    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.

    I didn't really have too high of hopes for this title when I first heard about it.  It just felt like another cheap Dark Reign tie-in.  But then I noticed that Brian Reed and Chris Bachalo were involved. 

     

    If anything, we are getting a good psychological look into the minds of these villains portraying heroes.  It will be interesting to see how their time as "good guys" affects who they are.  Will they want to try to convert after being seen as a hero?  Will they enjoy the admiration they get?  Or will they just take advantage of whatever situation they can?  It does look like Osborn is going to have quite a time trying to keep all these loose cannons in check.  Things also aren't looking too good for Jameson.

    Do you like the idea of the villains in their own titles acting (or trying to act) as heroes?

    I'll be honest, Marvel is flooding so many books onto the market I've had to drop many of the DR tie in's. Just can't keep up with them all. This one will be the  same deal. I just can't take them milking me anymore lol

    They had me at Bachalo.

    Honestly, I enjoyed this book, and it feels like things that should have been done long ago as far as Gargan goes are finally getting done. Like...he should have BEEN on Jameson constantly for doing everything he did to him.

    Exactly.  I wonder how many people even realize that Jameson had a big role in the Scorpion's creation.  Mac can't stand him yet hasn't really done much about it lately.

    How can you hate Bachalo!?  He is awesome!  This book was great. I thought Brian Reed wouldn't deliver but he did.  Get it!

    Yeah, that's pretty much it.  I liked the idea, I thought it would be a good read, but I'm not made of money.

    @G-Man: For a while Mac Gargan Venom looked this:







    He even killed a Spider-man Impostor with his stinger during the BEYOND! mini-series, I thought it looked pretty cool at least you know when you look at him he's not your usual Venom.

    That's kinda how I felt (and mentioned in the vid).  But his battle against Jameson is finally heating up again.  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    I love having the villains in the forefront, this was a definate pick up for me.  Bachalo pulls me into everything he does anyway though.

    I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Dark Reign has been a great event for the most part, and I guess I'm one of the few people that likes Mac as Venom. Eddie Brock could only flip-flop so many times between good and evil before it got old. I like the fact that they're exploring the backgrounds and personalities of the villains. It makes for a richer story in the long run.

    I buy anything that involves Spider-Man. Bachalo is one of my favorite artist at the moment so this is a must buy for me.

    i enjoyed the comic.

    I liked how Gargan used the suit differently for once; reminds me of the old venom.

    And I like how it literally is Spider-Man without the cheesy conscience.

    The ending was pretty grim. I'm looking forward to more.
