As the King in Black spreads his suffocating darkness across the Marvel Universe, Eddie Brock looks for a light, any light, that can pierce it - and comes up empty-handed...
Rated T+
WhileThe King in Black series has definitely been a brilliant highlight to this climactic event, you can not miss this recent run of Venom as it's clear the two are going to come crashing together very soon. Cates's fresh thinking and frenzied ideas have reminded us why we love Venom and elevated him to an elite Marvel status. Read Full Review
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
Another excellent tie-in issue. And no wonder since Cates is writing these as well. Coello's great art doesn't hurt either.
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.

One of my favorite issues of Venom.
Excellent... KING IN BLACK is turning out to be the best event from Marvel after so many years of disappointment.
" 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."

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.

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