Venom Vol. 6: King in Black
by Donny Cates
The end of Cates Venom run is here!
If you read King in Black this portion will make a lot of sense. If you didn't or aren't, this feels very jumbled. The structure of what is happening to Eddie on a personal level is pretty great but to get the full picture of what is happening you need the event, which makes this book a weird tie in. Where's it mostly worked in his adventures during Absoulte carnage, here it mostly relies on you reading the event.
Saying that the story itself was interesting and fun. The very last issue is the cap to Cates run and two major events and works well to set up a lot of new and interesting ideas. I love Dylan as a character and eager to see where we go with him but also Venom and also my boy Thompson. We have so many threads happening and each one is interesting.
Overall really enjoyed Cates time on venom, probably my second favorite run behind Remender's run. A 4 out of 5.
