    Y'know, as awful as it sounds, I was always... indifferent about cancer, obviously, I never wished harm upon anyone, I just put it out of my mind, ignoring it. Now that era of my life is over, because my favorite character has it. The human half anyway. The alien half is(I guess "was" is the term now) pregnant.

    WHAT THE @#%#?!? This arc MAJORLY screwed with my favorite character, and while I so LOVE giving fictional characters terminal diseases, I HATE (hate, hate, hate, HATE, HATE, HATE) screwing with their origin story! The symbiote didn't care what Eddie felt?? It just wanted his cancer?? WHAT THE HELL??? Now apparently the story is that Eddie, ontop of having a grudge, HAD to attack Spider-man, because the symbiote was keeping him alive by feeding on the cancer, and we all know the story of the symbiote's love/hate relationship with Spidey. But this is just ... WRONG. Personally, I've always wanted the symbiote to just give up on liking Spidey (Apparently now it was the adrenaline he produced, the symbiote addicted to it. Again, WTF?) but now it's just all screwed up (now with Gargan-Venom and Anti-Venom! Marvel just LOVES screwing Venom's fans over, don't they??)  
     
    Aside from that horrible tinkering with the origin story, the mediocre art doesn't really help the arc overall.  
     
    Honestly, this arc was the first thing that led to the shattering of Venom's character, and I hope the writer is ashamed of himself for doing such a stupid retcon. 
     
    Only reason this gets a 1/5 is because the fight scenes were good.
