The Birth of Venom

Let me say, first, that the timing of this trade is suspiciously close to spider-man 3.

the problem with this trade is that it covers a period of literally years, and so skips many, many story arcs, in order to focus on its actual subject.

THis makes it confusing, and leads to leaps in the quality of the artwork.

The story is okay, but you porbably already know all the salient points.

actually, the best part of the trade is the inking on the mcfarlane art. it's really great inking.

and the amazing bagman is always fun to see.
