"DARK WEB" PRELUDE!
Forced to watch his son die from across the timestream, Eddie Brock finds himself surrounded by enemies. Alone, and with no one to trust, an unexpected ally lends a hand, and she's setting the stage for the MOST EPIC CROSSOVER OF THE YEAR!
RATED T+
Venom #13 gives us a new feature of Venom's newfound powers while dropping the entire story in a new location that is taking things in an entirely new direction. One can imagine the Dark Web event is sidestepping some of the bigger questions for awhile, but given how fun it is right out of the gate, I say bring it on. Read Full Review
Venom #13 takes a little detour into the realm of Limbo, interweaving its own narrative with some obvious set-up for an upcoming crossover in an impressively smooth way. Read Full Review
As was the case with the likes of Immortal Hulk, even when tying in his new Venom series to a new Marvel event, scribe Al Ewing makes it play seamlessly with the narrative he's already telling. Read Full Review
Venom #13 picks things up with Eddie Brock this time around and sets things up for his connection to the upcoming Dark Web event. The comic does a fine job capturing Eddie's desperate state of mind and it's not all doom and gloom for the symbiote web-slinger. Mileage will vary on whether or not fans will like this sort of detour for Eddie's story, and hopefully Venom's contributions to the event will be enjoyable. Read Full Review
I love this series so much.
It made me hyped for Dark Web even.
El Ewing crushes it in an Eddie focused story
A pretty good issue that ends up leading into the Dark Web event. I found Eddie's conversation with Tyro really interesting and I thought Eddie's time in Limbo was pretty fun as well. Hopefully Dark Web doesn't take away from the story currently being told in this series.
It's getting to the point where some of the beats feel like it's not going anywhere. The other parts are pretty solid. I like the idea's. Some of them just don't always work out the best.
It's a little simple; Eddie's chucked toward the upcoming event in a slow, easy pitch. But the simplicity also makes it a palate cleanser after all the mind-f#$%ery this title's been doing.
As an obsessive "read everything" user of Marvel Unlimited, I admire the way Dark Web looks set to pull characters and plot threads out of so many different titles. So far it's impressively rational -- but it is very early days, isn't it?
Dark Web looks TERRIBLE, but I liked this issue. Still hope someone replaces Hitch.
