Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse by authors Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom with Luciano Vecchio (Illustrator, Cover Art) and, Jim Towe (Illustrator), is a miniseries where the Spider-Man of various universes go to war against the Venoms of various universes. The trade, which will come out in January, will collect the Web of Spider-Verse, Web of Venomverse prequels, and the main series. I read this through the Marvel Unlimited App.

 

The entities that individually control each groups have suddenly decided that the other entity and their group must die. So, each entity selects a team of heroes from each group and forces those selected to fight to the death to save their group.

 

The Spider-Verse team is led by the main Spider-Man (Peter Parker of Earth 616), and includes Spider-Ham (a cartoon pig that was bitten by a radioactive Spider), a super solider, and others. They must go against the symbiote team. A team that is led by an Eddie Brock Venom that murdered the Peter Parker of its universe and now tries to be a hero.

 

The prequels are not very relevant to the main series and just are used for backstory for some characters who show up. For example, based on the prequel, one would think that a vampire Spider-Man was going to play a big role in this series. Instead, despite getting a lot of pages in a prequel, it just shows up for the big fight at the end. This happens quite a lot with a number of such characters that just show up in the big fight at the end. A lot of the prequel characters only exists to fill big fight at the end.

 

The art, across the board, is just okay at best. This is an action-adventure style deal that tries to take itself seriously, but as a reader, one knows they are not going to wipe out a whole group of heroes. The ending is pretty predictable so the read is just a fun time where one gets to see these two groups fight. So, if you are a fan of either group you might enjoy this title as long as you just treat as a not a serious read.
