Superior Spider-Man Volume 5: The Superior Venom (Marvel Now) Paperback – 29 April 2014

The Superior Spider-man vol.5 Superior Venom contains The Superior Spider-man issues 22,23,24,25,26 and an annual.The Superior Spider-man issues 22,23,24,25 is The Darkest Hours, drawn by Humberto Ramos, who was on fire! His art, designs, storytelling are all phenomenal.I didn't read the annual, cos Humberto Ramos didn't draw it.

I bought this as a birthday gift for a friend, he's going to love it, because he loved the first 4. I've read the 6 volumes already and honestly, Spider-Man has never been cooler than when Doc Ock took control of the whole shebang. Buy this. I wish this story had went longer.

Note: This review is for the American edition of Superior spiderman volume 5 which includes issue #26 which is not included in the British Panini reprint.This story arc follows SSM's encounter with agent venom as well as the fallout in Otto's social life as his methods as Spiderman draw more ire from his Aunt May.Ramos' art work is as good as ever and Slott keeps things entertaining as we close in on the climax of the series. The annual included here is good but not quite up to the same standard as the main issues. Issue #26 is a prelude to the final story arc Goblin nation which sees the Green goblin's rise to power come complete.Overall if you've been following SSM and enjoying it then definately pick this up. If you've not started reading then this isn't a good place to start and you're better off picking up the first Volume and if you don't like this series then there's nothing here that will change your mind. 'Nuff said!

Great.

Great read

okay its book no 5 and its good exciting stuff with flash as venom and spideys beguiling true love for anna.but my favourite story here is hostage crisis.well worked, intelligent scripting and more simple but beautiful artwork.slott continues to impress but ramos art is getting over bombastic.

DO NOT BUY IN THE UK! Very misleading. Not complete. No issue 26. You'd assume from the other reviews that this is the US "MARVEL NOW" series but it is not. The description doesn't tell you which issues are included, and the reviews at the bottom do not relate to this product. Get the "MARVEL NOW" version also available here to UK customers on Amazon as I've now found. Disappointed. Very misleading. I repeat if you want the COMPLETE volume 5, buy US "MARVEL NOW". DO NOT BUY IN THE UK!
