BACK IN BLACK!
Eddie and Dylan Brock battle over the symbiote - but VENOM has already chosen - his first host - PETER PARKER, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! But this time, Pete and the symbiote are working together. And with MARY JANE, A.K.A. JACKPOT, on his side, SPIDEY might be the one true victor in the VENOM WAR!
Rated T+
All in all, I think this was a lot of fun. Any time Venom and Spidey get together, it's usually a good time, but this felt different with a different dynamic between the two. Spider-Man with his never-ending positivity and Venom in his vulnerable state of mind makes for a very different kind of bond. Venom War: Spider-Man #2 is a great continuation of its predecessor, and I can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review
Another good issue, Venom War: Spider-Man #2 makes me want Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly on Amazing Spider-Man, stat! They understand Peter's quippy and heroic nature while delivering big action moments and good stakes. Read Full Review
Kelly and Lanzing have a really good grasp on Spidey.
Land? That's another story.
Good writing and good art, good drama, interesting plot. Didn't expect this tie-in to be as good as it is. This has been much less about the Venom War than it is about the current state of Peter's relationship with MJ and how he feels about it with the symbiote throwing his inner thoughts in his face. Really good stuff.
Jackpot continues to be the most unnecessary marvel addition
