Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1 Hardcover – 19 Nov. 2019

Absolutely loving these OHC (Oversized Hardcovers) the brilliant minds over at Marvel are producing! And this most recent run of Venom is well deserving of this treatment!The Story:Personally, I haven't kept up with Venom in recent times, but did that affect my enjoyment with this book? Not at all! Not even with all the twists and turns and new developments that happened. It's mainly a self contained story with a hint of references to other series' which do make this story that tad more enjoyable, but aren't necessary to know to get a whole lot of enjoyment out of these 12 issues. Tonaly, the story is definitely on the darker side (also how I like my toast), but this is a great segue into....The Art:Dark and gorgeous and dark! Having so many dark tones every page made it difficult to turn the pages without leaving fingerprints. This only added to the suspense of turning the pages imo. Plus you're going to want to preserve the art because like I said, it's gorgeous! Lots of dark reds, blues and blacks. They all contrast so well together! And if you appreciate composition like I do, you'll get a lot out of the genuinely genius ways the panels are set up. Just oozing and dripping with creativity!The Verdict:It's a fantastic jumping on point for Venom with 2 thoroughly entertaining arcs! And with each issue leaving you with an urge for more, you'll get through this book fairly quickly. But that'll just give you a chance to re-read it, it's that good ;)

Bought as a gift but I chose it because of the incredible artwork on the cover, a winged Venom. The recipient was very happy and said the story was great.

Really good fist two volumes. Can’t wait to read the rest

The artwork is really cool.

Crazy run so far! Cates and co add whole new mythos to the Klyntar. Venom is the lethal protector, but who will protect him?

Good horror series. A nice change of pace from hero and villain stories. The bond between Eddie and his other is explored in great length, adding new layers to the character of Venom.
