Editorial Reviews

“You're supposed to be the good guy,” a cowering villain pleads to Spider-Man who, in the triple-threat episode of this fine animated series, “The Alien Costume,” gets in touch with his bad self, courtesy of Venom. With great power comes great responsibility; but for Peter Parker -- outfitted in a new black suit that scarily augments his own super-powers -- the temptation to give up “being your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” becomes too great! The Venom saga continues in two chapters of the epic story arc “Sins of the Father.” Venom has found a new host in disgraced Daily Bugle photographer Eddie Brock, who has it in for Spider-Man. Venom also begets Carnage, and together, they make a formidable foe for Spidey, who will take them on in an epic battle with the help of Iron Man and War Machine. A humanizing love interest for Eddie Brock gives The Venom Saga an unexpected emotional weight of Shakespearean proportions, or so says Marvel Comics maestro Stan Lee, who provides enthusiastic and entertaining episode introductions that will help orient viewers who are new to this series.
