This is a six issue mini series that is a tie-in to The New Avengers. Toxin
is the offspring of the symbiotic Carnage who has taken New York City police
officer Pat Mulligan as its host (for more information on Toxin see either
Venom vs Carnage or The Official handbook of The Marvel Universe:
Spider-Man 2005).
In this issue Toxin, who is still trying to accept what has happened to him
and to learn his new powers, is helping in the recapturing of the escapees
from the Raft by going after King Cobra.
Peter Milligan does a very good job this book. The narrative and dialogue
between Pat and his symbiote give some insight to both Pat's personality
and their relationship. I was quite happy with the art of Darick Robertson
until he got to the Razorfist interlude where it seems to go down a notch.
Toxin is stronger than either Venom or Carnage but with no mental baggage
to weigh him down. He has taken Spider-Man as a role model, and has chosen
to be a force for good. I can see Toxin becoming a major player in the Marvel
Universe.
