Spider-Man: Birth of Venom (Graphic Novel)

I really enjoyed this. More about spiderman rather than venom but still very insightful.

I was worried that with this being an older comic it would feel dated and boring, but I holds up well and has great highs and lows and characters

One of my favorite books great for an Spider-Man and venom fan But when my Delivery arrived it had a giant stick at delivery arrived it had a giant sticker residue on it Great book but the quality can be better

Having read little to no stories with Venom in it,this was perfect for informing me about the character as well as displaying the bulk of the Alien Costume Saga

This was a gift but it looked good to me

Great book

D Fantastic graphic novel, funny, tense and action packed! Shame it had to end :(

I appreciated the fast delivery and the quality of the product. Exactly what I anticipated - Thank you!

Excellent condition and quality! Very happy with this

This book is definitely a must have for all Spider-man fans. First of all, you get a lot of good storytelling and writing in this collection. The summary of this collection, listed on the back of the book and of course seen under the details of this page, is very understated. When I chose to purchase this book I just thought that I was getting the origin of the alien costume Spider-man received when he was on Battle World, the subsequent issues featuring Spider-man using this costume and eventually getting it removed by the Fantastic Four, and of course the first appearance of Venom in ASM issue number 300, as well as his first of many returning appearances in ASM #315-317. A worthwhile buy in itself, but this book featured much more. The alien costume saga was written very well. It introduced new villains such as The Rose and the deadly Puma, Mary Jane Watson's background story, as well as the moment when Mary Jane tells Peter that she has known that he was Spider-man for years. All of happens while the alien costume slowly begins to take over Peter's body and exploit him as its host. Brilliant storytelling. The alien costume also features appearances by the Black Cat and the moment when Peter tells Aunt May that he had dropped out of graduate school. The only downside to the alien costume saga part of the collection was that it only collected the ASM issues as well as Web of Spider-man #1 in which Peter removes the alien costume at the bell tower of the church. I wish they would have included the issues of Spectacular Spider-man and Marvel Team-Up in which the alien costume was bonded with Spider-man. I love the alien costume and I just like to have complete collections. Also, Marvel Team-Up and Spectacular Spider-man issues would provide a complete view of the alien costume saga even though the focus of the story is in ASM. Last but not least, the collection moves forward in the Spider-man timeline to the first appearance of Venom and his first return. I love David Michelinie's writing and Todd McFarlane's art is spectacular. For the best reading experience of this collection, I suggest you pick up Essential Spider-man Volume 11, Death of Captain Jean DeWolfe TPB or Essential Spectacular Spider-man Volume 5 (cheaper and more stories), Vengeance of Venom TPB, and Venom: Lethal Protector. Also, Essential Spider-man Volume 4 features the issues of Spider-man and the alien costume that aren't featured here. All in all, this collection is an essential piece to any Spider-man collection.

Sehr cooler Comic. Für Venomfans ein muss

どうしても読みたくて英語版を購入しましたがそれでもヴェノム誕生の話が見えたのが良かったです。しかしやはり翻訳版もぜひとも出してほしいです。

Brings me back to the 90’s when I used to buy comics at comic book shops. Remember having to wait every month for the new Spiderman and uncanny x-men. The good old days
