While I enjoyed the first volume, this one seemed to drag on. I guess since I read these comics for Venom the symbiote and not the person, this one was a little lame in that department. Stupid secret Avengers doping up the symbiote. Boring. Plus the beginning arc with Hell in Las Vegas went on for way too long. Sigh, oh well. Maybe I'll turn to the older Venom comics for wicked, symbiote, antics.
