Venom: Separation Anxiety by David Michelinie
4.0

So we get a few different stories and as always, different levels of bad and good.

So let's start with Venom: The Mace. A super 80's/90's action hero decides to enter Brock's world and they each hunt each other down after trying to stop a gang war. Miscommunication brings them to eventually fight side by side. This story is very cheesy but nothing horrible just decent with some really cool fights.

Next up is Venom Nights of Vengeance. So this has a knockoff Ghost rider and Venom teaming up to take out the trash...which is basically these aliens that come down hunting a agent who venom and ghost rider knockoff are protecting. This one is honestly pretty boring with the exception of some laugh out loud funny moments of two girls fawning over fucking Venom. Like come on bro.

Then we get to actually some good stories. Venom and Ben Riley, the replacement for Peter in the 90's as Spider-man, finally meet head to head. At first they ain't bros, and it goes even worse as they beat the living shit out of each other. Scream comes in half way to be like "Hey bros, I need your help" but they both ignore her to beat the shit out of each other. Eventually Spidy beats Venom and Venom is seperated from venom.

Which leads to the best story. The symbiote and Brock not together. Now Brock must help the other Symbiote users to control theirs but none of them listen while one of them is a killer. This leads to some really fun who done it moments, great fights, cool deaths, and Brock showing he's not such a airhead.

So first two stories are just okay, bit boring, but the following two are pretty good. Some of the better 90's venom. I'll bump this one to a 4 even if it's highest a 3.5.
