Review: Death of The Venomverse #1

Part of a new five-issue limited series that promises to add fresh perspectives on all things Venom. Death of the Venomverse sees Cullen Bunn return to the realm of symbiote storytelling.

In this new outing, Carnage is back on a killing spree. This time he is hunting down Venoms across the multiverse, getting stronger with every kill by absorbing his victim’s power! Hot on Carnage’s heels is Ann Waying, agent Venom from Earth-1051 and a group with the right kind of stop-at-nothing attitude you would expect from symbiotic special agents.

Cullen Bunn is right at home with this fast-paced type of action, and again, we see how his well-polished dialogue and dry wit work perfectly to give life to the evil Carnage and the Agent Venom team chasing him.

Death of the Venomverse comes out strong, showcasing a multi-versal version of electro Venompool and others in an unapologetic action-packed feast with plenty of back-flipping agent venom maddens until the last page.

Art has a slick 90’saction comic vibe but with an independent look all of its own. Gerardo Sandoval packs the action into every page with high-pitched energy! Mixing small panels with bold close-ups that perfectly created a layout of the chase against Carnage as he leaps from page to page with

All the usual dark and broody venom vibe aesthetic is on the show, with colour From Jim Campbell working perfectly alongside Sandoval’s sharpened lines.

Venom comics are one of my go-to’s if I want to switch off and dive into some dark escapist action. Death of the Veonomverse#1 easily fulfilled this need and left me eager to move on to whatever else this series has to offer!
