Spoilers and Review:
The book opens with a creator credits page along with an opening blurb explaining who Chasm and the Goblin Queen are clones of.
The Goblin Queen of Limbo aka Madelyne Pryor and Chasm aka Ben Reilly are ready for revenge against the world and who they were cloned from.
That includes stealing their souls a job Eddie Brock aka Venom will help with as he’s been promised their help in finding his son Dylan Brock aka Codex.
The Goblin Queen spins her soul lulling song.
Hallows’ Eve aka Janine Godbe, Ben Reilly / Chasm’s girlfriend, and Chasm encourage the Goblin Queen to continue playing her song.
That has devastating effects on New York City.
Those effects attract the attention of the Amazing Spider-Man and the Uncanny X-Men.
At the same time, Chasm confronts Harry Osborn aka Golden Goblin (formerly the Green Goblin) seeking revenge as the Goblin Queen and Hallows’ Eve unleash Venom.
Unleash him on an unsuspecting New York City after the Amazing Spider-Man’s… brain?!

The Pulse:
An action-packed issue that did have to set-up the event, but did so in a way that didn’t feel text heavy yet still advance the plot. Solid art. Intrigued by what’s next. 7.5 out of 10.
