It's impressive how far Venom has come in the last few years. Once a villain mostly known for looking cool, he's now bumping into Marvel's most powerful characters and able to hold his own. In Venom #8, we're witnessing even more stretching of Venom's abilities and what we think we know about Symbiotes. It's an incredible thing to watch Venom impress in all-new ways. Read Full Review
Al Ewing takes the character of Eddie Brock on a time-traveling, science fiction adventure that is sure to satisfy any fan's desire for action, while also presenting unique possibilities regarding Venom's fate and his potential effect on the future of the entire Marvel universe. Read Full Review
Picking up from its best issue earlier this year, writer Al Ewing has crafted a Tenet-like twisty piece of science fiction that feels like the kind of radical invention that Venom needed after the previous run with the character. Read Full Review
Venom #8 is the beginning of a brand new story arc, this time focusing on Eddie Brock as Venom. The story starts with Eddie trying to figure out his new state of being than quickly shifts to a new time period that directly relates to Kang the Conqueror. The comic delivers the big confrontation between Venom and Kang while also deepening the main storyline in its own way. Read Full Review
It's just so good. I'm loving this series so much.
It's not that the Ram V part of this volume is *bad*. It's just that the Al Ewing part is, for me, *so much better*.
This issue is taut, fast, and action-heavy, segueing into some cool (albeit predictable) plot developments at the end. And lest it seem too light, it opens with a deep characterization gut-punch for Eddie. Add some stellar art and a fine helping of jokes and you've got a great comic.
I very much agree with what CrazyForRAMU stated in their review, in that Ram V.'s side of this series isn't bad, it's just that Ewing's side is so much better. Every time I see that Ewing is writing an issue of this series, I get more excited than when it's V. Again, V.'s story with Dylan isn't bad by any means, but Ewing's story with Eddie is just so much more interesting. Here, we get Eddie traveling far into the future and having a well-written encounter with Kang that progresses the ongoing story with Meridius a bit by the end of it. As much as I think V. is a good writer and as much as I actually want to see more from that side of the story after last issue's Bedlam reveal, I'm very glad that the next two issues are going to be from Ewmore
First half of this started a bit slow for me, but the latter half that featured Kang was really fun to read and set up a nice cliffhanger. Kang's always been one of those villains I enjoy reading.
Real fun and something unusual for a Venom storyline.
Interesting issue. Really like the Kang portrayal.
Its getting messy but im still in
Don't get the Al Ewing hype but he's clearly not for me so gonna drop this run. I love sci fi stories, but personally don't find he's able to tell compelling or even interesting stories.
