Venom Volume 2: Run Tpb (Spider-Man)

Rating:
Summary: Venom gets a tad better...
Review: Well for one thing we've got better art in this collection - why couldn't Paco Medina draw the whole series??? - but we've also got some dumb characters in the form of Frankie and Vic, and guess what... they're CLONES! Yuck. Anyway, we do however get the overly exposed Wolverine, who actually provides some comic relief every now and again in the "RUN" arc. All in all, pretty good stuff, if you ignore the clones.

Herrara returns in "Patterns"... Pro: we finally see Eddie Brock again. Con: crappy art. It's pretty cool to see Venom square off against the Fantastic Four and the scene where Spider-Man expresses fear of the symbiote in its captive state. Besides that, though, we get all this conspiracy crap that Bruce Jones seems to love doing over on "Hulk".

All in all, not too bad. The best of this series can be found in the next collection, "Twist", which has some classic moments between Spidey and Venom.
