    Venom #23 brings together a couple of symbiotes who haven't seen each other in a while – Venom and Toxin. Now, despite the cool cover, there's not that much action in the comic. Bren, the current host of Toxin, asks Dylan for help, they find the threat and take 'em down without much trouble. It's not a thrilling story, but the characters are well-written as they currently are, and the art compliments the symbiotes' designs. Read Full Review

    'Venom' continues to be an oddly paced book, but there are some solid character moments and action here. The hints toward Grnbekk's upcoming run on the book are very exciting and feel appropriately moody. Read Full Review
