Venom By Rick Remender - Volume 1 by Tom Fowler, Rick Remender, Tony Moore
5.0
This was so great. This whole story just seemed to flow from beginning to end, with a feeling of inevitability. That’s good writing. It was a nice balance between action and introspection, and ending this book with the family trouble was just as interesting as the superhero stuff. I also like how Remender kept the patented Spider-Man difficulty of juggling a personal life with the superhero gig; it’s cool how that translates and ties the two characters together thematically.
Flash’s specific problems are different from Peter’s, being on-call as a secret symbiote commando, trying to remain sober after losing his legs in combat, but the end result is the same. I definitely need to read this whole arc, right up to the point where it almost certainly goes off the rails with yet another Marvel mandated company-wide crossover event. Hopefully he gets a dozen issues in before that happens.
