pickVenom was an early childhood favorite character of mine. My older brother was a Spider-Man fan, and he told me I looked like Venom with my braces (?), so I flipped it and became a fan 😅 This collection of Donny Cates' run introduces Knull and creates a lot of backstory for the symbiotes, while exploring the relationship between Eddie and Venom. Seems like a major source for the recent movies.
pickA big, bold blast of epic action. Less madcap invention than, say, Cosmic Ghost Rider, but Cates clearly gets the appeal of characters like this, enough to draw in even people who never particularly cared for them before, like me. Space dragons, evil gods, and solid fantasy action art overcome some slight characterization on Eddie, the main character, and set up an interesting new status quo.
Happy new #comics day everyone. From the big 2 this week:
Wonder Woman was a total cover buy. 😍
Hawkman penultimate issue for the first story arc.
X-Men Black Mojo one-shot.
Venom is my favorite (current) Marvel book right now. At least until Uncanny X-Men and Conan The Barbarian start up. 🤞

Detective Comics was a cover buy. 😍
The Terrifics starts 2nd story arc.
Justice League Dark is, so far, friggen awesome.
Mystery in Madipoor is a hunt for Wolverine tie in and was kinda a waste of time. Glad it's done.

I've never been that big a fan of Venom in the past, but because Donny Cates was writing this I decided to give it a peek. He's doing some crazy stuff with the origins of our symbiot and Ryan Stegman is drawing some spectacular pictures for it! 👍
I mean...look at this panel from issue 3 that came out last week!
A symbiot dragon! 😱
Oh my. Yes please! 🤩
