I wasn't particularly impressed by the first half, but i did enjoy Eddie and Flash fighting over the symbiote (and the parts with the symbiote on its own). The second half was really fun, though. I enjoyed them working together even better.
The plot... isn't very much to look at... And Peter, as always, is an asshole when it comes to the symbiote.

Lee Price takes control of a symbiote and Spidey will need help from anti-venom (Flash Thompson) and Venom (Eddie Brock). We can also see Black Cat playing a good role.

I liked this one; yet, it could've been so much more. The characters tapped here -- not only the legions of Spider-Men, Venoms and Anti-Venoms (hyperbole, people!), it's got half the street-level rogues' gallery of Spidey...which, unfortunately, is not used anywhere near to the fullest of its potential.
Shame, I love me a good Venom story.

3.5 stars, but only because of one incredibly stupid joke/reference that I enjoyed. Venom sucks.

There were some elements that I liked, notably Spidey unsuccessfully trying to pass as a member of the symbiote gang, but overall I felt it was a little too cluttered. It was nice to see Black Cat in action, but she was oddly used here.

Probably not the best Venom book to start on when you've never read ANY Venom books, but it had good art and stayed pretty consistent and entertaining. SPidey-fans will find something to enjoy and Venom fans will have enough inside references to keep them happy.
