A Cure For What Ails You
Recommended!
Another great self-contained (mostly) story as we get to see Venom play another huge part in Spider Island. In the last issue, he worked with Gravity to apprehend a Spider King - this issue he has a similar charge, but now he is after someone that is helping the city?!? Indeed, it is true, Venom is after Anti-Venom! All in an effort to get the "magic cure" Anti-Venom is offering to the masses, in the hands of Reed Richards at Horizon Labs. Easy task right? Well at least he doesn't have Jack O'Lantern chasing him around the city as well!
The story starts off strong, illustrating the tragedy and chaos engulfing NYC; has some pretty fantastic action and battle scenes as Venom and Anti-Venom face-off; and in the end, Flash's personal life comes roaring back to center stage, as he is forced to deal with two things he has been avoiding for years...
