Review: A great read that any new or old fan of Venom should own. - Venom: Lethal Protector collects the complete 6 part series from 1993 written by David Michelinie and pencils by Mark Bagley and Ron Lim. It's quite surprising that it took around 5 years for a character like Venom to get his own solo series since his debut in Amazing Spider-Man #300 (1988) but regardless this is it and it was a great read. this isn't my first read of Venom but I'm trying to get more familiar with Venom and Carnage, with Venom so far I have read Marvel Platinum The Definitive Venom, Venom The Complete Collection By Daniel Way, Venom Vs Carnage and Dark Origin but most of what I've read started with Mike Costa's run (2016-2018) which is Homecoming, Land Before Crime, Lethal Protector Blood in the Water, Venom Inc, Edge of Venomverse, Venomverse, Poison X, The Nativity and First Host. So if you're curious about any of those I have done reviews for them. In the first few pages I felt the title of Lethal Protector was easily earned and showcased as a woman is getting robbed so Venom steps in to stop him and horrifying the innocent girl more by murdering the thug right in front of her. Once the task is done Venom turns around apologizes for being rude hands her back her bag and is off. This was well done, and subtleties of the art display emotion from Venom by smoothing the lines of his eyes which is deliberate because in other panels that are not close ups he still has the rough outlines in his eyes, showing Venom is sincere with the victim, and this is within the first 2 or 3 pages and I'll be including a picture or 2 of this sequence. I'll keep the story short, Eddie Brock has returned to his hometown of San Francisco to escape Spider-Man and fight crime away from him. Upon arriving law enforcement immediately recognize him as wanted from New York, word gets back to New York and Peter Parker pursues him. There are plenty of goodies and surprises and personally I found the Life Foundation section quite interesting. It does have elements of the 90s, like the clothes and Brock having a mullet...regardless, I found the story to be enjoyable and because of this I stopped looking for subtleties and instead was reading for fun. I did notice in some panels the colour seem to be lacking, I also felt fight sequences didn't last too long especially the Life Foundation section which could have last longer especially considering how cool it would've been. Overall I thought this was a great read with great artwork and plan on coming back to it, because of that I perhaps may need to look into purchasing the Venomnibus, which collects several other stories from his earlier days in a nice simple collection. Regardless if you like Venom or are just curious about his character I would say to pick this up. Hopefully you found this review helpful and happy reading. Review: awesome - Love venom and really wanted to read from Linda the beginning loved it read it within 2 hours worth the read can’t wait to read the next issues.😁😁

Awful, nothing delivered, no communication and no refund
Awful experience with this, seller never sent the product, have then got it so can’t be communicated with. Refund is unable to be got either for something I never received.
