I definitely expected more out of this than what it gave. First, the positives: the art was acceptable and all the different fan favorite heroes making appearances was cool. That's about all I got. The writing was really bad. I usually appreciate fan service, but it has to be done well. This book was largely just fan service moments in a chain and they were shallow, corny and sounded like pre more

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the "Black, White and Blood" and similar books. Sometimes they're decent, more often than not they're just bad stories that aren't good enough to be given the full treatment so they use a gimmick to try to get the most out of them. That wasn't the case with this one. All three of the stories were great, but especially the middle one. It's not often that Venom and more

This is a weird book. I love the characters and the art is solid, but I can't really decide whether I'm enjoying this story. It might be the kind of story that comes together at the end to be better than the sum of its parts, I'm going to see the ride through regardless.

Solid book, my expectations are never high for these off-shoot character books and this one exceeded those expectations a little bit. The writing was good and the art was solid. I enjoyed the world building and picking up the pieces after the events of the last series.

Good issue, it was a quick read. Probably because A) it was well written and interesting and B) not a lot happened. I'm still not loving the "Eddie as Carnage" gimmick, but it's working about as well as it can in my opinion. The "picking a candidate to kill" trope isn't fresh, but it was moderately entertaining here.
