Look man, I have zero interest talking about this with you. You obviously don't like this series so stop reading it. Giving all mainline Spider-Man comics a 1 and arguing about it with people who like it helps no one and goes nowhere. I liked MJ's apology and how both her and Peter acted like adults. You don't so don't read this series. Why do you want to be mad all the time?

May 20, 2026Venom #258 does the heavy lifting fans have been waiting for, tackling messy character dynamics with maturity and care. Al Ewing leans into emotional resolution, giving Peter, MJ, and Dylan space to process everything that’s happened, while still setting the stage for what’s next. It may not satisfy every reader, especially those still frustrated with past choices, but it succeeds in moving these characters forward in a meaningful way. Read Full Review

This was good. Really good. Very well written epilogue where adult people speak like adults. I honestly don't get why people are so mad about this. What did they expect? Some fanfiction where the woman jumps at the mans feet and begs for fogrgiveness? Here at least both characters are treated like they are adults and aren't just bland like in the massive disappointment Ultimate Potential-Man.
Sure. I disliked Paul. What a nothing-burger. Was it Ewing who made him? No, he was just there to deal with the aftermath and he dealt with it the best way he could. People want to dislike Paul? Go ahead, nothing here makes him a better person. People want the relationship and marriage back? Me too, but it's stupid to think it would happen in more+ Like • Comments (1)• Likes (1) -
