BLOOD HUNT TIE-IN: LEE PRICE RETURNS!
The CAPTIVE is loose! And the vampiric super-foe thirsts for one thing - VENOM! And the Captive isn't the only problem - the dead now walk an Earth smothered in eternal night. Vampires infest New York City, and LEE PRICE, one-time host to the Venom symbiote, rises from the grave! And he has unfinished business with his old partner.
Rated T+
Writer Al Ewing and artist Juan Ferreyra deliver another knockout issue of Venom, which makes you not only forget that it's a tie-in to a big event but rewards the reader for realizing by story's end this was also a building block to something else. Read Full Review
Venom #34 continues to bring the strongest visuals of Marvel's Blood Hunt event, and throws in some compelling character-work as the cherry on top. Read Full Review
Venom #34 concludes its part of the Blood Hunt in this second part. It manages to tell the story it needs to and wrap it up neatly. Its not the most exciting or thrilling issue, but its still okay and the art helps sell the horror angle here. The villains end up having their highs and lows, but the issue finds a way to anchor this story in the history of Venom and have things circle back to the main plot in the end. Read Full Review
I want to give it a 10 for the art alone, this has been some of the best I've seen in a long time. Marvel should just throw all the moneys at Juan Ferreyra to draw anything he wants. I'd love to see him on Ghost Rider. The story was good, a little boring at times. The Lee Price stuff was meh but the Dylan stuff was solid. Sometimes I was too distracted by how pretty the art was to pay attention to the word balloons...
This two-parter was amazing. Ewing's writing is almost always good, but special credit has to be given to Juan Ferreyra, who made this arc truly memorable. I hope we see more of him in Venom, his art fit this really well.
Im late af but I gotta sing the praises on this for a sec.
This was a tie in arc which I fully expected to be a forgettable side quest. And while it is a side quest it has some phenomenal characterization for venom, absolutely INCREDIBLE art by juan Ferreyra, and awesome callbacks for long time venom fans.
This issue and the previous one sees the series once again acknowledge Lee price, whos short stint as venom kickd off my tenure with the characters comics that has remained since 2016.
But even beyond that, this series brings back side character from venom 150, which was a landmark issue from around 2018 that saw Eddie brock in a particularly low point in life meet a lonesome priest; in an encounter that more
The art for this mini-arc was quite amazing.
Another fairly strong issue, especially for being an event tie-in. Of course, Ferreyra absolutely kills it on the art again and I'd definitely call that aspect of this book the highlight. However, Ewing doesn't disappoint with the story, either, particularly with the symbiote's side of things. Dylan's side was good and enjoyable, just not great. The stuff with Venom, Captive, and Lee was enthralling and just well-written overall, despite a little bit of a slower start, in my opinion.
The art was fire. The story was mixed. I liked the Dylan parts. The part with The Captive just felt like a bland villain that talks to much type of thing. Like that the end wrapped back to the main story they've been telling.
I did not like this at all.
The art was fine. Nothing special. Above average , perhaps. The story was a hot mess, as most of Ewing's contributions to this series have been. I had a hard time following what was going on, and thought the whole concept of zombie Venom was just dumb. Dylan is, apparently, in his mid 20s now, going by the art. Him being "half symbiote" is still head-scratching. The fact that he smoked a vampire by hitting it over the head with a chair, then staking it with a broken chair leg like he's been doing it all his life was also odd.
I'm tired of the nonsense, I really am. Can we get Torrun Gronbekk back, please. Really enjoyed her issues.
