I don't feel the slightest bit of shame. I will never buy it. 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. "

You should try Dan Slott's run... These past two issues have been the best Spider-Man story I've read in a really looong time!  

@G-Man: If Vin Gonzales is the new Venom, then this could be a good excuse to bring back Michelle as part of the supporting cast! (Sorry, I just like her... a bit) "

My guess is Flash Thompson. Why reintroduce him into ASM unless they were going to do something with him. Besides that it fits with the whole idea of the new Venom being a hero. And I understand that Flash cant walk and whatnot but what if the symbiot enables him to?

Giving it to John Jamerson would be interesting just to see how it interacts with whatever is left of Manwolf/Stargod in him.... 
 
Gving it to Harry would be in intersting choice.
 
My bet? It's Flash Thompson.

I sure hope it's not me that would suck.....but there'd be allot of fun times

That Dr. octopus costume still looks funny.

I think it's time to get over OMD.  I'm a long time reader, MJ will be the quintessential girlfriend/wife in Peter's life for me.  But honestly i'm not wasting anymore of my time giving out about it.   Believe me I did a lot of giving out and I avoided OMIT like the plague! But I'm leaving that all behind me.  I can understand people who can't get past it I guess, and not buying anymore is their choice but just leave it at that.   It is the most meaningful way of showing your disappointment.  Constantly complaining isn't solving anything 
 
SHED was one of my favorite arcs in a long time - the new direction taken with Rhino impressed me aswell.  So there is still great stuff in spiderman IMO - Big Time so far has been interesting (although I do find the art a little jarring).  Harry taking Vin to task was a stand out for me - I do hope he features a lot more. 
 
On the whole New Venom thing I'm not all that interested... I can see it being a new character.

Eddie always thought he was a better hero than Spider-man while wearing the suit, ironically enough.

oh come on people it looks just like the pattern design of anti venom

"oh come on people it looks just like the pattern design of anti venom "

Venom is the Kevin Nash of the Marvel Universe. 
 
When Big Sexy Kevin Nash first came on the scene he was awesome to behold...then the gimmick was exaggerated as Nash got older. By the time, Nash appears on TNA, he is a shadow of himself even though he's still a monster to behold.
 
The same applies to Venom. Just the expressionless smile was creepy enough. Then they added a stupid silly tongue, teeth, and turned him into a pseudo-hero. Then as if they couldn't get even more silly, he had a new host and they exaggerated his size. 
 
Marvel was so unwilling to part with ANY component to Venom that they made Brock into Anti-Venom. 
 
It's just silly to the point where I can't imagine any one cares anymore. 

In my opinion Eddie Brock - Peter Parker are the only two who are "worthy" of the suit nuff said

"Im not a huge fan of Venom anymore.  He's more of a monster now, and I blame Eric Larson for this.  He took venom and gave him that HUGE mouth, and silly tongue.  I liked Venom when he was just big black Spider-man instead of monster who eats people.  An anit-spider-man was cool as hell.  Spider-man with a sharpened Joker grin.  McFarlane style.  He is not that anymore and that's what they should make him.  Scary Venom is stupid.  "

It has to be Matt Murdoch as only a blind man would go with such a horrible redesign.

Hm, I wanna see a Venom that looks like a mix between Brock Venom and Symbiote Spidey that still totally hates Spider-Man but has no interest in any super-villain schemes.
 
And when the reveal who he is, it's just a random civie that the symbiote found that really thought Spidey was a twat who should have his face rearranged.

" A new Venom host? A new face would be nice, but I think vin will get it. "

I hope they don't go the hero way. I think its kinda stupid that they do. When Peter Parker had the suit it turned him into a d-bag, if they make a pure hero venom it makes him look week. Venom should never be a good guy, he should be fully be focused on his enemies and not have time to think about helping people. As far as who it should be its no big deal to me, I'd like it to be Brock but it won't be, they can just make it a random person.

Focused on Carnage. Don't care about the Venom symbiote right now. 

you gotta admit, Grim Hunt story arc was great way to kill of the 90s clone.
and whatever happened to Ben Reily?
 

what about Harry.  he could get it to protect his kid.

That's fine for you being the new readers. For the long time reader. Quesada didn't think that new readers could relate to a married super hero. So, rather than a divorce (which sadly a lot of people can relate to), he created this ridiculously convoluted story where Peter Parker makes a deal with the devil to change the past. For whatever reason Mephisto wanted Peter's marriage in return. All because Aunt May was dying from a gun shot. Uncle Ben always taught him to be the one who takes responsibility for his actions. It was the heart of who Spider-man is suppose to be. Now, he's a person who makes deals with the devil when it suits him.
 
Peter was even shown that if he stayed married and let Aunt May go that there would be a daughter in his life. He still chose to change time. He picked his elderly aunt over the new life of his own daughter. He abandoned his own child. Can you believe that Ben, May, or his parents would ever want that?

So, all the events of the marriage were just erased from canon. As if they never existed. It was one giant middle finger to the readers who had been supporting the book for decades. Telling us that all the events that were were reading and enjoyed were as good as fan fiction.
 
It just got even messier when they tried to explain why no one remembered who Spider-man really was. That effected many other characters. Black Cat had really grown through the years in the comics. Before she only wanted Spidey and didn't care about Peter. Though, in time she grew and learned to love Peter. Now, she no longer remembers any of that character growth. It put her right back to her petty past ways."
   

"  Those of you that are not reading Amazing Spider-Man lately (shame on you)" 
Oh really? This is a full disgrace, not a true Spider-Man stories.

I say Vin. It would give the writers a reason to bring Toxin back since Toxin's host was a honest cop. But on the other hand it would drive MAYOR Jameson up the wall to know his son was the black suit spider-man or hulking Venom like Brock, Fortunado, and Gargan were. I personally like the slim spidey look. But overall I say give Venom to Vin and bring back Carnage for John.

" I hope they don't go the hero way. I think its kinda stupid that they do. When Peter Parker had the suit it turned him into a d-bag, if they make a pure hero venom it makes him look week.

I have a feeling its going to be Harry

it would be interesting if it was a girl

Someone completely new would be nice.

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

maybe it will be some sort of burly lumberjack lady "

A newbie sounds good. 
Maybe a random person who gets injured and looses their family to a spiderman/ super villain smack down. Cries vengeance to all villains and becomes the new Venom anti-hero. I always liked venom...the anti-hero. Hell make it a Woman.

If it's John Jameson then that's a bit lame considering that he's been possessed by the Carnage symbiote in the past. I'd rather see a new character wearing the suit.

Going to have to say no thanks to the call for a she-venom:

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

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