pickA massive cross-over event that sees the god of the symbiotes invade Earth. Eddie Brock/Venom is forced to reconcile with his place in the world and his role in saving it. Can he be a father to his son and a hero to the world, or is his violent path too much to put behind him? How can he rise to meet the King in Black when mutants and superheroes continue to fall to the void? Excellent storytelling and art.
pickAs the threat of Knull grows, Cletus Kasady's corpse is reanimated by the Carnage symbiote. Lots of in-universe history that I don't have knowledge of, but it didn't really effect my ability to follow and enjoy the story.

This book does a great job of representing the main character‘s cultural background. It has elements of the characters heritage. This allows the book to be relatable to a diverse audience.

While it was good to read a Spidey & Daredevil team-up, it's 3🕸️ for me.
"ANOTHER disappearance into thin air,guys,really? Don't you have any other tricks?"
pickMiles Morales is having a bad day. He is serving in-school suspension for standing up for himself and so distracted by thoughts of bad teachers, fairness and girls that he almost misses the villain sitting near him. The “day in a life” narrative is told with simple exposition punctuated with spare gorgeous poetry. Four ⭐️s for this novel that has Miles take on racism and other critters.
