3 previews.
3 free previews in one "free comic book day" comic. I enjoyed all 3 but, obviously, they were all super short.

The tease for what’s coming in Spider-man 75 looks like it could be dope. The tease for Venom wasn’t done very well. Needed to be a bit more to hook me in. Then the Daredevil bit at the end had me lost.

I miss the days when Marvel would put out original stories for FCBD. Yet more previews for upcoming story lines.

No clue what I read. It was free. One star for it being Marvel and another one for Venom.

Spider-man & Venom(need I say more!?)
Okay, since I haven't read much of these two together in one issue, I thought I would give it a go before watching the new Venom movie. I'd say it was alright — nothing super special but not bad either. I also feel like each one makes them stand out differently and I don't know what was the case here, but I liked Venom more. It was a very quick read and deserves 3 stars, for now.

Ben as Spider-Man again sounds so fitting. I'm excited as hell. Venom new story is interesting. Wonder where it'll go.

The first story Spidey in a new costume entering a hostages situation. What else is new?
A new Venom? What has the King got himself into?
An extra little preview of what is coming Daredevil's way. What has he unleashed now?

Every year I choose a Spider Man FCBD comic, as you can’t go wrong with Spidey! This issue features Ben Reilly as the Scarlet Spider, someone I wasn’t very familiar with, although I know there are more versions beyond Peter and Miles. It was a good introduction to Ben’s story and will give readers time to look up info about him (like I did) before diving into a longer story with him. The second half of the comic was about Venom, Edward Brock, who when bonded with his symbiote is the King in Black. I often get Venom and Carnage mixed up, but Venom is more an anti-hero vs Carnage being a straight-out villain.

Exciting!
I enjoyed all the stories in here! Marvel has some exciting comics coming up in this half of the year! Good writing,good art, and intriguing story ideas!
My only issue Is the abrupt change from the Venom into the Daredevil story, felt like they should have had an actual ending between stories.

Teasing what's to come with Spider-Man and Venom
Spider-Man is headed for a big twist in the next installment, and this comic is an intro to that storyline. It looks like an exciting story.
Venom is also heading for a twist in his storyline, introduced here. I was a little less clear on that one, this preview felt incomplete.

Not that good
Honestly the Spiderman story is the better half of this one. It is free but still the venom story had me partly confused and partly bored.

I like FCBD and how I get to read many short stories and enjoy the art of great artists. This issue has three short tales one about Spider-man but not Peter Parker but Ben Rilley then a small Venom story and then a shocking tale of Jessica Jones and Dare Devil. It was nice.
I have always loved comics, and I hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Where was Venom
When you have Venom on the cover I would expect him to show in the book otherwise don't put it on the cover. Just have Spiderman.

An appetizer
This was, befitting a free gift, just an appetizer, without any meaningful story or vision.
Go for it if you have nothing else to read.

Not a Spidey or Venom fan, but these were decent teases. Not sure what was happening in Venom but it's All Ewing.
The best part were the unexpected Daredevil pages at the end. If you've been reading Zdarsky's DD run, then you'll only get more excited for what's coming in the run up to his exit from the book. If not haven't been reading his, run... get MU so you can catch up!

It's good to be king
Marvel comics freebie for fcbd. Suitable for teens and adults. Good color artwork. The first story introduces this years Spider-Man. The second story deals with kings.

Por ser mi primera vez leyendo un comic de Marvel no logré captar del todo la continuidad de la trama. Por esto mismo no pude conectar con los personajes.
Dejando eso de lado, el dibujo y los colores son increíbles. Esta pequeña edición es muy sencilla y disfrutable.

In Dallas, Texas. Bushwacker has taken captives, and is getting ready to shoot them. But Spider-Man shows up!
Or…we think it’s Spider-Man. Til he takes his mask off. Turns out the Beyond Corporation wants to replace Spider-Man.
Good action. No wasted dialogue.
The Venom/Dylan segment is very meh.
Too much talking.

One of the first comics I've ever read!
I know it was just a sample, however, it was fantastic on both sides of the equation! I'm hoping to read more comics soon!

Spider-man Venom
Great book. Loved the Spider-man/Venom combo of this book. Like the king in black tie in. But what's the Kingpin about.

Quick, Easy Read
I flipped through the panels easily enough. Not really much else to say about this title. I'll be reading more Marvel Comics of course.

Simple pero concreto
Me agradó el dibujado. Es un abre bocas, no esperen una historia compleja. Es free con eso se justifica cualquier cosa
