    Venom

    Character » Venom appears in 2794 issues.

    The Venom symbiote originally bonded with Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man, during his adventure in the first Secret Wars on the Beyonder's planet called Battleworld. Initially, he thought the symbiote was just an attire. However, upon his discovery, he rejected it because he realized that it was sentient. Since then, the symbiote has bonded with several other hosts, including Eddie Brock, Angelo Fortunato, Flash Thompson, Ann Weying, and even Carol Danvers. Currently, its host is Eddie Brock.

    We all have trade paperback (TPB) collections we'd like to see. Here's one of mine:

    Proposed Title:What If? Venom.
    Alternate Title:Venom: What If?.
    Collecting 6 Issues:

    Venom is a character that seems to have grabbed hold of fans from the very start, when he was still being referred to as an "alien costume." Love him or hate him, there have been three What If? stories about him, a fourth where he has a brief but significant part (#31), and a fifth with his offspring, Carnage. Throw in his origin, from Uncanny Origins #7 (1997), and I think this would be a cool read.

    *******

    The Venom/ Deadpool issue is a collected one-shot of the four-part back-up from these issues: What If? Iron Man: Demon In An Armor, What If? Wolverine: Father, What If? Spider-Man andWhat If? Dark Reign.

    Would you buy it? Let me know in the comments, and thanks for reading.

    The site redesign had messed this blog up for a bit, and I couldn't get into it to edit it. So for a brief time, I had redone this blog as a list, and these are the comments from that list (the list is now deleted):

    Who:Date/Time:Comment:
    kfhrfdu_89_76k6/7/14 @10:54amNot a Venom-fan, and regarding the stories quality...I have no faith...
    cbishop6/7/14 @8:56pm@kfhrfdu_89_76k: Well, the quality will probably vary from story to story, but What If in general is usually pretty good. I'd like to see it.
