The book’s black-and-white palette amplifies the manga influence on Dragotta’s work, with panels that recall everything from Junji Ito’s horrors and Akira’s Katsuhiro Otomo to Dragon Ball’s Akira Toriyama. While that might seem like an ambitious premise, Dragotta’s propulsive art moves Ghost Cage along well with vibrant energy and striking creature designs. This black-and-white issue follows Doyle, an engineer for the energy mega-corporation Ohm, and Sam, a seemingly sentient energy source, as they face other sources of power, which are personified by giant kaiju. Trade Paperback: Venom by Rick Remender: The Complete Collection Vol.In Ghost Cage #1, Nick Dragotta, Caleb Goellner and Rus Wooton offer a stunning dystopian vision in one of Image Comics’ most impressive new series of the year. He’s a flawed character, who whose drivers for partnering with the symbiote are far more interesting than Brock’s. I personally enjoy the Flash Thompson over Eddie Brock as he has more dimensions to him. Along the way, he’ll have to take on Jack-O-Lantern, Kraven the Hunter, and Spider-Man himself. The only catch is, Flash can only use Venom for 48 hours at a time or the symbiote will take over.įor his first mission, he must take down a criminal organisation that has a large shipment of weapons made from vibranium. After losing both his legs, Flash Thompson volunteers to use the Venom symbiote to go on covert government missions. Operation Rebirth 2.0 is the open arc in a sizable run of Flash Thompson stories which sees Venom take a more government agent approach. If Eddie Brock is too macho for you then you might enjoy the Flash Thompson era of Venom instead.
