Comic Book Review - Venom #5

Rob reviews Venom #5... After observing Dylan, Sleeper, and Venom for the last few issues, Venom #5 switches viewpoint as we catch up with Eddie Brock and the mysterious Meridius. Having just "died", Eddie finds himself in the 'Garden of Time' with more than a few questions that need answers. Venom #5 also sees the return of Al Ewing as the seasoned writer takes over from Ram V .  So, we're finally getting some answers to the questions that have beset Venom since its first issue. Not only do we finally see who that other Eddie Brock is/was, but we also learn "slightly" more about the enigmatic Meridius, and how he's connected to both the Brocks and the Symbiotes.  In terms of personalities, Meridius is still as vague as he was when first introduced. Al Ewing does his best to give us some answers, he asks more questions as a result. Throughout this issue, Meridius is portrayed as Venom's latest "big bad". He's able to...

Rob reviews Venom #4... After their apparent betrayal and subsequent capture, Dylan and Sleeper find themselves at the mercy of Alchemax. Meanwhile, Venom deals with his own "separation anxiety" as he attempts to carry on without long time host, Eddie Brock. With a deadly foe hiding in the background, it isn't long before Dylan and Venom are drawn back together... So far Ram V has crafted quite a page-turner with this current run. His script comes in at a breakneck speed, and it's all backed up with some stellar art by Bryan Hitch . While Venom does  rely on you having some understanding of past events, it doesn't detract from what's happening in the present.  In regards to the present, things aren't looking good for Dylan and Sleeper. After the betrayal of Archer Lyle, Dylan is under the examination of Liz Allen and her team at Alchemax. Whether Liz knows the full extent of "Vacant Throne" is up for debate, as the invasive experiment...

Rob reviews Venom #1... Since Knull's defeat there's been a change within the status quo of the Symbiotes. Eddie Brock now finds himself sitting on the black throne, and under his direction the Symbiotes are being used as a force of good. While Eddie is gallivanting about the wider universe his son, Dylan Brock is facing his own issues back on planet Earth. So, story wise Venom #1 opens up in media res. Dylan has bonded with Venom, and an unknown military force is setting up shop within a motel parking lot. We then flash back to 12 hours previously as Eddie leads his Symbiotes on a rescue mission deep in outer space. As the rescue mission turns sour, a figure from the future hits Eddie with a dire warning. It's this warning that brings Eddie back to Earth and back into Dylan's life. Aside from its narrative  Venom #1 also sees a change within its creative team too. Al Ewing and Ram V take the helm for this new series and its one full of change - yet retain...
