Venom is generally awful and stories with Venom are also awful. And yet this collection of almost connected Venom stories are really pretty good. Okay, except for Deadpool but I never expect much from Deadpool or Venom so together they are not improved. Gwenpool was a standout but I'd expect nothing less. X-23 Venom was a bonus.

60/100.
Está bien, es una introducción al Venomverse. Los personajes, exceptuando Laura y Logan, no es que me llamen mucho. Y sin duda, la mejor introducción de todas ha sido la de Old Man Logan.

The Gwenpool story was kind of fun, but otherwise this whole thing was incredibly stupid. The art is the only thing giving it two stars.

This was a really good surprise. Don't go in expecting anything enriching, you won't find it here. What you will find are some fun "What if?" one-shots leading up to the main Venomverse event where these characters will feature. Each one-shot does its best impression of the main series the character is from in both writing and art, all with a a dark humor edge to it. Just a lot of fun: silly, corny, over-the-top, and bordering on satirical.

It was looking promising, but clearly nor for me. The story, the illustrations, everything is just not my style.

Hit and miss. Each story is by a different creative team which means they vary dramatically in quality of both writing and artwork.
These are all alt universes in the multi verse, which caused me some confusion at first.
Favourite story: Deadpool.

Randomly picked up with most interest being in the short story by Nnedi Okorafor. Overall, I didn't really connect with the collection overall. Not entirely surprisingly since I went in pretty blind to this collection as a set up for another series and there's not a whole lot of characterization as these are known characters and the stories are very very short.
I don't really feel like I absorbed enough of the book to really give it a all around review, but I will note that I was very disappointed in the way that Okorafor's story involved someone "overcoming" their disability via Venom.
