I liked the first issue and Ram V did a great job on Swampthing so I'm going to the run a chance and see if he can bring the same quality to Venom. I tend to enjoy Hitchs art too.

Dec 07, 2021This issue was much less chaotic than the last issue, but at the same time, the pacing was rather slow to a point where the action beats at the end felt much more staged than they needed to be. I'm also having a little difficulty in accepting or finding anything about Dylan Brock that I can relate to. Hopefully, that will change over the course of the story. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Dec 01, 2021Venom #2 officially passes the mantle of the Lethal Protector to Dylan Brock, as he struggles to live in a world without his father. With the arrival of a new supporting character, and the threat of the Life Foundation, Dylan definitely has his work cut out for him. Read Full Review

Dec 01, 2021THE DISPATCHIf you dig into VENOM #2 expecting to get answers about Eddie and his mysterious pit stop, you wont find them this week. Ram V turns the focus of the series towards Dylan and his new connection with the VENOM symbiote. Overall, readers dont uncover too much new information. Nonetheless, Ram uses this issue as setup in order to progress the structure of the narrative moving forward while introducing a few new characters to his story. Readers, the premise is pretty straightforward and easy to follow. Plus, its logical and direct by inadvertently answering questions about the aftermath of the KING IN BLACK event. Read Full Review

Dec 01, 2021Venom #1 took the series in a whole new direction with some pretty grand concepts. Venom #2 dials things back a bit delivering action but also a focus on the characters and the impact of that debut issue. It hints we're going to get a series that can do the macro and the micro and balance it out, which should make for a very interesting read going forward. Read Full Review

Dec 01, 2021The second issue of 'Venom' does a fantastic job of juggling the emotional fallout of the debut and the encroaching darkness in Dylan's new life. Read Full Review

Dec 08, 2021The new era of Venom continues with an issue that is solid in respect to character development and moments, even if artistically it leans a bit too far into the dark and gloomy side of things. There is a ton of potential in this book and what concepts it is trying to deal with, and hopefully it can achieve the levels it wants to reach. Read Full Review

I actually like this. Ram V on Dylan and Al Ewing on Eddie. Two writer two protagonist of series with one artist (hopefully Bryan Hitch stays like Ryan Stegman stayed on Venom). Story is interesting. I like that Venom Symbiote got identity. Identity similar to Eddie Brock.

This kind of storytelling is very interesting. Since we have two writers who are focusing on two characters on two different timelines and places, some of the readers might be annoyed by that. I'm not, even if I really wanted to see what happens with Eddie. However, Ram V did a really good job with this one, setting things up nicely for Dylan and his new foes.

I liked this one more that the first. It was a pretty well written story and I'm enjoying Dylan's story. Great art.

The team is keeping the book in the sweet spot. Plenty of action and character development. Leaves me wanting more. So far so good. Hope they keep it up.

This is good. I just don't find it as engaging as issue one.

The art's growing on me; I can admit this is pure top-shelf stuff. And I liked the full-on Dylan focus. There's not a lot of novelty to his plot or antagonists yet, though. I found most of the prose dry and expository, with Krane and Drake using an awful lot of words to say very little. A super-cliche Terminator quote as a closing line really rustled my jimmies, too.

Not a fan of Hitch, but I think the storyline could lead somewhere interesting.

If you read my review of the previous issue, you'd know that I preferred the Eddie story. However, I liked Dylan's story as well and I continue to like it here. V. does a solid job of making him a compelling/likable protagonist and I'm genuinely interested in his story right now. Plus, Hitch's art is actually pretty good throughout this issue. Something I am concerned about is the balancing between Eddie and Dylan in this series. It looks like the next time we're getting Eddie as the main focus of the story is Issue 5, since Ewing is writing that one. I hope one Brock isn't ignored for a long period of time before going back to the other. I do think including Eddie's voicemail to Dylan was a good way to include him in some way in this issue more

Father son stuff is great and we're starting something new here so its a building issue. Bryan Hitch is great but the splash page moments every time Venom fights the soldiers isnt my thing.

Yeah, this really wasn't as great as some people are making it up to be and I say that as a big Venom fan, it's not bad but it's definitely not on the level of Cates' run in the beginning.
