Spider-man: the Venom factor | Diane Duane
5 posts | 1 read
In a Manhattan warehouse, an innocent man has been murdered during a mysterious crime. Evidence points to the involvement of Venom - the alien symbiote who is obsessed with Spider-Man's destruction. Yet Venom has always safeguarded innocent lives. Has Venom gone completely around the bend, or is there another suspect? Spider-Man thinks there is more to the crime than meets the eye. The spectre of the Hobgoblin, one of Spider-Man's nastiest villains, falls on a series of thefts, and leads the web-slinger to a deadly secret that may cause New York's destruction. Spider-Man must outsmart two of his deadliest enemies to save the city - but even more danger awaits him! Diane Duane, the New York Times best-selling author, launches an epic trio of Spider-Man novels with The Venom Factor; featuring all-new illustrations by popular comics artist Ron Lim.

Mehso-so

71/150 A rather lackluster and disappointing finale to the Spider-Man trilogy. I knew I was in trouble when I saw the pages left and know the story was going to get resolved in the last 20 pages. The ending was too hasty, the heroes got lucky finding just the right clues, and Doc Ock's plan, that he'd been meticulously working on for months, fell apart quickly. While the superhero part was kind of meh, the author did a great job...⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 with the Peter & MJ relationship. They faced problems like regular couples, unable to pay bills, lack of employment, worrying for each other's safety, in a realistic way, even when you know one of them goes swinging around on a web every night. 3.25/5 1y

68/150 The second book of the Spider-Man trilogy. Peter is in Florida to cover the Space Shuttle launch, and as Spider-Man search for his friend Curt Connors aka the Lizard. Terrorist plot to blow up the Shuttle, and of course Venom comes to make things more difficult. Not a bad story, but the Lizard is barely in it, so I don't get the book title. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2
This book is not in Litsy's database

62/150 Except for the fact I wanted more Venom in the story, his name is in the title after all, this is an enjoyable if a bit average comic book adventure. Spider-Man has to battle the Hobgoblin, while searching for a monster running around the sewers that may or may not be Venom. I like Duane's writing style, she captured the Peter/MJ romance perfectly, and her action scenes had that comic book feel without the visuals. Continued ⬇️⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 This is the first part of a trilogy, but it ends in such a way as it could be read as a stand alone. For some reason, Litsy's database lists this simply as Spider-Man, and the other two volumes of the trilogy are not there at all. 1y

First it was The Constant Rabbit, and now here I find another reference to The Court Jester. I think it's the Universe's way of telling me it's time to rewatch this classic movie. #TheCourtJester #DannyKaye

Ruthiella Agree. The universe is speaking to you! 1y

It was very cold three hundred feet down, very dark; but not very quiet.
