GN Review -- Batman: Venom / Dennis O'Neil, Trevor von Eeden, Rus 0
Originally posted on my blog, The Comics Cove, not too long ago...I'll say this: if there's anything more visually disturbing than seeing Batman with a drug-induced, Joker-esque rictus playing across his crazed visage, I'm hard-pressed to come up with it right now. The Dark Knight has come to epitomize--often to an obsession-induced fault--the essence of self-control and discipline, so seeing him lose it to the throes of a drug habit is more than a little jarring. Given the relevance of Batman: ...

Wow, where do I start. 2
I've heard how notoriously bad this was but I wasn't expecting THIS bad. First of all I'll start off with the positive: the art is good, the panels are laid out well and action generally flows well, the artist does successfully manage to pull off a lot of the absurdities in Denny O'Neil's script without making the scenes laughable (no such luck with the dialogue) and the colouring is nice especially considering how much mediocre colouring was going on in this early nineties period.Where the comi...

A weak story 0
PROS-Good art overall.-A couple of interesting concepts CONS-Silly dialogue.-The art is sometimes very ugly-Bruce is out of character quite a lot. And I'm talking about the times when he is not on Venom.-The main villain is so blatant about it, I almost think O'Neil thinks we're slow. Why Batman didn't catch it from the beginning, is beyond me. Such lazy writing, from a respected writer, has even made me consider a job in writing. I am convinced a lot of us, could pull of this story a lot better...
