Using sonic weapons they were able to temporarily disable Venom and inform him that his "son" is killing innocents. While this book definitely had some silly stuff you usually find in older comics, it was still very entertaining.

After a brief fight, Spidey escapes but Venom discovers a change of address form in Peter's clothes. do not know to what extent this collection exemplifies superhero 🦸‍♂️ comics, multiple storylines, many nearly indestructible villains, ‘comic book’ science as serves fantasy not logic, lots of explanatory monologues, identifiable, essential, consistent psychology.I understand this book has multiple books in it so they are separate issues telling a story that comes together but hearing things being explained to you multiple times to the point where it gets repetitive such as the spider senses and the costume feeling weird and then the costume doing something weird that is pretty much the whole story summed up. But Brock and the symbiote would reunite and escapes from jail and attempts yet again to kill Spidey by taking him to an abandoned island but the Web-Slinger is able to escape again. The incredible coincidence that the Fantastic Four use the two weaknesses (fire and sound) on the symbiote on the first try was pretty convenient. It was never clear in the comics what the symbiote was doing when it took Spidey out on clandestine trips at night, for example.

We do eventually get Venom, but his reveal comes as more of a twist to readers than it does an expected development. Not knowing this, Venom goes to Peter's old apartment but only finds the Black Cat, who was there to renew her relationship with Peter.

Just because there's a new costume doesn't mean there isn't a ton of backstory you need, as this is a point where Parker was dating Black Cat, and was just friends with Mary Jane, and there's a new editor at The Bugle, and Parker's high school friend is fighting with his wife, who's a receptionist at The Daily Bugle, and Aunt May is dating someone and renting out her home as a senior living center. We wonder why Hydro-Man suddenly popped up, or what happened to the Rose, and the Hobgoblin, but none of their reasons ever connect with us.

Starts with Spider-Man breaking a fight with some criminals and then he and Black Cat knock out the rest of them. It does make for slightly weird reading just bc of the chunks of time taken out and summarized, which sometimes dumps the reader into a totally different situation and style. I think this graphic novel would have been better off being titled something along the lines of The Alien Costume Saga (like the animated series of the '90s had named this story arc) rather than marketing it as solely Venom's origin.
