>Marvel Comics has confirmed the identity of Venom in All-New Venom will be revealed in All-New Venom #5 [out this April].>The teaser features Venom in his new gold costume, as well as what looks like a person with their fists clenched underneath. Could this be a clue as to who Venom is? So far we know Luke Cage has been ruled out, with Robbie Robertson, Rick Jones, and Madame Masque all key suspects.>The clues have been given. The suspects have been weeded out. This April, Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez uncover the identity of Venom’s new host in ALL-NEW VENOM #5!Are you ready for the age of VenoMJ?https://strawpoll.com/05ZdzVpQDn6
It's going to be Paul because shitting on Peter wasn't enough, they gotta ruin Venom too
>>147126145This is going to end up being some shit where it's all of them or none of them, isn't it?
>>147126208Yep.
>>147126208Ewing has been pretty upfront that he doesn't;t want to lie to the audience, to him it seems to be a very Golden Age Murder Myserty type of story where the writer never lies to the reader
It's gonna be Rick or some swerve
>>147126287There's no way it's not gonna be a swerve
>>147126254I don't doubt they'll have it be some kind of technicality where they didn't outright lie, just omitted vital information
>>147126145CAROLSWEEP(It's MJ)>>147126254He's also been very careful to not say for sure it's one of Dylan's four suspects.
>>147126145It's my original character Shmeddie Shmock
I'm not sure if "At long last" qualifies. Has been longer in solicits than the actual book.
>>147126366They already tried that before and everyone hated it
>>147126145this is perhaps the gayest cover I have ever seen
>>147126518
>>147126158Al Ewing literally dedicated 3 pages to Dylan Brock verbally shitting on Paul
>>147126145I've already stopped caring. It is crazy how hard Ewing has dropped off.
Who cares about this 90's ass desperate attempt to get people to care about a shit book?
>>147126158If its Paul I would laugh my ass off
>>147127058Not Eddie characterfags, so presumably ones for the host.
>>147127002Did he dedicate time and money to building a time machine to stop Lowe and Wells from creating Paul? Because a company "shitting" on a problem that only exists because they were the ones that made it isn't all that impressive and definitely doesn't undo the damage.
>>14712614519 inches of Paul is canon.
>>147127175it's the best he can do considering Paul is essentially protected by Lowe at this point despite the obvious backlash from fans and even writers/artists in marvel clearly not liking him either.
>>147126158But Cates and his juvenile Knullshit already ruined Venom, anon
>>147126145it's gonna be the demodokified george tarleton
>>147126145Putting all my money on the asbestos man.
>>147126443Isn't he dead? Again?
>>147127175Ewing doesn't retcon, he makes the most of bad stories. Let's not forget that he dedicated a whole arc of Hulk to fixing the fact that Aaron fucked up WoTR and forgot to have Roxxon face any consequences. Hell, the battle with Roxxon was fucking off screen. Let's not forget that a good chunk of the book was also fixing Civil War 2.
>>147127285>Winters, summers.>Never named the daughter
>>147127558Huh. That seems like a viable story and would fit the apparently revealed things about the host. Why as Venom specifically, I dunno yet.
>>147127696How would the body language expert have seen him recently.
>>147127696because AIM having its own venom is cool
>>147127768he lives in new york, could've pumped into eachother at the deli before the trial
>>147127661Technically he did do a retcon before(a rather faggy and unnecessary one too), but I know what you mean.But frankly it's still just an empty gesture to me, nothing more than some minor hook to get people to read the comic. So what if he's shitting on a universally hated character no one likes, Paul's still there and ultimately it did nothing to help with the problem, it's just weak pillow talk.
I bet it is actually Gwen's rape babies but they are't actually rape babies because they are clones and they came back from hell and they have Mephitos 's power because everyone likes Mephitos and they will eat Venom's sin and turn him into a good guy and Venom has never eaten any brain it was all an illussion created by Mysterior
>>147127789Is this the retcon? Because this seems like just pandering to a popular joke about Ditko Spider-Man.
>>147127870Yeah that's why I said technically. It's small and insignificant, but technicalities are technicalities.
>>147127789But, that's how it really was. College Peter was a dick. God, what he did to Debra is near unforgivable. Besides, he couldn't fix the Paul situation, Marvel editorial is basically forcing it, so he's making the best of a bad situation.
>>147128253Debra was much later.
Isn't Venom Eddie Brock? How many years/decades out of sync is my information?
>>147128332We've had Venoms that aren't Eddie since the 2000s
>>147128332Well Venom's first non-Eddie host was decades ago, so a bit
Despair. Actual reveal means that delusions that have become overly invasive will be destroyed. Imagined future lots leaned heavily into host instead of symbiote, so maybe it was for the best.
>>147128332Without getting into retcons and the Venom clone that eventually became Mania after once being bonded to Wolverine Venom's host chronologically are:Peter ParkerEddie BrockEddie's wife AnneEddie Brock againCarol DanversEddie Brock againA forgettable gangster named AngeloMac GarganFlash ThompsonLee PriceEddie Brock againBruce BannerEddie Brock againDylan BrockPeter Parker againEddie and Dylan Brock simultaneouslyRick JonesEddie Brock is currently Carnage
>>147128901>"Who the fuck is Dylan Brock?">read his wiki entryThis shit reads like some psychotically unhinged fanfic.
>>147128901Wait Carol bonded with Venom pre-Siege?
>>147129528Anon got hoodwinked by /co/'s rock-bottom Warbird-Venom AU
>>147127002it was so he could have Dylan go 'whoa actually you're super cool, Paul!!! please be my uncle...'
Bump
>>147126145Its Masque. In the previous issue, Venom said "WE don't do that anymore", referring to killing.
>>147128332Eddie is now Carnage.
