(It's time for a "SYMBIOTE" sequel! This stuff happens a few weeks after, and takes place after Amazing Spider-man 664 and pre Spider Island!  
 
Here's how it'll work. Half the page is for Anti-Venom, and half is for Toxin! Enjoy!) 
   
 

Rated T+

-- 
 Page 1


Panel 1:
Show the F.E.A.S.T center in Chinatown, New York City. It appears to be business as usual on the outside.

CAPTION(Anti-Venom): My name is Eddie Brock. I used to be under the control of a parasitic creature known as Venom.

Panel 2:
Show the inside of the F.E.A.S.T center. There’s a big crowd of the residents (it’s a homeless shelter after all) and staff around a central area in the cafeteria.

CAPTION(Anti-Venom): But then, a higher calling saved me, basked me in light; and gave me the power to fight that darkness.
CAPTION(Anti-Venom): And it tested me. Thrust a vile twist into my face the second I emerged unclean.

Panel 3:
Show MAY PARKER standing in the middle of the crowd next to her husband J. (“Jay”) JONAH JAMESON SR. (Jonah’s father).

MAY: It is with great reluctance that I accept this new position as head of the F.E.A.S.T center, thanks to being Vice President of the company…
MAY: Due to Martin Li’s… secret, I must do what he said he would have wanted me to do should things go bad.
CAPTION(Anti-Venom): And with the help of Spider-man, one who I used to DESPISE before the light unblended me, I fixed it. I purified one of the greatest places on Earth.
CAPTION(Anti-Venom): My name is Eddie Brock.

Panel 4:
Show May putting a tissue to her eye.

MAY: I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to run this facility with integrity…
MAY: Unlike Martin. (small text).
MAY: >snff<
CAPTION(Anti-Venom): I’m Anti-Venom.

Page 2

Panel 1:
Show JENNA COLE sitting at a table and applauding along with everyone else, but there’s a spotlight on her.

CAPTION(Anti-Venom): That’s Jenna. She used to be called “Jenna The Junkie”… but I fixed that too.
CAPTION(Anti-Venom): I fix things now. I fix people now.

Panel 2:
Show EDDIE BROCK standing at the entrance to the cafeteria, just in front of the door’s. He’s got a crafty disguise as a bum, with a beard and shaggy clothes.

CAPTION(Anti-Venom): But there’s no need to thank me. It’s what I do. I’m a good guy.

Panel 3:
Side view of Eddie.

Epic, mate, just epic. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to read all of these. I was just about to start WWS when I realised I hadn't read this yet. So sorry! 
 
As usual, just awesome. I love that you use back-catalog characters as well as making up your own. I'd never heard of Pyre, and was thrilled to see that it was just an obscure villain from back in the 90s, it really brings back the 90s feel of when Symbiotes were just the best.  
 
Great first issue ^__^
