Well, we’re back for more of this. Spider-Man and Doc Samson spend 3 pages dodging Hulk and recapping that ends with Samson trying to put Hulk in a chokehold and being thrown…

ASM 381
I passed on this 2-parter. I believe the thought was essentially, “It’s Hulk, who cares?” Never been a big fan. After Maximum Carnage, probably happy to save the $2.50. Not a great…
ASM 380
Venom and his pals! Spider-Man who? This feels like someone was like “Kids like Venom & Carnage, we have to make sure their names are on the cover.” “But… but they are,…

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…
