Venom #1 is just about everything you could hope for in a first issue. Fans of the classic series will be glad to see Eddie and his other together again. Yet this issue is also easily accessible to newcomers or those who hadn’t picked the book up in a while. Read Full Review

Oct 16, 2026The All-New era is officially over as ‘Venom’ takes things back to basics, albeit with some potentially intriguing twists. Perfectly moody, dynamic, and kinetic artwork gives the symbiotic vigilante a larger than life and really eerie appearance befitting the typical form that they take. Read Full Review

I liked it, but Eddie felt much more aggressive here, than he did before. I didn't really get why. Art was good

If you read Eddie as Carnage during that awful Spiderman Death spiral event then you'll think like I did , who the hell is this Eddie Brock? how is he out of Jail. why is he so Feral and angry. Didnt venom renounced him 20 times with it was with MJ? hand wave it away thats modern Marvel. its fine because this is the current state of Marvel comics. this issue really just establishes Eddie in his new /old role. same old same old but with more edge because why not. its ok. good art. ill be curious to see where this goes. overall. not bad if you just accept it for what it is, not why it makes no sense.

The art was good, the story was fine but nothing special. This is more of a “wait for it to hit Marvel Unlimited” book than a monthly pull.
