Cullen Bunn, Iban Coello, and Matt Yackey are clearly on the same page with this "Venomverse" event. Issue #2 focuses on giving us just enough answers to keep the story exciting with a strong script and artwork that makes you want to stay on the page. Read Full Review
Two issues deep, Venomverse's appeal is superficial at best. The series certainly looks snazzy, with the action-heavy approach to this issue making full use of Iban Coello's storytelling skills. But apart from the resurgent Eddie Brock/Peter Parker feud, there's simply no weight to this story. The Venoms are uninspired riffs on familiar characters. Their foes are bland, zombie-esque villains. This crossover needs to show more ambition than it has so far. Read Full Review
I expect more from Cullen Bunn. This series is filled with one dimensional characters with Spider-Man the only standout. Its saving grace is the artwork. I'm not sure where this series is headed but I would like to think there is more story coming. Read Full Review
Eddie fights the new Poison Spider to a "no decision" and then receives the second half of "Venomverse 101." Meanwhile, Venompool has plans … we hope. Iban Coello delivers excellent renditions of some superb designs for Venoms and Poisons, but his art is shortchanged by a strictly-on-the-rails plot and some pro forma characterization. "Pretty but dull" is not how I like my comics, so this ends up no better than an average read to me.
