![]() ![]() Ryan Stegman's artistic sensibilities suit the goopy, horrific nature of the threat. Again, there's no real depth here, but there's no real attempt at telling anything other than a rollicking blockbuster of a tale either.Ĭates' sound effects game is top-tier too, with 'FRISSHH' and 'KRAKKA DOOMMM' peppered in among the standard 'BOOM' and 'KRAK.' Effects are a combination of those drawn in-panel with an evocatively shaky hand by Stegman, and by letterer Clayton Cowles, who approaches each sound flexibly with a tone-matching mix of colors and fonts. When Venom, newly sainted with the Enigma Force, melts Knull's face-off, it's a satisfying end. The series runs at a rollercoaster pace, sprinting to the inevitably triumphant ending. Cates sets the stakes with the Sentry's brutal end, before knullifying some of the best Avengers and X-Men then offing Eddie Brock himself. Themes of death and rebirth feature throughout, filtered through that high energy, set-piece heavy style.
