I have to say that this should have made this book Spiderman 3. It was a coherant telling of the Venom story without all the camp silliness and it actually had some character depth and no silly plot revelations.

Vol 4 next which, judging by the cover, it going to have Spider-Man teaming up with the X-Men. Cool!

I'm also dipping in and out of Self-Editing For Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King. Dave loaned it to me and said it would really help with ways of improving how I write. Let's hope it works!
