![]() It doesn’t add much new to the hero’s journey so to speak, but it does enough with the elements it has to make something new. ![]() For those intrigued by Cates’ use of Captain Universe (and count me one of them), this story will at least keep you satisfied with how it pans out.īoiled down to its essentials - which would mean removing a lot of Eddie/Venom banter via captions to one another - this is a very basic story about our hero finding a magical “elixir” to use on the villain for the final act. If you’re not a fan of deus ex machina, you will be disappointed with how Eddie finds the strength to fight back in the final moments. The narrative is rather basic in its main purpose and uses the “find another gear to win” method, which will satisfy fans who are here for the big blockbuster action. The main story has a huge idea at work here that advances Symbiotes beyond aliens with teeth and insatiable hunger.Īlong the way, a classic character is revived and all the build-up of this Symbiote purgatory helps make it feel at least a little bit earned. Along the way, Eddie has Rex Strickland as a guide, and it’s clear Cates is adding more to the Venom mythology with an impressive new layer that’s put the usually violent and physical alien race into a new spiritual place. It’s not much of a spoiler at this point since most of this book is Eddie’s journey in Symbiote purgatory. ![]() This book opens with Eddie Brock fighting Knull and literally dying.
