This probably wasn't the best run to start with as my first ever Venom series since it’s quite based on things that happened previously. However I think what happened before is made pretty clear, so it’s not a big deal. I thought it was really fun and I’m excited to pick up the next volume to see where it’s headed!
The colouring really stood out to me: during alarms everything was RED, in the night everything was some type of blue and etc. I felt like each page kept to a consistent colour which made it seem really put together.
Favourite issue
#3 brought up a lot of interesting thoughts about Venom, both as itself and in relation to Eddie. The symbiote as something that is Made to be violent thrusted into a guardian role and having to deal with it... Quite yummy.
#5 was very satisfying because it answered a lot of the questions I had, and I liked the new characters.
Favourite cover
I though all the covers were cool, excluding #5 which I wasn't really a fan of, but on seeing #3 I instantly went 'wow that's SICK' so it gets top spot.
Favourite alt cover
#1 by Peach Momoko contains Shape which I am weak to.
