Stuff like Aunt May's fight with Peter, Black Cat's love/hate relationship with Spidy/Peter and the sudden appearance of Mary Jane and aftermath were pure family drama. 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.

He looked just as cool and creepy as I imagined he would look, and he did not disappoint in his battles with Spider-Man.This gives the symbiote's origin from day one, to the Spidey hating Eddie Brock clad toothy demon we know and love. Before he goes to fight Venom, Peter stops by a psychiatrist who tells him that the symbiote is having a love-hate relationship. The rest of the issue makes it a job to stress Puma's identity and Puma is still trying to finish off Spider-Manin the next issue, but Black Cat intervenes and he is forced to attack later that night. From dating Black Cat, issues with his aunt, his relationship ship with MJ, all the different villains that want to kill him, Plus an alien suit that wants to bond with him.

when my brother and me were old enough to read word books our mother, school librarian, would let us read no more graphic of any sort. I do have to stress that this is not the graphic novel to read if you only want to see Venom and nothing else since a lot of it focuses on Spidey and the occasional one-off villain.The last 20% of Birth of Venom contain Venom's first encounter with Spider-Man, and these issues are pretty good – better than most first encounters between Spidey and a new villain. We move on to the next issue, where MJ tells Peter all about her tragic past and the Hobgoblin strikes, attacking this guy and demanding 10% of his income. Venom is an interesting character starting out as a newly designed spiderman costume and becoming a sentient being. Venom and Spider-Man briefly fight until the assassins join them with Sonic weaponry to disable Venom. Amazing Spider-Man 252-259, 300, 315-317; Web of Spider-Man 1; material from Secret Wars 8; Fantastic Four 274; Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man 100; Amazing Spider-Man 298-299, Annual 25 The Beyonder's Battleworld might seem a strange place to get new threads, but it's Spider-Man who becomes unraveled when his shape-changing costume attempts to darken his life!

I will say, and I know this is personal preference, but I just HATE the 80s comic art, which was the last chunk of this collection. When Spider-Man confronts Venom, he is completely overpowered by his foe but Peter was able to directly talk to the symbiote and told it that it can have him.It was never clear in the comics what the symbiote was doing when it took Spidey out on clandestine trips at night, for example.

The fact that this is Spider-Man makes it easier for individuals reading who are not big superhero fans to follow, because most people have heard of Spider-Man, so it's easier to understand the general backstory when you are reading it, even if you don't like Marvel or superheroes. Anyway, Spider-Man freaks out and crushes Venom under a few machines and swings out, accidentally leaving his change of address forms behind.

As the title proclaims, this series of comics is just the birth of Venom so there is a ton of Black Spiderman stuff in this series that I really dug. I think in almost every issue within this book, it had to be mentioned and explained what Spider-Man "spider senses" do. Two assassins, Styx and Stone, were hired by Johnny Caesar to kill Spider-Man, a mission they failed in before Spidey fought Venom. 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.
