Bryan Hitch's ability to make alien beasts wailing on each other look cool is mostly undeniable but Venom #16 suffers from a fatal flaw in the lack of visual consistency across its images. Read Full Review

Al Ewing corrects the title's tie-in course again, this time by tacking back toward the event and reminding everyone (via an excellently-written Ms. Marvel) that there's still a demon invasion going on in New York. The art's outstanding for this action-heavy serving (though Bryan Hitch won't be making my list of top Ms. Marvel artists).

This is a nicely-streamlined episode of this over-complex title, moving things forward significantly while also clearing up some ambiguities. It doesn't hurt that it's genuinely funny, too.

While I did enjoy this issue and every issue of this series involved in Dark Web, I do think the event is hindering the series a bit with this one. This issue started out strong with the dialogue between Dylan, Kamala, and Normie. I also enjoyed the fight between Dylan and Eddie, but I wasn't a huge fan of Madelyne suddenly inserting herself and snatching up Eddie so he can be in the finale one-shot. Hopefully this is just a minor bump in the road, and I think it is seeing as though the next issue isn't Dark Web-related.

I'll be honest, I liked this one a lot more than the last issue. It still could use some more emotional parts, but it was enjoyable for what it was.

Dark Web elements drag everything in the mud.

Well darn in my opinion dark web continues to hinder what was a fantastic story but luckily this is the last issue tied into that event. Hopefully we can get back to the level this book was before dark web with the next issue. With ram v and AL Ewing as the writers I am extremely confident this book will rebound and get back on track as they are both brilliant writers
