The arc didn't seem rushed, it was as decompressed as Bendis' other stories. And even if it was, it seems Bendis still got to the conclusion he wanted.

The symbiote's redemption still felt like a deus ex machina to me. I mean, the solicits promised they'd be on the Planet of the Symbiotes in issue 21, but instead all that happened was Venom going berserk until - oh, we hooked it up to a symbiote hive mind and instantly got rid of its hatred and bloodlust, so now it's good, doesn't want to eat people anymore, and has gotten over its bad breakup with Spider-Man.
