Venom: The Enemy Within
by Tom Lyle, Carl Potts, Kelley Jones, Jim Craig, Peter David, Bruce Jones, Bob McLeod, Ann Nocenti
This was...something lol.
I'm reading the Venom Omnibus volume 1 and breaking down these stories as I go through so easier to do a big review at the end of the entire Omnibus.
The first story - Funeral Pyre - Is fucking insane. You got Punisher just shooting up hoodlums and being the Punisher. Venom like "No bro, I gotta save one of them." then that one becomes a creature known as Funeral Pyre (Gotta love the name) and...man is this the most 90's comic eveR? So weird. I couldn't look away.
Second story, Venom Madness, is super Rapey and weird. Basically venom fights Jugs, Jugs whoops his ass. Venom meets a virus type creature in sewer, becomes friends, tries to rape his gf, and then Juggs beats him again. Then Venom takes full control and then...lets the little thing go. SO weird...so fucking weird. I love it.
Final story is Venom Enemy Within, which is by Bruce Jones. I really enjoyed Bruce Jones on Hulk run and I was pretty excited to read this. This was not the hulk lol. So do got some cool stuff going on. Little Goblins running around the city killing people. Got Morbius dumb vampire ass working with Venom. Got this guy, Demogoblin, never heard of him until now, basically a knockoff green goblin but pretty fun. And then he turns into godzilla size and Venom and Moribus team up.
Then finish this with a one shot of Hulk and Venom fighting/teaming up. This issue is actually legit funny and enjoyable.
Overall, some stupid shit, but it's oh so fun of the 90's. A 3 out of 5.
