I guess I'm just having a hard time dealing with how easy Spider-Man was beaten by Tombstone. Unless they are going to explain a big strength upgrade I don't get it. Spider-Man would be dead by now if Tombstone who is much weaker beats him by putting him in a bear hug. The rest of the story can do whatever it wants, but it doesn't work for me knowing him getting beaten so easily doesn't really make any sense. How has he survived against so many more dangerous villains yet fucking Tombstone does a WWE move on him and actually beats him with it. Give Spider-Man the respect he fucking deserves! more

I don't know what comic those critics read but it wasn't this one! I was enjoying spiderman a lot until Beyond didn't stick the landing but then it just got so much worse.

The arts okay. Not really to my liking but I've seen enough John Romita Jr to be okay with it.

There's just nothing to like here, story wise. For me, reading comics is at its best when the characters are fun, interesting and inspiring. Ya know, super heroes. There's none of that left here. It even reads like spiderman goes after tombstone, not because he wants to stop him from doing something bad but because this (fake) Peter is so self absorbed with feeling personally threatened by Tombstone that he goes after him. Then loses in a one on one fight... With Tombstone?

It's bad plotting. It's bad character writing. more

On the one hand, each issue I love the concepts. On the other hand, keeping track of who is who, what gender they are, and what their sexuality is keeps me from fully understanding what I’m reading. I think the art makes it confusing along with so many of them seemingly LGBTQ+. It’s a lot to keep track of and I’m not doing that great. (That is not meant to imply in any way that the LGBTQ+ concepts shouldn’t be part of this, but simply that I get lost.) more

Everything was good but I wish they didn't go with him being a high school student. It feels too Power rangerish.

Seeing kid Jon was great, and I like Dick in the mentor role, but this issue was really Jon focused, assumes readers are reading his book, and nothing really happens other than what seems like a red herring at the end.

Now, I don't just want a bunch of info dump about another book, but the Truth isn't introduced well. What is it, and why is Dick investing? How does it fit in with his safety net plan? How does he even know about it? Also, isn't Jon only 17? Is he living with/dating some dude in his mid-20s?

These are questions I think should have been addressed here for context, but honestly I don't care enough to go find out (other than the age thing because that really bothers me). I'm not currently reading Jon's book, and this issue did nothing to change my mind. I'm debating even picking up the crossover. more

I know they are trying to turn qira and crimson dawn into this powerful group that moves behind the shadows but it just doesn't really work. They are trying to cram a story and make it feel important while setting it in between the small window between episode 5 and 6. Qira is no threat to the empire and by trying to make qira into too big of a player is hurting this story tremendously. I like her character and ochi has turned into one of my favorite marvel star wars comics characters but they need to stop adding too many things to finished plots. We all know what happened in the original trilogy. Marvel has no idea how to handle the star wars universe or they just aren't allowed to do anything original. more

This book has quickly gone from “first comic of the week I read” to “meh.” And in all fairness, I gave it a shot. We’re four issues in. It’s not horrible, it’s just kinda boring. If you’re going to switch the focus from Eddie to Dylan, make a compelling case why. So far, that’s not been done.

I still can't get into Ram V's writing, as much as I try and I really am trying. I love Venom and I am even warming up to Dylan, but Ram V just makes every book he writes very decompressed and boring. He takes a nice concept and manages to make it dull. I really hope next issue Ewing pushes this book in some exciting territory because I'm not feeling this at all.

This series is one of the few that I still buy, even though in some strange way Eddie seems to be still trapped in the symbiote, that makes him much more protective of his son. Idea that I love.

I feel that this number was not about big things, but it is preparing us for a bigger stage. The art is impeccable, which I love, and if you ask me, good art and color is one of the advantages that comics have over manga, however, the story is decisive, at least for me, for an issue or series to be good. more

Some of this felt a bit rushed, but overall im loving the psychological thriller aspects of this story, can't wait for the next issue!

Great book! There are all sorts of things going on in this one that continue to set up a large and excited story. I'm loving the direction the venom book continues to go and can't wait for the next issue

Regardless of the bad jokes and stupid things where rich people make him sick, surely out of envy. Taylor has time and time again transformed Dick into a damsel in distress, all frail. I miss the independent Nightwing, strong, not now she is just a babe, a MarySue who needs to be rescued over and over again by all the layers on earth. But this is the Nightwing they want now, weak, in a horrible mood and with little logic, that's not counting the nefarious new sister. more

When did Kang turn into such a whiny baby?

This was a waste of time. This was pure filler.

This series is all over the place. Too many sub plots that drag on and too many characters. It's really good sometimes but then it is hard to even get through the issue other times.
