Description

so i missed out on who knows how much boy culture through late 70s on, until as an adult i heard of ‘love and rockets’, so looked at some. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

I, of course, started with Birth of Venom, which chronicles Venom's beginnings and his earliest encounters with Spidey. He brought Venom to the Fantastic 4; they put him in a sonic containment cell and shipped him to the Vault. It was fun to read some classic issues of Spider-Man from my youth, though this is one Frankensteined story pulled together from various series, and with various butchered bits from individual issues. The rather old-school of Marvel writing where each character at their introduction must explain their current status got on my nerves quite a lot. And this collection has a giant hole in its center, leaving out Gang Wars, Peter's wedding to Mary Jae, Kraven's Last Hunt, and more.I can't tell, but the sky's blue now and it was pretty dark in contrast when Puma attacked the second time. I will say, and I know this is personal preference, but I just HATE the 80s comic art, which was the last chunk of this collection.

I was surprised how both amusing and threatening was as I expected that before his introduction he was just some rando, unlike a character with some built-up development like Eddie from Spider-Man TAS. There are a lot of dramatic sub plots as well which were too cheesy at times, but also humanised the characters. I also expected that the story of Venom's origin wasn't as straightforward, fluid or even that emotionally investing compared to some other interpretations. We move on to the next issue, where MJ tells Peter all about her tragic past and the Hobgoblin strikes, attacking this guy and demanding 10% of his income.Next issue, Peter tries to resolve the conflict with MJ, but she storms out, and Black Cat comes in. I know this review seems overly negative at first, but at the end of the day, I had my fun with a good chunk of the book, so high two stars. Then Ann appears and begs Venom to stop but then she is about to be crushed by objects because of the previous battle but Venom and Spidey managed to save her.

Stuff like Aunt May's fight with Peter, Black Cat's love/hate relationship with Spidy/Peter and the sudden appearance of Mary Jane and aftermath were pure family drama. The first couple of chapters revolve around Spider-Man running around and fighting crime while showing off his new threads.

Though the editors did their best, don't expect many storylines from the first half of this collection to be resolved on page.

There are many side stories during this time with Peter in love with Black cat then MJ comes back into his life.

I highly recommend Spider-Man: Birth of Venom to those looking for a greatest-hits of the symbiote, spanning from its attachment to Spider-Man all the way up to its bonding with Brock to give us Venom. Anyone who likes an in-depth story with great character development a wonderful cast and a protagonist and antagonist with individuals you can relate with no matter who you are. In the end, this collection does what it says it does, but I still feel they could have done a lot better.
