12th post this block before hitting a regular monthly Spider-Man title. What a horrible cover! They didn’t waste much time bringing “Blood Rose” back. And now we’re all caught up on Rose…
Month: July 2023
Venom 6
Probably not! A big thing happened in ASM 375 that I don’t think I talked about, but which I noted, maybe for the first time. Bagley was more or less drawing Todd…
Venom 5
I mean, probably. This month, Ron Lim is still doing breakdowns, but Sam De La Rosa is doing finishes alone. Really wonder about how and why this book was staffed. On the…
Venom 4
Ah, yes, just what we needed, more symbiotes. Didn’t this one already show up in a later comic around here? Yeah, Spider-Man 52, Web 119, Spider-Man 53. So here’s where she came…
Venom 3
Same team at work going into part 3, which opens with The Jury putting a beating on Venom on the opening splash. Screech. Like Saved by the Bell. I do like them…
Venom 2
Same team as last issue. Venom’s greatest enemies! And also, only enemies! Gotta start somewhere, I guess. We pick up just where we left off. I mean, if you like in the…

Chaos In Calgary
Spider-Man’s Canadian tour comes to a close in what looks like it’s gonna be a pretty weird one. I read somewheres that this 4th issue was added later, that the original project…
Hit & Run
Behind that Jim Craig cover are Jim Craig interiors. That makes sense! Also Don Hudson teams up with Chris Ivy for inks and Ed Lazellari colors. Dwayne McDuffie hangs on as writer,…
Double Trouble
Behind that slick Dave Hoover cover lurks… Herb Trimpe. I thought I’d seen the last of him. The rest of the team from last issue hangs on, but Alex musta been too…
