it has become apparent that all venom comics are in fact, that gay

I read this specifically for the Venom story I keep hearing about all the time on Tumblr. I'll just say there's no other way to interpret THAT moment between Eddie and the symbiote. Anyway. That was something.
Eddie likes those symbiote tentacles, confirmed.

The Wolverine story was slow, but steady. Didn’t do much for me. The Venom story was interesting and weird. Not quite sure what to make of it, but better than the Wolverine one.
The treasure was the Nightcrawler story. I am assuming it takes place around Excalibur 16 based on costumes. This was the saving grace of the otherwise mundane collection. It tells you more about this world’s Irene Adler and her connection to Kurt. Kurt and Kitty’s friendship wins the day and the original Excalibur lineup makes an appearance. Seeing the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the way it happened, was amazing. Such a treat to see another Crosstime Caper story.

Καλό τεύχος, αλλά δεν πλησιάζει την ποιότητα του προηγούμενου. Η συνέχεια της ιστορίας του Vigil είναι ικανοποιητική, με αρκετά λιγότερη δράση σε σχέση με τα προηγούμενα μέρη, αλλά μια εμφανή συσχέτιση/ανασκόπηση της υπόλοιπης ζωής του Wolverine την υπόλοιπη δεκαετία του '80 που μου άρεσε ιδιαίτερα! Η ιστορία με των Nightcrawler είναι όμορφα σχεδιασμένη, αλλά το σενάριο γίνεται δυσνόητο για εμένα όταν αρχίζει και μιλάει για παράλληλα σύμπαντα προς το τέλος της. Η τρίτη ιστορία με τον Venom είναι επίσης όμορφα σχεδιασμένη αλλά σεναριακά αδιάφορη...

I'm here for the Excalibur homage. Just made me miss the original run more, sadly.

This could have easily been a 1 Star if it weren’t for the Wolverine story. It’s the only one I liked. The Night Crawler story made absolutely no sense and the Venom story was a waste.

The Vigil part-5

[PeachyQ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I find it funny that people were mad about the movies being a "tentacle pr0n fest" when Eddie and Venom literally have s3x right here in the comics
