Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1
Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1 | Donny Cates
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
In the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s collapse, an ancient and primordial evil has been awakened beneath the streets of New York. And with it, something equally evil has been awakened in that most wicked of web-slingers: Venom! The symbiote may still be a Lethal Protector of innocents in New York, but this never-before-seen threat could possibly force Venom to relinquish everything it holds dear - including its human host, Eddie Brock! Two of the hottest creators in comics today, Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, join forces to deliver a Venom adventure a thousand years in the making! COLLECTING: VENOM (2018) 1-6

A big, bold blast of epic action. Less madcap invention than, say, Cosmic Ghost Rider, but Cates clearly gets the appeal of characters like this, enough to draw in even people who never particularly cared for them before, like me. Space dragons, evil gods, and solid fantasy action art overcome some slight characterization on Eddie, the main character, and set up an interesting new status quo.

Happy new #comics day everyone. From the big 2 this week:

Wonder Woman was a total cover buy. 😍

Hawkman penultimate issue for the first story arc.

X-Men Black Mojo one-shot.

Venom is my favorite (current) Marvel book right now. At least until Uncanny X-Men and Conan The Barbarian start up. 🤞

JoRead Have you seen the new Venom movie yet? Not a fan of the character but the movie seems fun 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @JoRead I have not. I'm going to wait for the home digital release. I'm not a big fan of the character either, which is why I'm so surprised that I like this limited series so much. I'm a big fan of the writer so I suppose that has a lot to do with it. 6y
JoRead @GrilledCheeseSamurai I hear you. And I totally agree with you about that WW cover 😍😍 6y

Happy new #comics day everyone. From the big 2 this week:

Avengers ends its 1st story arc!

Old Man Hawkeye is still old.

X-Men Red starts its 2nd story arc.

Venom...prolly my favorite title from marvel right now.

Detective Comics was a cover buy. 😍

The Terrifics starts 2nd story arc.

Justice League Dark is, so far, friggen awesome.

Mystery in Madipoor is a hunt for Wolverine tie in and was kinda a waste of time. Glad it's done.

Texreader This is great! Thanks! My 10th grade daughter has gotten back into comics (we r Marvel fans) so I‘ll share your recommendations with her 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Texreader That's awesome. The Avengers, Venom, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Thor, and the brand new Fantastic Four are my favorite titles (and probably hottest selling) from Marvel right now. All are fairy new up and running series too. Easy to catch up. If you or your Daughter are into X-Men, Uncanny X-Men is starting back up in a few months. as well. 👍 6y
Texreader She loves x-men. And ghost rider. Sounds like another trip to the comic shop 6y

I've never been that big a fan of Venom in the past, but because Donny Cates was writing this I decided to give it a peek. He's doing some crazy stuff with the origins of our symbiot and Ryan Stegman is drawing some spectacular pictures for it! 👍

I mean...look at this panel from issue 3 that came out last week!

A symbiot dragon! 😱

Oh my. Yes please! 🤩
