Spider-Man is one to keep an eye one because of his experience with symbiotes. He’s taken over by one, but it doesn’t completely have control of him. He’s still friendly enough with the heroes to be part of their plan to stop the take over.
This issue serves largely as set up for what comes next, so it isn’t a fantastic issue, but it does what it set outs to do. We see X-Men, Spider-Man, Thor and plenty of other heroes to go around. This series won’t be lacking them by any means. It’s also worth noting that this event takes place before The Death of the Mighty Thor, which is also stated in the issue.

Bunn has some nice moments with the writing, but it’s all fairly straightforward. Coello’s art isn’t the best I’ve seen, but it’s more than serviceable for the issue. There are a lot of heroes to draw and a significant amount of action, which can’t be easy.

A reader could jump in to Venomized without having read Venomverse, “Posion X” or Venom Inc. and not totally be confused. This issue explains what is going on and with the remaining issues, we hope to see a good story come of it.
