Spider-Man: Birth of Venom (Graphic Novel)

Product Information

Anyway, Spider-Man freaks out and crushes Venom under a few machines and swings out, accidentally leaving his change of address forms behind.

The symbiote is the main focus here, but the book also gives the spotlight to the villains Kingpin, the Hobgoblin, the Rose, and Jack O'Lantern.

As a result, nearly without fail, every new issue contained an in-story summary of the last issue's events.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.I highly recommend Spider-Man: Birth of Venom to those looking for a greatest-hits of the symbiote, spanning from its attachment to Spider-Man all the way up to its bonding with Brock to give us Venom. The way Spider-Man talks to people generally don't talk like that which makes him hard to relate to and see as human. Spidy isolates the symbiote and places it in Baxter building for safekeeping, but it gets out and binds itself again with Peter.

That's not a knock on the graphic novel, but more so on the quality of comic writing that created Venom in the first place. There are a lot of dramatic sub plots as well which were too cheesy at times, but also humanised the characters. The rather old-school of Marvel writing where each character at their introduction must explain their current status got on my nerves quite a lot. The first 200 pages can be summed up as Spider-Man costume feeling weird when he wears it or Spider-Man's costume doing something weird when he does not wear it.Brock directs the symbiote to imitate a gaurd's uniform and plays dead Some dumb-ass gaurd thinks he's a fallen colleage and turns off the noise blasts and Venom kills him and escapes to NY. Because when Spidey manages to get the symbiote off of himself in the church, he then starts dying from the bells (I guess?
