  1. I really hope this book bounces back from the abysmal Spider-Island tie-ins.

    • Actually I really liked the tie-ins. While I was confused about the Spider-Island portions of it, the subplot dealing with his father were well worth it.

    • This book had the best tie-ins of Spider Island! I have yet to dislike a single issue for this series.

    • I liked the tie-ins.

    • I wasn’t reading Amazing so for me it just dragged this book down. The first issue of the crossover was God-awful to me, especially since I felt the book was just starting to find it’s footing. It felt like an unnecessary diversion.

    • Stories aren’t clean and nice in real life, so why should they be that way for comics? If an emergency happens, of course a supe will drop things to help out. Just makes sense.
      Though I will admit that I hate it when cliffhangers straddle books like in Venom 8. They can frolic in each others gardens all they want, but editors should keep things at least mostly insular from book to book.

    • Probably the best example of a tie-in not ruining a book I can think of.

  2. SICK COVER!!!

    also ya bro you’re crazy. This book had the best spider island tie ins.

  3. I’m not reading the series but that’s a nice cover.

  4. I know this book won’t fill the hole left in my heart now that Remender’s Fear Agent is over, but Flash’s alcoholism and daddy issues will at least numb the pain.

  5. How can I say no to that cover?

  6. I love this title. One of my favorites, and it only benefitted from the SI tie-ins, as far as I’m concerned.

  7. this issue left me all warm and fuzzy. The REAL Venom is coming back baby!

  8. Warm and fuzzy?? I think I need to change my pants because this issue was so good! Wasn’t happy with Spider Island as a whole but this was a decent tie-in. Looks like Brock might be getting jealous here soon…
