Venom: Space Knight Vol. 1: Agent of the Cosmos (Venom: Space Knight (2015-2016))

I went into this volume not having read anything that came before it. That made this kind of awkward, since this spins directly out of an arc from the guardians of the galaxy. The venom symbiote has been cleansed, whatever that means, this volume never properly explains that, and flash Thompson is now wandering across the universe as a freelancing hero. Over the course of this story flash assembles some wacky crew of miscreants whom are all glorious, a suicidal robot, a giant murderous panda, and a red cottonseed warrior woman who claims flash for her harem of husbands. The art I'd greet kind of photorealistic that makes all the cosmic space wackiness all the better. It's site great volume, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a standard space adventure but isn't digging Bendis writing guardians of the galaxy.

After a stint with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel now takes the Rom, Space Knight path and makes Agent Venom as an Agent of the Cosmos. Robbie Thompson's story doesn't break new ground but is an enjoyable homage to pulp science fiction tales of before. The real star here is Ariel Olivetti's astounding painted art. It captures the spirit of those Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers tales with lush alienscapes and fantastic creatures.

It was hard me to believe they took one of my favorite comic book villains and turned him into a hero set in a pulpy Sci-Fi world that is reminiscent of works from half a century ago. There's a suicidal robot sidekick, Space Pandas, and more. The artwork is great and looks like almost every frame was painted in a way to match the style of old pulp Sci-Fi. If you want something that is light and fun to read, then this is a great buy.

Honestly, it's not the kind of story I want the Venom character to go in, but I can't deny that it was a fun, pulpy sci do adventure. I really liked it as it's own thing, and the artwork was fantastic.

Super fun read, probably could have used better shipping/handling method, this came in a bubble wrapped envelope with corner protectors or a hard shell around the paperback itself. Was a little bummed it had some shipping scu​ff imprinted on the cover. Other than that, great art, fun story, and can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Such a great Venom tale! Check it out!

Real good vol. Venom is a great character and it was a good read

Great for a quick read👍🏻

Great

Art style is breathtaking, story is good too

Ich kannte bisher ausschließlich Eddie Brock als Venom aus diversen älteren Werken und Crossovers, Flash Thompson als schattierten Helden im "Anzug" noch nicht ausprobiert, da ich Carnages Pa als sarkastischen Helden eigentlich nicht sehen wollte. Aber wie schon in der Venom Collection zu erahnen, ist er eine sympathische Figur.Hier ist er im Weltraum unterwegs, Anspielungen auf vorige Events mit den Guardians werden gemacht und er versucht, seine Rolle als Wächter zu erfüllen. Die Geschichte im Ganzen ist mittelmäßig interessant, der wahre Bösewicht hält sich sehr im Hintergrund; hier geht's mehr um die Individualität des Klyntar und die Sammlung seiner Space Crew aus witzigen Aliens. Von Climax und Bedrohung ist weniger zu sehen als von Humor und Kennenlernen. Man wird zum Glück mit Rückblicken etc. nicht erschlagen.Warum ich das Buch liebe, ist der Stil. Out- und speedlinearmes Design mit schönen, dreidimensionalen Farben geben dem Weltraumsetting den richtigen Klang. Ähnlich dem Thor der "God of Thunder"-Reihe, falls die jemand kennt.Dies lässt mich auch über den leicht underpowert wirkenden pazifistischen Venom hinwegsehen...Lust auf Band zwei besteht auf jeden Fall. Kaufempfehlung!

Loved this book. The artwork was phenomenal and the story was fun and action packed. A true space adventure and I love the venom character and it's great to see the symbiote being used for good

I really enjoyed it. Took a bit of time for me to except flash as venom. Never thought I would say it ( Think I like flash more than eddie brock)
