Reviews

[James DeSantis · Rating 2 out of 5]

This volume failed to be as fun as the first. While the start of it was actually solid and I REALLY enjoyed the team up with Peter, Ben, and Eddie facing off against symbiots, the later half fell into the 90's dark hole of garbage storylines. So bad and over the top you can hardly remember a single character. Eddie becoming a over the top muscle head warrior was stupid IMO, and they dropped all the storylines of romance to give you this garbage, which added nothing to the character. Then Peter and Eddie face off one last time at the end and it goes as you'd expect.

I'm happy to move out of the 90's after this for poor venom. It did not help him in the later half.

A 2 out of 5.
