Personally, I loved everything about this comic. It felt like an old school Spider-Man story, along with new modernized aspects such as a certain new hero assisting Peter and Venom. I really loved the dialogue between Venom and Peter, showing how truly different they are and why Peter is right in not wanting to bond with Venom. The Venom War event has been excitement after excitement and this comic was no different. I look forward to seeing what's next! Read Full Review

Really good tie-in, the highlight was all the dialog between Peter and the symbiote. The antagonist situation was meh, but it was just dressing to give the internal interactions a reason to happen. The symbiote's observations about Peter's happiness and MJ and everything were well done, as well as the symbiote's uncertain intentions. It mostly seemed harmless, but the ending left open the possibility that the symbiote was manipulating the situation all along in order to force a bond, or at least playing nice while waiting for the opportunity to pounce and force a bond.

The art was typical Greg Land very good quality as well, especially Hobgoblin and MJ. This book might be the most interesting aspect of Venom War for me, it would actually be really interesting if the original symbiote stay with Peter for a while, but it doesn't seem like this event will be impacting the main Spiderman continuity so I doubt that happens. more
