I can not think of a better place to start again with my collecting than the Ultimate Spider-man introduction of Eddie Brock and the Venom Saga. Of course, it is just that. This issue fills you in on all of the back story of Peter and Eddie and paints a much better picture than the most recently known version in Spider-man 3. Like any good comic, it ends just as things are starting to get the best. So I am left waiting in suspense until the next issue to see if all of the hype about Bendis' Venom that I have been reading about is true. So, due to its effectiveness of looping me in, that I really liked this start.  I rate this an 8/10
