The villainous LIFE FOUNDATION is back - and they have DYLAN BROCK DEAD IN THEIR SIGHTS! Led once again by the insidious Carlton Drake, the symbiote-hunting organization has larger ambitions than ever before, and with ARTHUR KRANE in the palm of their hand, they finally have the political leverage to make them a reality.
A pretty solid issue that looks like it's leading to something awfully big. Read Full Review
Venom #4 delivers new twists and turns into its narrative, with the Lethal Protector facing off against the Life Foundation's machinations. I don't know where the series is headed, but it seems to be leaning into the cosmic horror elements of Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman's run and I'm all for that. Read Full Review
Wild twists abound as 'Venom' #4 hammers home the idea that nothing will ever be the same for the titular Symbiote. Read Full Review
A solid issue with a great mix of action and emotion. Read Full Review
Venom #4 continues the story with Dylan captured and the Venom symbiote racing to the rescue while dealing with the Life Foundation. Some character decisions make more sense than others here, and the action between the Venom symbiote and Spearhead is fine but not fun. However, it all comes together and the ending shows that pieces of a bigger plot are moving into place, which will lead to something interesting in the next issue. Read Full Review
Hitch's artwork has been at its best on the title when he's doing weird and wacky, and Venom #4 has that in spades. Read Full Review
I'm loving this series currently so much.
Great book! There are all sorts of things going on in this one that continue to set up a large and excited story. I'm loving the direction the venom book continues to go and can't wait for the next issue
New villain is weird and i like it. Hitch drawing Venom has been a lot of fun!
Some of this felt a bit rushed, but overall im loving the psychological thriller aspects of this story, can't wait for the next issue!
This series is one of the few that I still buy, even though in some strange way Eddie seems to be still trapped in the symbiote, that makes him much more protective of his son. Idea that I love.
I feel that this number was not about big things, but it is preparing us for a bigger stage. The art is impeccable, which I love, and if you ask me, good art and color is one of the advantages that comics have over manga, however, the story is decisive, at least for me, for an issue or series to be good.
Though Dylan's a little passive, I'm pretty engaged with what's happening to him. It all looks gorgeous and the unfolding plot is compelling. I'm particularly curious to see what Eddie's up to.
The writing's decent; this script has a nice structure and pace. The technobabble is kind of annoying. I don't think the author's ideas are coming across quite as clear or profound as he wants them to be.
Another solid issue from Ram V., but I have to say that my interest is beginning to deteriorate. I agree with what Psycamorean said in their review, in that I'm sure that the next issue will be great with Ewing returning to bring the focus back to Eddie's storyline. I just wish V.'s story with Dylan was better.
This is just... not what I'm interested in. I bet next issue with Ewing will be great, but... man, this is a shame.
I still can't get into Ram V's writing, as much as I try and I really am trying. I love Venom and I am even warming up to Dylan, but Ram V just makes every book he writes very decompressed and boring. He takes a nice concept and manages to make it dull. I really hope next issue Ewing pushes this book in some exciting territory because I'm not feeling this at all.
This book has quickly gone from “first comic of the week I read” to “meh.” And in all fairness, I gave it a shot. We’re four issues in. It’s not horrible, it’s just kinda boring. If you’re going to switch the focus from Eddie to Dylan, make a compelling case why. So far, that’s not been done.
