pickReally good introduction to Spider-Gwen. And really, really good art.
pickAs the threat of Knull grows, Cletus Kasady's corpse is reanimated by the Carnage symbiote. Lots of in-universe history that I don't have knowledge of, but it didn't really effect my ability to follow and enjoy the story. The tie-ins with the Venom comic were a little more integral, so I switched back and forth between this and Venom Vol. 3.
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.
This book does a great job of representing the main character‘s cultural background. It has elements of the characters heritage. This allows the book to be relatable to a diverse audience.
so-sothis book is a thrilling action packed story that has moments of self discovery!
pick"Soul of the Hunter" is a sequel to this creative team's lauded story arc, "Kraven's Last Hunt", in which Kraven takes Spidey down and buries him alive for two weeks, proving to himself, at least, that he is superior and, having nothing left to prove, kills himself.
In this GN, DeMatteis shows a newly-married Peter Parker dealing with PTSE following this ordeal, haunted by terrifying visions of the dead Kraven, retraumatised by memories of his ⬇️
so-so“Spider-Man/Kingpin: To the Death“ sounds good on paper, being a reunion of Stan Lee and John Romita, and while JR's pencils were still classic and clean, Stan's schtick felt hokey and stale. The story was plotted by Tom DeFalco, and was okay, if nothing startlingly original.
While it was good to read a Spidey & Daredevil team-up, it's 3🕸️ for me.
"ANOTHER disappearance into thin air,guys,really? Don't you have any other tricks?"
