Venomverse has been steadily building steam over the course of its short run, morphing from an annoyingly generic crossover event to a decently enjoyable one. Unfortunately, that trend comes to an abrupt halt in the fifth and final issue. Venomverse reaches a disappointingly formulaic conclusion as the conflict boils down to one final battle between the Venoms and the Poisons.
Much of this series' recent resurgence boiled down to the emphasis on unpredictable players like Carnage and Deadpool. In both cases, those characters' mental instability and nebulous role in the conflict added a welcome dose of unpredictability to an otherwise straightforward war. This issue fails to take advantage of that unpredictability. It's basically one long fight scene. Despite the presence of a literal ticking clock, there's rarely any sense of danger or urgency to the plot. The fact that too few of the Venoms or Poisons ever developed into fully realized characters winds up being the fatal flaw of this series. It's impossible to care about a conflict where neither side is particularly compelling.
