American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Spider-Mania Bonus! Venom’s first solo series, Lethal Protector, complete series #1-6
*Marvel: A more modern excursion into the Bute Collection this week. This 1993 six-parter by Michelinie, Bagley and Lim was Venom’s first solo series, and saw the start of his transition from outright villain to reluctant anti-hero – though predictably, there were many mis-steps along the way! Establishing an uneasy truce with Spidey, Venom relocates to San Francisco, but his past deeds follow him, when the father of one of his victims enlists super-powered mercenaries to take revenge, plus he’s faced with five further symbiotes – Scream, Phage, Riot, Lasher and Agony – in a highly dysfunctional family gathering! All six issues now available as a set, including the foil enhanced cover to #1.
