Back when they were teasing a new "Anti-Venom" I suspected it would be Vin.  
 
I bet it's someone entirely new. 

First comment! I think it'd be nice to see someone use the symbiote for nolble intentions. Although now I come to think of it we've had that already with Toxin so... but still could go either way.

Well, considering that there is a new Hobgoblin, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's a new character to be Venom. Vin being the new Venom would really spice things up though.

a new venom and a new carnage. this year is getting exciting.

You think this means the suit is being unfaithful? I thought it was suppose to be bonded to the host. If it can switch hosts so easily. It diminishes the meaning of the bond.

" Those of you that are not reading Amazing Spider-Man lately (shame on you) might be wondering what happened to the past Venoms. Why is there a need for a new one? "

Ben Reilly! ...yeah right i wish. Seriously though someone needs to take up the scarlet spider mantle, its too cool to be gone forever.

" @leokearon: That last pic was revealed yesterday as the cover to ASM 654.1 "

the only thing that worries me is that were gonna be forced to buy these .1 issues just to  get the entire story. if thats the case, then i dont like it.

I secretly hope it is Spider-Man's new girlfriend but seeing that preview proves that completely impossible.

They should let Hellion from the X-men be the next Venom. Hes not doin anything right now and vemons power amping up his TK he could do a lot of destruction and could become a thorn in Spidermans side...jsut sayin.

I hope someone new becomes venom, maybe someone that spider-man meets for the first time and then they become Venom

I want the new Venom to go back to Venom's roots as a being of pure hatred and anger towards Spider-Man. Don't make him a hero...hell, don't even make him an anti-hero.

An Evil Venom is the Best Kind of Venom!
 
Also: GET RID OF THE @#$%ING WHITE EYES!

I don't feel the slightest bit of shame. Quesada ripped the story apart all in his quest to get those new readers he felt couldn't relate to a married hero. He had the hero make a deal with the devil. All for his own desires. Well, he can have those new readers at the cost of the old. Under his control the series is no better than a soap opera. As long as Qusada is attached to Spider-man. I will never buy it.   As readers, we only have one way to influence a product. That's with purchasing power. I don't like what he did to the story. So, I wont buy it, and I don't trust him with the series under his watch as editor. You can hardly argue that an editor doesn't have editorial control. "

I hope Vin.... New design is stupid, but..... What can you do?

Ben Riley , venom as a hero . Shame it will never happen lol

My money was on Phil Urich, but now he's the new Hobgoblin so I guess that theory is out :P But I was pretty happy with Mac Gargan, I thought they hadn't yet really done enough with him yet.

I like more the idea of Venom beeing a villain. Mac was a great host, his dynamic with Osborn, the Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers was incredible. Perhaps writers feel like There is little more to do with Mac-Venom.

I think Mary Jane should be the new Venom.

there should only be one good  symbiote and that is Toxin

I'm rooting for Squirrel Girl to become the new Venom. 

vin would be a good choice , i really like eddie as anti-venom !!! 
 
how about kaine ?

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?  "

If is not Brock then who cares..

it should be someone that noone sees coming like Kazar or quicksilver

Aunt May should be Venom.
 
A question, these Point 1 issues.. How often will they come out?

Tbh, nothing will ever live up to that 1st arc of Eddie being venom, back when venom was actualy scary :( Venom used to be awesome but nope, lets just fuck it over. I mean what the hell was goin on with Mac? on drugs? a stupid sissy? GURRRR

They should just make Logan or Steve Rogers or Jean Grey the new Venom. 
 
:o) 
 
Or maybe all three? 

Hell throw that suit on rhino

It will be nice to see Vemon in the hero business again. My vote is Ben Riley though I dont see the Venom symbiote bonding to him seeing the Scarlet Spider gave Venom a rather nasty beat down a long time ago.

Vin seems like the obvious choice... I'm kinda hoping for someone new though

jjj jr

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

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