Review – Venom

Venom didn’t make his first comic book appearance until after I’d stopped reading Spider-Man as a kid. And I kinda regret that, because he seems like a really good villain, a nice combination of vicious, powerful and scary. But here he’s the hero. Or to be more precise, he’s an alien symbiote that attaches himself to the hero (Tom Hardy). Once they finish with the how-did-this-happen part, this eventually settles down into a fun anti-hero action yarn. Mildly amusing
