Venom War #1 is a promising start to the symbiote-filled crossover event with an interesting hook and many beloved characters at play. Read Full Review

Venom War is the rare event series that really builds upon everything that came before it. Not only are all of Venom's hosts over the years acknowledged to a degree, but the many facets of his own characterization in that same time is understood to have been pivotal to reaching this point.

Spider-Man saves Venom War #1 from being too goofy for its own good, but I remain hesitant and cautious as this series has a lot of tropes at work that already feel at odds. Is this a fun fight comic, or something more complex? It's hard to tell what it wants to be right out of the gate. Read Full Review

in a perfect world, Al Ewing would have been the future writer of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.....

It's an itriguing start. A bit odd, but I mostly like this

Peter scenes were gold, Ewing come to ASM please...

Plot
Eddie arrives at a televised wrestling ring to announce that the Venom war begins, he is accompanied by the disembodied symbiotes Bedlam, Tyro and Wilde. Eddie needs his symbiote to return to his body.

The Venom symbiote is hiding and arrives at Peter Parker's house and asks him to join him, because he feels that he has only hurt Dylan and Eddie, he feels sorry for his actions.

On the other hand, Dylan talks to his future self who warns him that what he saw in the future with his father becoming King of KNull is true, Dylan sees his father on TV and decides to go accompanied by Toxin, Flexo, Red Goblin and Sleeper, they face him, Dylan tells his father Eddie that he does not have the symbiote in his body either.

Peter also arrives at the Ring fused with Venom and thus begins the war that will be televised.

Interesting story that seeks to close the Venom saga that began after King of Knull, however it is somewhat complex to catch up with so much information in a single issue, although the comic gives a very complete and detailed summary of Venom's entire life, this iisue has the information but it must be digested carefully.

Art
It is mesmerizing with many details and textures, each page is impressive.

Summary
Eddie and Dylan need to join Venom again to stop a global catastrophe, however Venom does not want to join them and joins Spider-man. more

Kind of stupid with the whole wrestling thing, but really liked the flashbacks of Venom and the Peter Parker parts.
