Narrated by: Jack Meloche

In a Manhattan warehouse, an innocent man has been murdered during a mysterious crime. Evidence points to the involvement of Venom - the alien symbiote obsessed with Spider-Man's destruction. Yet Venom has always safeguarded innocent lives. Has Venom gone completely around the bend, or is there another suspect? Spider-Man thinks there is more to the crime than meets the eye. The specter of the Hobgoblin, one of Spider-Man's nastiest foes, falls on a series of thefts and leads the web-slinger to a deadly secret that may cause New York's destruction.

long overdue

this is a great book, I highly recommend it for those wanting more of spiderman.

the dramatic ending

the story was well structured. the narrator delivered the story in a manner that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Fun read!

This was a fun Spider-Man story! I love that Hobgoblin was the main villain of the story instead of the more used foes! I only wish we could have gotten more background information on the Venom-lookalike.

Mary Jane an peters relationship

I loved getting an inside peek into the personal life of Spider-Man. Listening to him and MJ banter back-and-forth and seeing all the kind things she does for him just made the story all the better.

Domestic drama with a tiny bit of superheroing

I think this book is very well written and well performed, but it is very much not what I expected. It is barely an action or "comic book" story. Instead, it focuses far more on the domestic life of Mary Jane and Peter and their financial issues and internal struggles. While that is an interesting topic and I think could be a very fascinating story, it is not what I was expecting with a book titled The Venom Factor.
