Two stories in one, one pretty shitty one pretty fun.
Carnage unleashed kind of sucks, I reviewed it in my Omnibus review of Venom. It's basically Carnage getting out of prison and murdering people because he wants to promote his new video game. Pretty shitty. The second story is Venom dealing with Sin Eater copy cat, a much more interesting story with some cool moments of Brock trying to be his own man and not use the venom symbiote. Also we get to see a more mature Brock for once too.
Overall, second story is a lot of fun. First story is pretty shitty. So a 3 out of 5.

Was a cool issue getting to see Jon with the Justice League. I really enjoyed those moments and the moment at the end where Jon let this new villain know what's up but rushing in? Not so smart. Things will get interesting from here on out.
Okay I must confess, I'm having a blast with these 90's venom stories.
This one just has Peter, Ben, and Eddie all teaming up together. Right there that got me excited. Throw in the over the top Macho art of Peter looking like massive body builder, Venom looking more and more like the hulk, and Ben Riley's ass so nicely shaped you'd think the artist was getting paid by the cheeks, and you got a amazing story of the three of them traveling to the planet of the symbiots to try and stop an invasion.
The story actually took a surprise for me and felt very much like a Aliens storyline. Filled with a lot of funny moments, cool fights, and stakes I didn't see coming. The only thing I didn't like was carnage at the end...who thought that was a good idea?
Anyway, super fun and cheesy 90's galore. A 4 out of 5.

A interesting look into a broken marriage, blackmailing, and crazy sexual fiends. A solid read though the pacing seems off and art is just decent, but worth checking out.
The Death of a hero. The rage of friends. I believe this arc is one of the best simply because the good guys actually lose most of this.
A solid finish and while this run had issues I enjoyed a good portion.
This time Barry goes to all his friends and lets them know what's up. That Reverse Flash is gathering up peeps to take him out. This time he tries to protect them but also relies on them to help him. This also leads to pretty much any speedster ever created for Flash Family to come in and get a chance to shine for a page or two. A big grand, maybe little fan-fic type ending, but it does bring a smile to my face as a big Flash fan.
Now that this is done I'm excited to move on to Wally taking over for awhile. By far the best flash, but this was a solid ending. A 3 out of 5.

Miles isn't having much fun since now he has to live through his own Clone Saga. Yep, the infamous arc most spider-man fans seem to HATE more than life itself. Is this one better? In one word, yes.
Miles is suddenly attacked by copies that look just like him. Well one does, the other two are very different, but they all share the Miles feel and look of the suit. So miles has to face off against all 3 who easily take him on but then Peter comes in to help Miles since he's already lived this issue. It's a nice arc that actually helps Miles grow in some interesting ways. I felt it was a bit rushed at times and though we didn't need 2+ years of this like the original clone saga, a bit more time with the clones would have made the ending hit harder.
But overall fun storyline and Miles is a blast of a main lead. A 4 out of 5.

The slasher fan in me loved this so much.
A pretty much invincible serial killer goes around New York slaughtering people simply because he can. This leads a detective and her new partner basically who works for the mayor to try to hunt him down and stop him from killing more. That's the plot. it's not deep.
But that's okay.
This fun vicious murder spree by a mask wielding psycho gives who major Friday the 13th vibes but in a good way. Ever seen Jason takes Manhattan? Ever wish it was way better? This is that with some great water color art and a great ending leading to a soon to be sequel I can't wait for.
Give me more.

This volume wasn't as fun as the last. The Bside stories in these were interesting and introduced "hybrid" who I liked enough to research and do a video. I also enjoyed the hunted just because introduced a new alien who eats symbiote which is cool. But the along came a spider and hunger storyline were good but standard 90s venom comics you'd expect, cheesy dialogue and all.
