carlitos95 's review for:
Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1
by Donny Cates
It's crazy how much story Donny Cates can pack into a short book. With only the first 12 issues of his Venom run, this book is shorter than his monstrously entertaining Thanos, but it's equally entertaining and monstrous.
Cates gives us a layered, surprisingly complex psychological thriller with Eddie Brock struggling with PTSD, anxiety and depression and Venom (his "other" or "shadow") acting as a metaphor for all those things. This is exactly the kind of Venom story I wanted to read for my first venture into the character's solo books, so I'm not sure if that influenced my rating but I don't care. This is precisely my cup of tea.
Elements of horror, dark Lovecraftian fantasy and psychological exploration of character through past trauma and family drama raises this book to a whole other level I really didn't expect.
