Off My Mind: Who Will Become The New Venom?

Heh, it's funny seeing all the people's comments that thought it would fail :)

"Eddie would be the best. He IS Venom. Replacing him is like giving Harley Quinn another voice actress. Sure, you CAN use Hynden(sp?) Walch, but she's Arleen Sorkin, the character was designed around her. Venom isn't just a suit, it's a character, and that character's host IS Eddie Brock.  But it's not. It's someone else. He's Anti-Venom now, and sucks. Ah well. "

Eddie Brock. I mean come on. Just do it already.

" If is not Brock then who cares.. "

I SWEAR IF I DON'T SEE EDDIE BROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Stop complaining. Always complaining. It’s too cold. Stuff hurts. I didn’t mean to eat that guy’s arm. Whining little maggot. You don’t deserve me. You never did. Did I actually hear you say you didn’t want to be the scary guy? You used to be the Scorpion. You used to be a hard man. Why did you turn into a schoolgirl ... as soon as you tasted some fresh meat?” - The Venom Symbiote (to Mac Gargan)

Hero-Venom is a lame idea! Will for sure be a flop.
 
I really liked the Mac Gargan Venom - he is a lunatic killer-beast. Just perfect. I also like Venom as big guy and big hitter ... and as monster alien.
I don't like Venom with Eddie Brock as host, because then the character is similar to the Hulk - Brock as the victim, always fighting against Venom, always failing ... too melodramatic. It's good both are seperated now ... I like Venom with an lunatic, very aggressive host like Gargan.

I really don't like the idea of a hero Venom. Seems weird, especially since ( as a few before have already stated ) the symbiote has formed its own hatred towards Spider-Man and the symbiote prefers evil hosts. Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see I guess. I loved Gargan as Venom though :(

Sales do not equal quality. "

True.  And with the sub-par writing, horrible artwork and the pointless direction of the book, there IS no quality.  So you just validated my argument.  Thank you. "

Your opinion. To each their own. "

Well, you see, it's not just my opinion.  There's actually quite a few people who share my feelings regarding the "bland, new direction" of Spider-Man.  And we've all made our voices heard to marvel by hitting them where it hurts the most: their bottom line. "

 ignore post... fixing floating problem

I think the new host for Venom will absorb some of the evilness of the past three hosts. also, the symbiote will carry its hatred of Spider-Man onto its next host(Quite possibly Vin Gonzales). One other thing: If Mac Gargan is going to come back as Scorpion, what will happen to the female Scorpion, Carmilla Black?

Images of the new Venom recently hit the web, according to IGn he'll basically be a black ops version of Spidey who works for the government taking out threats to America. The concept seems good but his looks is somewhat silly because why Venom needs a gun is beyond me  "

"A government agency with the controlled symbiote attached to an agent...IT'S HAUNT! "

" it would be interesting if it was a girl "

Yup. Look at that picture. What a feminine figure. "

maybe it will be some sort of burly lumberjack lady "

Wolverine already bonded to a clone of the symbiote once before. "

Punisher?

It should be a non-spider-man-specific character.  Like Frank Castle or Clint Barton.
 
They won't do this, but  I'd like to see symbiote Tony Stark.  You could do an interesting contrast between an entirely mechanical suit and an entirely organic one.

" Might be interesting if it's Harry.  Maybe a bit cheesy though. I also wonder how this will play along with getting a new Carnage. "

Preach!!!! One More Day is one of the worst things in comics, I got back into Spider-Man after Shed and then kept it up with Grimm Hunt. GREAT STORIES!!! Then came OMIT...sigh and I remembered why I quit giving a rat's sack. I figured Waid writing Origin of The Species would turn things about, gave it a few issues before I declared "FAIL!". Big Time is meaningless to me, Slott doesn't know how to write Spidey point blank, period. So I too feel no shame in not purchasing a sub par title just because it features a beloved flagship character.    If more fan boys would get off their knees and take their heads out of their asses then maybe the industry as a whole would improve. Would you keep going to a restaurant that gave you food poisoning? How about a Dr. that misdiagnosed you or botched your surgery? A mechanic that cut your break line? So why, oh why, oh why do comic book buyers do the equivalent?!!! Money talks, not your prepubescent circle jerks in the comic shop about how you don't like the current status quo/arc/costume/etc. WHILE STILL BUYING THE TITLE!!! Marvel/DC could care a less about your letters/emails full of complaints, what they do care about is whether or not you're buying it. Seriously, did the 90's not teach anybody that the companies generally don't give half a steamer about their characters, just how much money they can make. I didn't enjoy Morrison's Batman, the worst of it was B&R IMO which was what I was reading, so I dropped it, spent that time on something else, and I happily discovered Marjorie Liu's fantastic Black Widow run. Dropped Uncanny when Fraction suddenly forgot that plot supposed to MOVE. That money helped me to move into Hickman's great S.H.E.I.L.D. My point is this, if a million of us hate it and QUIT BUYING IT, then we are heard. So speak up, if you want to know what's going on, borrow from a friend/read it in the store. As far as this new venom goes...Eh? Don't like the new design, and honestly don't care. Only Venoms that matter are Eddie (Anti-Venom is stupid as a retarded amoeba by the way) and Mac. I'm sick of the symbiotes to be perfectly honest, the only thing that could make me more disinterested in this story would be the symbiotes host being a vampire clone of Pete...oh God, they wouldn't! Would they?! I mean that would be as stupid as having Pete make a deal with the dev...le sigh. Crap, it's going to happen isn't it?  "

heres an idea bring back spidercide and bond the suit to him

Too bad they went' with a guy.  I would love to see a female venom

Apparentely I read that this new venom is getting an ongoing by rick remender  and tony moore after he premieres

As a true Venom fan, I will can honestly say what ever direction the writers take him in, I will follow. In my heart I will always want Brock to become Venom again. I also liked Mac as Venom, I would be happy with him continuing to be Venom. A new host sounds exciting, and if he is a hero, that means it can only last so long until the suit goes after spidey. But I have been very happy about where they have been taking the character and that he has played such a big role in the last few story arches. Making him a hero is just another way to continue to diversify the character and add more dimensions to Venom. In the grand scheme of things I feel it is only making the character better. And with this new venture of Venom becoming a hero, it sounds like, yet again we will see another side of Venom. If the government has control of the suite like Norman did, then that means that they can certainly bend the suite to their will and have the new host be a hero. What ever happens I can't wait to read it. Can't wait till February. VENOM RULES!!!!!

I don't mind them getting a new venom host I think venom is cool no matter who its on.

Damn, new venom must be on the juice...

I haven't read all the comments so this might have come up. I think it might be Kaine or "Tarantula" as he was referred to after grim hunt.

Where is Toxin???????? And Protocide??????

Someone new, please.

no eyes this time on venom....hope its aunt may who gets venom

" Somebody new.  But I would like to see one of Spidey's D-List bad guys use it. "

The teaser strangely gives me a M. Negative-feel.
 
But Eddie back to the black suit wouldn't surprise me.
