User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Venom
Well this book takes me back. When I was still collecting comics, Venom appeared on the scene, and instantly became a classic villain–perhaps _the_ Spider-Man villain. The whole early saga is here, and boy, remember the hair?
3 Stars It’s OK, but it disappointed me
As you read. “Spider-Man: Birth of Venom” focuses more on Spidey wearing (and eventuelly trying to get free of) his alien costume than in the fan-favorite vilain. Yeah, Venom appears and fights spidey a lot of times, but not enough to call the book “Birth of Venom”. The right name would be “the symbiote saga”.
3 Stars kind of a misleading title
Like most people said, the title does mislead a little bit. Most of the story was about Spiderman wearing the symbiote suit, not Eddie Brock. The parts that were actually about Venom were awesome, it’s just that there were so few of them. It’s still worth a read though.
5 Stars
tells the entire tale. the editors selected all the comics that told the story and assembled them in a nifty Tocc McFarlene drawn cover. A must for spidey lovers.
5 Stars good
this graphic novel is goos if you really need to know the history of venom but at times it gete REALLY boring but at the end you will be happy
