• As everything Dylan Brock has come to know and love unravels around him, he is beginning to realize a terrible truth: The VENOM SYMBIOTE is not a harmless pet, no matter how much it pretends to be one.
• It's an alien. A dangerous, violent, often bloodthirsty alien. Whatever bond it had with Dylan's father, Eddie Brock, special as it may have been...is gone. And Dylan might be soon too.
RATED T+
OverallAnother solid issue, which adds a few more layers to the story and brings us a little closer to the conspiracy. Additionally, we also get some great internal dialogue from the Venom Symbiote about the problems it is having when it comes to a lack of a bond with Eddies son. This winds up being a nice bit of foreshadowing for a moment in which he confronts Eddies son when he is told to stay behind. Read Full Review
VENOM #3 re-grounds the character and returns the premise of VENOM back to its roots. Ram V sets up a new villain with a sharp story that builds the identity of the symbiote itself and lays a strong foundation for the future of this run. Read Full Review
Even with stunning cosmic flashbacks and monstrous visuals, the Venom symbiote has rarely felt more human than in this issue. Read Full Review
Venom #3 redefines the bond between Dylan Brock and his father's symbiote while reintroducing an enemy from Venom's past. This book is just starting to pick up steam I'm more than ready to see where it goes. Read Full Review
Marvel Comics' near-decade of symbiote revival might be running on fumes as the latest Venom series tries to find its place within a sphere where seemingly everything has been said & done numerous times. All of the creative team are solid individuals that feel somewhat mismatched with this book and the premise that seems to be on display at the moment. Read Full Review
Where it struggles is in breaking form this issue, tilting characters like a dutch angle in cinema that seemed to be an interesting attempt but one that didn't work. Read Full Review
I absolutely the direction the venom book continues to go. The last volume took a charecter I already liked and put him m on the next level. This volume appears to be taking the venom book to an even higher level. This issue continues the fantastic charecter building and world building in a fantastic way. I like the depth of the story already the pace is not rushed the dialogue is fantastic and the story has me very intrigued. It all comes together to paint a picture with many layers and colors and I'm loving every minute. Bring on issue #4 I can't wait.
This story feels like progress for Venom and his timeline. Dylan is great and hes here to stay. Only wish he was fleshed out a bit more so we knew more of who he is outside of being Eddies kids but we’re getting there
It's a good read. I like the direction they are going. It's very natural and it's well written.
If you are waiting for Al Ewing to make Venom the same stuff Immortal Hulk was, this will disappoint you. It isn't like that. Ram's take on Dylan is different what Ewing will do with Eddie.
And I like that. I'm continuing to like what I'm getting with Dylan portion. I'm not that familiar with Ram V, but this is good.
Not to say that Ewing's stuff doesn't interest me. It does. Very much. But this? It's good too.
The low rhythm, I sow it keeps the interest, I think the next number will go well.
I like the way the story develops, at least the central burglary-to-betrayal plot featuring Dylan. The Life Foundation scenes that bookend it remain mighty dry and expository.
On the art front, I think this comic has strong bones being undermined by poor finishing. The colors are dull (but otherwise OK). The inking is shockingly rough.
This should be a top-tier title, and I would love to love it. But the storytelling or the story (or sometimes both) always seem to let me down a little.
Good issue but the pacing for the story is very slow, that's one of Ram V's signature moves, decompressed stories.
A solid read, but the weakest of the series thus far, in my opinion. This moved kind of slow without enough interesting content/ideas to warrant it. Hitch's art was solid, though. I don't really have that much to say about this one. I just hope that V. is able to make Dylan's story a little more interesting.
This one wasn't great. The amount of exposition in this issue is terrible and I really dislike the tone this series is beginning to have.
