Venom (Ultimate Spider-man Vol. 6)


With all the hardship in Spidey's life, it's nice to get a break.  At first, Peter is delighted to re-unite with childhood pal Eddie Brock, whose parents died in the tragedy that took Parker's.  But when Brock shows him their shared legacy- a substance that bonds to the body, giving it ultimate strength- they soon find themselves in over their heads.  Venom is created . . . and a monster is born.

Another nice volume, this one looks at responsibility in handling power (a familiar topic for Spider-man).  Some things that promise great abilities come with terrible cost . . . and it's not always worth the price.

Rating: A
