james_desantis 's review for:
Venomnibus Vol. 1
by David Michelinie
Okay this is a huge book so if want my breakdown you can read my reviews on the Mini-series which I posted reviews for each of these stories.
This is 90's to the max. You have big hulking Brock going around the city talking like a weirdo saying "We will save the innocent people" while looking like he gonna eat you up. You have villains from knockoff Ghost riders, DemoGoblin which is similar to HobGoblin, you have The Mace User, who is just the guy from Predator. So in other words if you think big, lots of chains, huge guns, and 90's to the max, that is all the villains and most heroes in this comic.
The interesting thing is Venom never really had a ongoing series till much later. Now most of these Mini-series are like a month or two after each other. So in a sense he did have a ongoing but it probably sold more to do mini-series. Not a bad idea. And of course it ranges from decent fun stories, to over the top silly, to downright bad.
The best stories actually usually involve Spider-Man. Peter or Ben Riley, either one, both stories were solid. I also enjoyed the story focused on Venom dealing with his symbiote and the other people who are effected by them.
Best stories to read: Venom: The enemy Within, Incredible Hulk vs Venom, web of Spider-man, Venom Separation Anxiety (best one) and Venom Lethal Protector for the sake of getting to know the real venom.
Skip: Venom Carnage Unleashed (So stupid), Venom and SIlver Stable and the wild pack, and DarkHawk crossover as well as Nightwatch (The worst one of the bunch)
Overall I don't know if I can really give this a 4. On an enjoyment, and laughing at the stupidity of it all, it's a 4. But the actual content isn't really that. So I'll settle with a 3.
