Venom: The Hunger #3 (August 1996)
Kaminski Halsted Koblish

Venom: The Hunger #3 review by justin anderson

the plot: Eddie Brock is loaded with weaponry. Sonic weaponry, flame weapons, explosives, night vision... he's hunting the symbiote, knowing he has to stop it. He still has a mental link with it, seeing what it sees, and he's tracking it.

Above, Eddie's being tracked. Someone wants the symbiote for themself. Below, Eddie finds the creature. A short fight, lots of fire and sonics, until the creature stops fighting. Eddie feeds it a conainer full of a rare brain chemical, one of the elements a symbiote needs to survive(this element occurs in their natural environment, but on Earth, is only found in human brain tissue).

Finally calm, both Eddie and the symbiote are stunned by gas, as soldiers collect the symbiote.

the review: This is a weird little tale, bordering on Vertigo or Acclaim style material. Eddie Brock dressed to take out an army, the symbiote as a large worm creature, and a strange man with mechanical claws for hands. Which borders on sick as we see this man eating a human brain, with him saying, "I must remember to thank Dr. Lechter for this recipe..." (yeah, they intentionally misspelled "Lecter"). A scene I'm surprised the CCA approved of (yet they find Storm wearing a thong inappropriate?).

**** of *****. It probably borders on excessive for me to suggest it to everyone though.
