Fantastic!

When I first heard that the Symbiote was going to be a cure for cancer, I was dissapointed. But they managed to pull it off amazingly! It was a great comic, but I wish spidey had worn the Symbiote Suit a little longer before losing it. Overall, this was a great comic.

Great story, but you need to buy the game to find out how it ends.

The Ultimate Venom TPB is awesome, and a worthy read, however, once you get to the end, there are too many questions left unanswered. To get these answers you have to buy the Ultimate Spider-man video game for PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube. The videogame is the second half of the story. It's been confirmed by Marvel, Activision, and Bendis that the videogame is canon to the comicbook, so those who aren't gamers just lost 1/2 of the story.

GREAT BOOK

This is one of the greatest ultimate Spiderman book. My favouirate character was always venom if you like venom at all read this book. It has the right idea putting eddie brock and peter parker as friends also peter with the suit was great but eddie was better the only problem was where was the white spider? THE STORY IS BRILLIANT AS IS THE ART

Venom's finally here!

This review refers to Ultimate Spider-Man vol. 6 paperback edition: Venom After other Spider-Man villains, finally fans are treated to the coming of Ultimate Venom! My personal favorite out of Spidey's rogue's gallery, Eddie Brock is given a background and origin very different from the main stream character. Also, Spider-Man's black suit origin is much different. No longer is the grand space-opera of the Secret War mentioned. Now it is a life saving experiment gone wrong. Not only does Bendis do a flawless job of presenting Venom, he further complicates Peter and MJ's relationship, and the hints of tension with Gwen grow. My only gripe about Ultimate Spider-Man is a small one, but does EVERYONE know Peter Parker is Spider-Man? Whatever happened to a secret identity being secret, anyway? Yet another character learns Peter's secret in this volume, making me wonder who's next? Bendis's scripting is very good, and I think this is Bagley's best art yet. This volume reprints Ultimate Spider-Man #33-39, and can be enjoyed by all ages, by newcomers and established fans. Highly recommended!

Best Book In The Series Yet!

After looking through some of his dads' old research, Peter Parker decides to look up his childhood friend, Eddie Brock. After the two catch up, Eddie shows Peter the experimental 'biological suit' that their fathers were working on before they died. Peter decides to try the 'suit' and chaos ensues.Writer Brian Michael Bendis once again showcases his superb writing style with realistic dialogue and fantastic characterization (this book has an equal balance of dialogue and action; as many consider Bendis' work to have too much dialogue). Also Mark Bagley's pencils are as good as ever, accurately displaying the characters' emotions as well as clearly showing action scenes. Transparency Digital's colors are also quite good, showing a wide array of colors throughout the story. Fans looking for more superb writing from Bendis and great artwork from Bagley will not be disappointed.This book shows why Ultimate Spider-Man is the best book in Marvel's Ultimate line and also one of the best comics on the market.
