So I am 29 and I have only been reading comics for about  year. With any new reader, finding a jumping on point is always tricky. So with the addition of the .1 system, I was excited to see how well it worked. Now I have been reading ASM since the Grim Hunt and I was intrigued how much information we would receive in a .1 issue. As for this issue, I was slightly disappointment that they didn’t cover more information about Peter’s current state of affairs. It felt more like an after thought. They should of just titled this issue Venom #1. That being said…I really enjoyed this issue. I loved the artwork and the plot line. It feels like Spider-man meets Charles Bartowski. Then when he loses control and you see the alien coming through. It was great. Can wait for the Venom series.
