Venom #14 Spoilers and Review.
The book opens in the past with Venom aka Eddie Brock in Limbo with Goblin Queen aka Madelyne Pryor and Chasm aka Ben Reilly where learn how Chasm was able dumb down Venom and make him impressionable and manipulatable.
We then pivot to modern day with Venom on his mission from the Goblin Queen.
Attack the X-Men, but only Synch is there and after a skirmish he is subdued.
That distraction allows Hallows’ Eve aka Janine Godbe, Ben Reilly’s girlfriend, to undertake her mission as we see her mask powers in action.
Hallows’ Eve infiltrates the X-Men treehouse.
She liberates an x-device as Synch comes to and continues to battle Venom elsewhere in the X-Men treehouse.
Synch is able to scare off Venom.
Hallows’ Eve delivers the x-device, which turns out to be a Cerebro storage unit, presumably of someone’s memories to be used if the Resurrection Protocol is needed, to the Goblin Queen as her mission was success.
At the same time, Venom changes into his Bedlam persona as he’s getting more unrivalled.
The book ends with Venom as Bedlam confronted by Venom?
Is this a hallucination or his son Dylan Brock aka Codex ready to strike Bedlam?
Next Up.
The Pulse.
I’ve been reading the Venom series since this fifth volume began. The Bedlam storyline has been compelling has been the evolution of Eddie Brock and growth of his son Dylan Brock. Dark Web feels like it fits into the existing narrative and not just a forced tie-in issue. I remain entertained and intrigued by the existing Bedlam plot as well as the Dark Web overlay. Solid art. 8.5 out of 10.
Happy New Year everyone!
