More 3.5 than 3, but not quite enough for 4.

I'm back to this series for a bit of light reading. Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Woman, is now Venom's symbiote. Alas, Venom doesn't have much to say, and the only difference in Gwen is that now she's ruthless.

But aside from that, the volume was more exciting than the previous ones. Gwen finally has a purpose! Her arc shows signs of existing! There's a show-off between her and Matt Murdock, the Kingpin of crime! There's a team-up with the Punisher that goes haywire!

A much more exciting issue then the previous few! Venom turned out to be a great addition to this series.

I don't want her to be Gwenom anymore. Bring back quirky Gwen

The last issue in this was the strongest and managed to make the overarching story interesting again. I’m actually excited to read the next volume!

Ah, Gwen... I've really enjoyed this run so far, even though the art may not always be my cup of tea.

My issue with this volume is that it doesn't bring the story forward that much. In spite of the big twists and turns it recently took, the plot seems to be mainly stagnating. Now, there are a few important events here and there, and it's always nice to see some familiar faces, but this wouldn't be my favourite book. (It doesn't help that I've never been too keen on Venom stories)

I really like the way it is written, but I've really lost track of the grander story, it's gotten very complicated. Sometimes I find myself skimming it; I wonder if this is an issue others had, or if it's just me.
