This one opens with humans being herded by things which are\u2026 centaurs with horse heads? Is that a thing in Conan\/Red Sonja? I don\u2019t know. One of those people is Eddie Brock, who suddenly senses he\u2019s close to \u201chis dark twin\u201d again. He then sees Spider-Man, now stuck in some kinda magic tree thing, but in the X-crucification position he was in in MTU 79<\/a>, and Gath is babbling. Spidey says he\u2019ll never find Sonja, but he knows she\u2019s gotten out of his spell, and simply extends it. How easy! She\u2019s recovering from the shock of being shot as the energy wall comes at her. Also, she has no visible wound. None!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaaaand, we\u2019re back. This series really is basically just padding MTU 79 out into 5 issues. A real wasted opportunity if you asked me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spidey really nailed him on the speech thing, though. Well, Robbie and JJJ are about to mount an attack. How JJJ stopped being Gath\u2019s lackey and\/or whether they even know each other anymore isn\u2019t explained. But Eddie Brock then lunges into frame to start calling his other to him, and it wants to go, fighting Gath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break free of the X\u2019s, check. Sonja was shot in the shoulder. She has blood on her leg. Now she suddenly seems to have, like, a bruise on her chest. And still no shoulder wound. Fight fight fight, energy blast, Robbie\u2019s brigade moves in, Eddie retrieves his symbiote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool how Spider-Man contributed nothing to that take down. It\u2019s not terribly obvious, but Sonja is somehow breaking his amulet there without hurting him. Sure! From that position? Falling out of the sky (And not being hurt as usual?)? Sure. That sets off a big blue chain reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, whatever. I really wonder if Oeming ever read a comic with Venom in it, by this point. JJJ & Robbie wake up in the Bugle, not sure what just happened, but Jonah is sure it was Spider-Man\u2019s fault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there it is. Man, it\u2019s really crazy that the original comic is so, so much better. Better art, better story, better everything. What a miss. What a mess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