>>147131042Venom kills/killed too, mate
>>147126158
>>147131077I meant WE as in Venom and the mistery host.
>>147126145this is so dumb... venom's secret identity is eddie brock . everybody knows that
>>147131180You can't really know whether the We was refereed to Venom alone or We as in Venom and the host
>>147131269That's not how it works, not in this series
>>147131227in mc2, mayday had a sister/clone that was a venom. would be typical mephisto to allow the mayday venom thing to exist while the rest of that future was destroyed by brand new day.nevermind, nobody that works at marvel knows about mc2.
>>147126208I've seen some theories that is just the Symbiote without a host.
>>147126145Sooo what's happening with Eddie right now?
>>147132164He's now Carnage and will be getting his own series next month.
>>147126145It's gonna be MJ, isn't it.
>>147132156I'd be fine with that. It's weird that the symbiote doesn't have that much characterization
who cares
>>147129020Venom comics have always been psychotically unhinged fanfics, but it's been especially bad since Cates took over. I've always said that symbiotes are some of the most mishandled characters in all of comic books and it's always because it feels like writers have no idea what to do with them, especially now that Cates turned them into this ancient almost-godlike race that gives their hosts ridiculous cosmic abilities.
>>147132332To be fair to cates, it was bendis that did that
Why is Venom half gold though? Do any of the guesses have anything to do with that?
>>147131042You know who else used to kill but has tried to stop?
>>147128332Eddie fucked up immensely in the last event and venom essentially fucked off to it's current host who is a mystery. Eddie basically has fucked up so bad he's currently bonded to carnage. We did have a small stint of Peter running around with venom again that was kind of based though.
>>147132373Bendis just made the symbiotes a benevolent race of peacekeepers, Cates gave them a God that had weird cosmic powersBut most symbiotes don't have any cosmic powers at all (not even Venom), just the King in Black
>>147132428Sad! Hopefully Eddie and Venom kiss and make up eventually
>>147132614Venom needs to get over it's current bout of self loathing and Eddie needs to not be bonded to the serial killer fuck nugget that is carnage before we can get back to the status quo.
>>147128253>>147128301Spider-Man TAS made Debra a likeable nerd with Peter being nice to her but with Flash Thompson winning the Debra Bowl.They could bring her back and have her develop Flash a pair of cyborg legs since she worked for Stark.
>>147127558I'd rather it be Monica Rappaccini (but she's appearing in Iron Man)
Everyone know it is Mary Jane Watson because Ewing is using the hook left of the SM comic where a bit of Venom stuck in her Jackpot bracelet, and he used it to survive, and why Dylan can feel who it is because Mary Jane and Venom doesn't want Dylan involved out of self loathing from both because Mary Jane remembers the pact and sees mayday on Dylan
>>147127665>Zeb so angry about the woman who dared divorce him that he even shits all over Paul’s daughterSerial killer mindset.
>>147133508Ohhh, she's named after the short story Rappaccini's daughter. I just got that.
>>147133705Marvel won't acknowledge OMD stop with this coping
>>147134730Al Ewing can do as he please at marvel as hickman because it is all they left, and they aren't going to commit the retarded mistake DC/Warner Bros did by not keeping Johns at the comic book side as Chief editor over fucking didio and lee.
>>147134730They acknowledged Aunt May’s Death in issue 400 of ASM.Either way, it doesn’t matter if they do or don’t anymore as long as Ultimate Spider-Man is outselling the main line.
>>147126145My bet is that it is absolutely nobody who was suspected and Venom is actually some random dude. It's not MJ, It's not Paul, it's none of the suspects, it's just...some guy.
>>147133705Nah, its Rick.
>>147126145Carolbros we can't let the Paulievers win
I hope it's a girl, just for the lolz it will cause when pages announce them
Weird that nobody outside here has put together that White confirming that one suspect is getting crossed off a month and the reveal being in #5 means it's basically confirmed it's not any of Dylan's four suspects.>>147126145Where'd Jessica Jones come from?
>>147126145Please be a girl.
>>147135460Bendis shitty and asspained book because marvel prohibited him of using Carol to make alias
>>147135410>>147135615We WILL have another FTM Venom at last
>>147135669>prohibited him of using Carol to make aliasIt was Jessica Drew that he wanted to use, carolfag. That's why he pushed Spider Woman in everything else he wrote and why Jessica Jones is even named Jessica.
>>147135669>>147135800No I'm the Carolfag, I was asking why JJ got added to the poll instead of Danny Rand.
>>147135830It doesn't really matter when both are "because they know Luke Cage". Someone could write-in him if wanted.
>>147135460
>>147127285nah that faggot dosn't have a dick so no
>>147126145His human teeth unnerve me
>>147127285Wait is this page implying Paul has ED or something?
>>147139584That feels intentional.
Surely Ewing isn't enough of a hack to make it Robbie or MJ
I hope it's Robbie. Something fun about him getting Venom powers and then going to fuck up Tombstone and having the two of them go at it would be good to see.
>>147139856There must be something else to do with Robbie than Tombstone again. He's been around for over 50 years.
How long until Eddie is back because sales are down?
>>147138119This cover is what really gives me panic that it's going to end up being Paul.
>>147140326I'll give it longer than what happened with Lee because the movies are done
>>147140337I have extreme doubt that Lee was ever intended longer than happened. His whole thing was being the wrong guy.
It’s gonna be Norman.
>>147140381Isn't Norman a scientist in his own right, that wouldn't make sense for the host-symbiote dialogue in #2.
>>147138119
>>147132391Happened in Venom War
>>147138980
It took two years for the identity of Red Hulk to be revealed.That's 22 issues.We're getting the identity of the new Venom revealed in issue 5? Fine by me I guess lol
>>147126145so excited
