Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1: Rex

Yeah seems decent 👍

This new Venom run starts of excellently by presenting something new and interesting for Venom and the symbiotes. An epic backstory that is cosmic in scale. The story is fascinating. The artwork is outstanding too. To go into further detail would ruin it so all I'll say is go and read this book!

I must start off by saying that this book had everything I wanted. I love the symbiotes and wanted to read a fleshed out mythology of where they came from, and what they were capable of. This book gave me all of that and more! Eddie's character was written really well. You can feel how much he needs Venom, and how much Venom needs him. To slightly play on a pun, the symbiosis between them feels slight genuine, real and human. I genuinely felt for them during this series. The art is phenomenonal. Beautiful and detailing symbiote carnage (again, allow me to indulge in the slight pun...) magnificently. I will say one thing which will perhaps slightly strange, I didn't like how Venom''s mouth was drawn for the first 2/3rds of the book. The iconic jaws and teeth weren't really there that often. But that doesn't detract from the art. The story itself was heart warming and action packed. There was one genuinely laugh out loud moment which I also enjoyed. All that aside, why 4 stars instead of 5? The first quarter of the story for me was a little weak. Not too much going on, and setting off a plot point I wasn't interested in. However, the rest is an absolute 5/5 rating. Loved this. Absolutely recommend.

It came on time, and was in perfect condition. The story itself is the best I've read from Marvel or DC. Highly recommend!

I had heard good things about this series but it definitely exceeded those expectations. This was a really enjoyable read and brilliantly drawn. I've always liked venom and Eddie and giving the symbiote a history and mythos was a great idea. This is a must read for all venom fans.

This is probably one of the best graphic novels I've had the pleasure to read. I recommend to anyone who likes excellent artwork mixed within a superbly written story. Oh and don't be scared its only a comic.

I loved it and the ending was a huge sad twist but overall it’s a great comic I personally love it

The comic it’s self is really good and a lot thicker then I thought the only down side I didn’t like was the fact that is wasnt wrapped up, as I want to not get them damaged etc so wasn’t a fan of that.

Great writer

El primero de la serie

Good read, it's easy and the history is cool. The art is nice too. I recommend, go ahead 😁 😁

Geweldig verhaal om te lezen voor actie en avontuur en een goed begin om de verhaal lijn mee te starten

I was never into comic books in my youth. I'm twenty-nine, so maybe I'm still in my youth, but I bought my first comic book ever (DC Universe Rebirth - Teen Titans Volume 1: Damian Knows Best) about a year ago. This is the first comic book since then to give me the same feeling that I got back then: This must be what comic book readers felt in the 90s, when comics were selling over one-hundred thousand copies even on a mediocre run.Every panel is a work of art that could be gazed upon at length; every line of exposition is poignant and meaningful; every dialogue balloon is relevant, carrying the story and characters forward, and the reader's fingers tremble in anticipation while he tries to quickly turn the page, but carefully so as not to put a single crease into the smallest margin.From a technical perspective, we have tight storytelling, from the succinct writing to the emotional subtext conveyed deftly in the drawings themselves. The action sequences are huge, the dramatic scenes are dramatic, the twists are told with a theatrical flair that makes the heart slam in the chest and the breath catch in the throat.If you're into superheroes, then you probably already own this, but if you had the lapse of judgment to not immediately buy this, then here's your chance at absolution. This story will still be getting rotations ten years from now by comic book fans, and a sequel is in the work. Get it while its price is reasonable!
