Someone's taken a bounty out on. It captures the ferocity of Venom’s fight style, the complicated place Eddie’s life is in and introduces some interesting C-list villains too. Venom: Lethal Protectoris everything I want in a throwback Venom story and more. It’s a rather minor quibble, but it’s also a bit confusing to reuse the title unless it’s simply a way to make it obvious this story is set in the past. Heck, the setting is New York when the original was San Francisco. There’s literally nothing connecting these stories.
My only complaint might be the title, which is the same title as the 1993 solo series by Michelinie and Mark Bagley. The villains almost prop up Venom to make him bigger than he was at the time, yet remind us he wasn’t fighting cosmic gods either. Venom was largely a B-lister in the ’90s, at least to some, never reaching the heights of a Green Goblin type, so it’s interesting to see him interacting with even lesser-known villains. The fact that Michelinie is using C-lister villains is also compelling. You can see in the image below, for instance, the slight hue change in the ceiling above Venom that gives the image a bit more depth. The colors by Bryan Valenza are excellent. Ridiculous, but he’s loving every minute of it, including the SWAT team that’s brought in. In the third issue, we see Venom guests on a morning talk show. In general, Michelinie doesn’t forget this character is comical and has the time of his life. Kinda neat how Fiorelli draws Venom’s mouth like a snake.
