans won’t be disappointed. Read Full Review

At long last, Eddie Brock gets the moment that he's been needing since Donny Cates took over Venom. Read Full Review

Venom #33 takes an interesting step forward when it comes to Symbiote legacy. Cates is adding more richness to the way these aliens work while plodding forward with Eddie's personal journey in finding resolution as a man who can't see how he's a hero. This issue suffers from excessive exposition and speeches, but makes up for it well enough with some mind-bending ideas. Read Full Review

Iban's art combined with all the screen time Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson share together are the highlights of this chapter in the King in Black saga. This issue co-exists perfectly with the happenings take have unfolded over in the main King in Black book, giving this issue a lot of merit as an essential tie-in. However, expect quite a bit of inaction from our main heroes for most of the book before they finally take the fight to Knull. Read Full Review

Each number of this arc and King in Black plays with the emotions of the reader, the beginning we gave the battle for loss, slowly in each number it gives us hope and then demolishes them and leaves us in insecurity. The Dragon please, it was just great.

Another excellent tie-in issue. And no wonder since Cates is writing these as well. Coello's great art doesn't hurt either.

Excellent... KING IN BLACK is turning out to be the best event from Marvel after so many years of disappointment.

Nice.

Dylan's real-world fight in KiB #3 has an impact on the Hive Eddie's stuck in. He and Flash take advantage, fighting their way toward freedom -- but Knull isn't letting Eddie go just yet. This comic lives on a string of awesome moments, points where the writer or the artist go above and beyond to make you say "coool." Those moments work very well, and there's more than enough awesome to make up for a plot that doesn't quite stand up to close scrutiny.

I really liked this Venom Run and this issue is bitter sweet seeing Eddies journey coming to an end. These tie ins work great when read side by side with the main issues.

With so much Flash Thompson action there's no way this can be bad. Really enjoyed this one, finally the plot is moving forward much faster than before.

Ive been enjoying Venom throughout the king in black tie ins. Its adding a lot of depth and feels like it means something.

The build-up truly culminated in a suicide run for the century that Flash Thompson made that could almost make me forgive him for beating up Peter Parker in the '60s. Even Eddie got to redeem himself here, and the whole concept of these hosts battling their way back from symbiote hell - it's just that classic Jesus-arc the Christendom really loves to rehash over and over with a saviour rising from below to sit on high. But the snag Eddie hits at the end , hahaha , that's the type of madness that will have me returning to read Cates' next installment.

Venom
Volume: 4, Issue: 33
“Agents Venom”

Publisher: Marvel @marvel
Writer: Donny Cates @dcates
Artist: Iban Coello @coelloiban
Colors: Jesus Aburtov @aburtov
Letters: Clayton Cowles
Cover: Ryan Stegman @ryanstegman & Jason Keith @jasonraykeith

With his world crumbling to pieces all around him, Dylan chooses to rise up and face the chaos head on amongst the remaining defenders of Earth. Capable of freeing those heroes who’ve fallen to Knull’s influence, Dylan’s actions are felt by Eddie, as he journeys the symbiote hive mind. Existing as a spirit along with former hosts Rex Strickland and Flash Thompson, the trio discover a means to return to the physical world. Flash’s efforts prove successful, but before Eddie can act, Rex morphs to reveal himself to be none other than Knull!

Iban Coello & Jesus Aburtov do an amazing job creating some truly epic scenes. The shot of Dylan releasing Cap is excellent. I’m glad that I’m enjoying KIB more than I thought I would. I particularly loved Peter’s conversation with Dylan. That’s what has always made Spider-Man the best of them all.

" You're storming the gates of hell tous save the world and rescue your son. You're a hero Eddie. Make no mistake. You're venom. Now, let me be a soldier."

Very good issue. The moment between Peter and Dylan was pretty good and the interaction between Brock and Flash was good. Some of the plot stuff could have been more well written though.
