It seems to be a lack of focus onto a single character that is needed to give it that extra "oomph".
I do have a question for potato here because of my lack of knowledge, if it's alright to ask:
I understand the composition might be a tad imbalanced because of the building and even the moon, but my question is why does it read better if it was flipped? Is it because it's easier to view things from left to right because we read in that way?
As for my 2 cents, I'd personally push the poses more. You can test this by blacking out each character to see if the pose reads just by the black figure. In this case Spidey's left arm could be pushed back more to add more tension to the fight and to add to him lifting up Venom's leg. This is a bit of what Fedodika said.
Also just for curiosity's sake, I'd love to see how the image would be altered if instead of them being up right so as to the building being vertical, how would it change if it was Horizontal in the same direction as the red line Potato made. Even just having glass shards in the air would really boost visual intensity.
Also really great rendering here.
