One of my favorite Spidey covers

This is my favorite Era of Spider-Man. And these comics are the reason he is my favorite super hero. If you get a chance can you review the issue where its a triple threat match between Spidey, Venom, and Carnage. It's the issue where Spidey threw Carnage on the third rail and Carnage still got up from that. That my friend is one the best issues of Spider Man I have ever read. The cover has all three of their faces on it.

Great review bro. I need to read more Spider-man comics like this. :)

I found it. Amazing #363. The finale of Carnage's first appearance. Brutal fight between these three. My favorite comic.

Thanks otherside and nowtheresaBATman.

@MatchesMalone1989 Yup, I own that comic and will do a retro review of that soon. It's on my list of retro reviews to do.

venom owns all

Classic comic! One of my favorite single-issue books...

Got that & read it many times

I find it hard to take your review seriously, since it seems you don't understand much about how a comic is made. Todd McFarlane had nothing to do with planning Venom's appearance in this issue, or for that matter, his first appearance in issue 300. Those were decisions made by the writer, and creator of the character, in this case David Michelinie. You say how much you liked the "story" in this issue, but again you never mention the writer. Todd's art on Spider-Man was a treat for sure, but as good as his work was he was only drawing what the writer presented to him in his story. If your going to review comics, then you should learn to give credit or assign blame) where it is due and learn the various contributions of the numerous creators on a title.

And yes is was a great book, story and art, thanks to David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane.

@Brett613 It has been argued about who created Venom. Both Mcfarlane and Michelinie share credit for that.

The error is fixed.

@ ELgUaSoN

Actually your story is wrong. Don't know where you came up with this, or from whom you heard it, but clearly it wasn't from someone who actually knows the facts. The reason that so many false stories are out there about this is because people like yourself keep posting whatever they find on the web, or hear at a con and present it as fact.

As I stated before, I was personally close to the situation and Venom (along with Eddie Brock) was created solely by Michelinie before Todd was ever considered for the penciling assignment on the book. Todd did design the look of the characters, but without Dave's plot and descriptions of the character there was nothing for Todd to draw. Venom's classic look that everyone likes so much is in fact Todd's visual interpretation of Dave's story, but the idea for the character, the full concept, the backstory, the motivation, everything about Venom was Michelinie's. Feel free to ask Dave himself, or the editor at the time, Jm Salicrup, even Jim Shooter might remember, otherwise don't believe what you find on the internet or hear at a convention.

As for the 'random artist' you speak of, again your facts are off. The drawing you speak of was actually just a suggestion by a fan to put Spider-Man in a black suit. Shooter liked the idea, and when he decided to use the idea in Secret Wars, he paid the kid. This had no connection to Venom, he wasn't even a twinkle in any writer's eye at that time. For the real story straight from Shooter, go to Jim's blog, as he wrote specifically about this matter. Here's that link from Jim's blog dated April 5, 2011, read Jim's answer to question five: http://www.jimshooter.com/2011/04/questions-and-answers.html
