The comic takes an incredibly unexpected turn as the threats Venom faces become ludicrous yet brilliant. Revisiting this time period is fun as there is a blending of dark humor and a violent comic. But once you get your bearings the story becomes exciting. This series occurs at some point during the original Lethal Protector comic, although it is not clear where exactly. The placement of the issue and the story, in general, is something that needs getting used to before one can get comfortable within it. The story takes a trip back to the early days of the character’s history, exploring Eddie Brock and the Venom Symbiotes’ first foray into trying to be a hero, whilst he is hunted and attacked by heroes and villains alike.

Instead, I'll tell you my version of what this book is about. There are too many layers and too many interpretations. Giving a summary for this book is daunting. Eng has achieved a lot of super-ambitious things in 350 pages that many authors can only dream of doing, so I'm going to overlook the few flaws I encountered. I've read some unflattering reviews and found myself agreeing with the points they make, yet I cannot give this anything less than 5. This is not a book for everyone, be warned. It was turbulent and tranquil, beautiful and ugly - all at the same time - and when it was over, I found myself sitting by the window crying for reasons I cannot discern. Reading The Garden of Evening Mists felt like that. ![]() Have you ever sat in a dark room listening to an intricate piece of music (like Sergey Rachmaninoff's 'Tears') and experienced a deep-seated sadness when the last note died off?

By night she games on her brother’s account – a videogame mercenary hired to help people level. ![]() In North Carolina, 2032, Flynne Fisher (Chloe Grace Moretz) works in the local copy shop by day, filling orders for 3D printing. More in the way that it’s a flimsy piece of crap that looks like it could fall apart at any minute and makes stupid noises whenever you turn it on. Not in the way that it transports you to a fully realised and immersive science fiction experience delivering an intricate plot of conspiracies and future-tech. The peripheral, the object – a super advanced headset offering a ‘too real’ VR experience – is a lot like The Peripheral, the new Amazon series produced by Westworld alumni and sci-fi power couple Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. ![]() |
