To say that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse feels like a comic book come to life may sound like faint praise, seeing as we’re two decades into a superhero movie boom that the original Spider-Man helped jump start.

You guys might need to have a talk about that.

Ahem. Anyway, where were we? 

Oh, yes – of course Venom has an end-credits scene. Two of them, in fact. Here’s what you need to know about them. Read more…
