Review

This issue is the perfect way to set up an arc. It establishes a home and a routine for Flash. Adding to the drama questions begin arise on how much control Flash has over Venom and more importantly the resurgence of Toxin. Writer Cullen Bunn is a patient writer that brilliantly sets up his arcs yet never excludes action, narrative, and intrigue. Once again the dialogue stays strong and gets the reader excited for the next issue. The one thing I personally was wondering this entire issue was where Eddie Brock is. We discovered at the conclusion of the last issue the Eddie was on his way to Philly. Which left me with the question “where is he”? The final few pages answered that question in spectacular fashion.  The big revel that Eddie Brock has been hunting Flash and wound up tracking the monster Venom was fighting was an amazing finish to this very polished comic.

Again the artwork in this issue is flawless. From the dark shadows of the night to the way the florescent lights of a gym hits the skin of any given character artist Declan Shalvey takes every aspect of the aesthetic into account. He is absolutely astounding thought this issue. There is a stellar panel that Shalvey draws a symbiote without a body. Declan Shalvey continues to make his mark as one of greatest artists to ever draw Venom.

I absolutely love this comic. I look forward to reading it each and every month. The reintroduction of Toxin is a brilliant addition to this arc. I think that everyone reading this comic is rooting for Flash. We want him to succeed. We what him to control the symbiote and be the hero we know he is. I give Venom #32 a 10 of 10. Venom is Awesome!!!!!
