May 26, 2012 11:59 pm I do not like Spidey's armor suit in this arc. It's not one of his new outfits that express his personality or powers the way some of his others have.

May 26, 2012 11:28 pm I'll join in on pillorying of this issue. My big problem with it is that it's a blatant rip-off of the film Fantastic Voyage (as CaseyJustice mentioned above). I'd even venture to guess that there's an actionable lawsuit for copyright infringement because the plot & details are that close. I don't expect this from someone with the reputation for creativity that Hickman has and I don't expect Marvel's editors to let something this plagiaristic and lazy to slip by them. Shame on you all.

May 20, 2012 12:50 pm I like this series, but not as much as I was hoping for. This issue in particular was a bit of a lukewarm finale to the first arc. The generally excellent rendering by Guice seems to have been slightly blunted by the inking on this issue. Maybe the art was rushed to deadline? Whatever the reason, the chance to feature Dr. Doom fighting a Gorilla was mostly wasted. A few cursory panels and we're on to Bucky chasing down other villains. I'm still interested enough to check out the next arc, so lets see where we go from here.

May 17, 2012 1:09 am OK, now that we've got that tie-in issue out of the way, I'm ready for some outer space sci fi action featuring lots of face time for Kori.

May 14, 2012 2:43 pm I've noticed a distinct lack of the monster side of the symbiote in the current version of Venom and I'm beginning to feel a bit restless about it. Flash now refers to the symbiote as "the suit." I see him jumping around in a black combat outfit that only resembles Venom in that it has the white spider logo on it. He hardly uses any of the typical Venom powers either. I like Flash and I thought it was a good choice for him to be the next Venom, but if he's straightjacketed into a typical hero good guy role, then that's not the Venom I want. Venom needs to be gooey, slimy, slurpy, and tongue-lolling. Flash needs to lose control so we can see the monster take over and do the dirty work that needs to be done. This was happening in Remender's first arc, but seems to have been shoved aside with the fact that he was only supposed to be able to assume the symbiote a finite amount of times. Cullen Bunn, I know you like horror, please bring back some monster elements to the symbiote. It's a classic Jekyll & Hyde situation after all.

May 14, 2012 2:31 pm Last issue was so great! A Silent Issue, it reminded me of how much I love this series. I worry a little bit that Bunn's new duties writing at Marvel might detract from his work on SG, but so far so good. More people should be reading this!

May 14, 2012 2:21 pm Agreed. As much as I love Cloonan, I'm excited to see Harren alternating on art.

May 14, 2012 2:17 pm I started reading when the time travelling arc began. I enjoyed it in spite of the fact that I didn't know the characters. That said, I'm dropping it after this finale since I want nothing to do with the characters I see in the re-boot.
