>cool costume>established Spidey character Chad Thompson>kino set up for action packed stories>symbiote also gives high personal stakes given its effect on people>reinvents a classic character in an original way without making them black or transHow comes Agent Venom was so short lived?
>>150396374>How comes Agent Venom was so short lived?Editorial is retarded.
>>150396374Status quo and nostalgia are king, therefore bring back Eddie (and have that Lee fucker in between)Also let's be fair here, whoever had the bright fucking idea of writing Space Knight had already ruined Flash Venom. The removal afterwards was simply a formality.
>>150396374The issue where he put the exploding pumpkin in Jack O'Lantern's mouth was crazy kino. I didn't really care for when the symbiote took over and he battled Spider-Man as we had already seen that a hundred times before. IIRC wasn't there a story where Spider-Man and Agent Venom team up to take down the other symbiotes like Spawn because they overtook a small town? I remember the artwork being really cool but can't remember much else about it.
>>150396374Him being a cripple was off-putting. I don't mind them irl but I don't want to read or see crippled characters in my stories
>>150396374Cullen bunn run is as good as rick remender run.
>>150396374I kinda like Mac Venom tbqhwy
I like how Venom but with guns goes the opposite direction than expected.
>>150396374Events. I will forever be mad about what happened with him and Kaine.
>>150397702Is that boock sanctioned by Marvel Comics?
I hate Flash as Anti-Venom. He should have become Toxin instead of Rick Jones.
>>15039637442 issues is a pretty good run.But first Slott wanted him back for Superior. And then he was given to Bendis for GotG, where he was stuck as a background character. Then they had him back as Eddie in time for the movie.
>>150397747Could've given him Toxin and kept Rick as Sleeper
>>150397730Yes. This article was written by Tom Brevoort even. It implicitly mischaracterizes War Machine and Eric Masterson for a joke. On the other hand, it has a Red Hulk.
>>150396482>whoever had the bright fucking idea of writing Space Knight had already ruined Flash VenomFucking this. Venom Space Knight pretty much killed symbiote lore forever (and it only got worse after that).
>>150396949Fag
>>150397747Anybody who gets the Toxin symbiote never has it for very long.
>>150396374Because we can’t have nice things
>>150396374He was a horrible fucking idea dipshitAt best, he should have been monster Venom, out to destroy Peter's life because Flash is a cunt and used to set up a non Nhillist version of Superior Spiderman with Peter dying at Flash's hands and Otto going on a crash diet and building a special suit to become the new Spidey to stop him/honor Peter's memory.
>>150396374Didn't Agent Venom happen only because Punisher was declared off limits due to Aaron getting Punisher Max greenlit and Slott deciding to turn Venom into Punisher lite as a stand in?
>>150396374I doubt it was ever intended to last longer than it did. Venom is too popular to be stuck to Flash. Anti-Venom is a good replacement but even that couldn't last too long because Slott wanted someone to die in his last ASM arc. But the whole thing with symbiotes has been a mess for a long time. So many made and then swapping hosts. There needs to be a mandate that symbiotes stay with the same host for as long as possible.
> Retcon Flash Thompson origin> makes side character have powersLame
>>150396482Space Knight was Bendis... yeah I don't think anyone knew where the fuck he was going with it from there
Everyday I thank Agent Venom for bringing Mania to life.
>>150401570fuck Bendis
>>150402155It is a cool design
>>150402155Now she's on her third symbiote.
Fuck flash. He should have died in viet nam.
>>150404014What really? I gotta catch up
>>150397885Year in Review was a weird book. Kinda needed a clear distinction between what was in-universe and what was meta stuff that they were doing to just advertise books. Unless I misinterpreted it and Brevoort is supposed to be writing himself into the 616 like Stan and Jack did. Also some of it was just too wacky to actually take place in the 616. Oh and that red Hulk is just 2099 Hulk but red and with guns for those wondering.While I was trying to find the source of that book, I looked at Marvel Age and apparently the Arachnis Project mini-series was to also promote a Smithsonian exhibit on real life spiders. Never knew that.
>>150405413Silence. Sort of like an Anti-Venom version of Scream.
>>150397702Spider-Man already went full circle with the original Toxin.
>>150405771and the first one was the best.
>>150401570>Bendis has fucked up so much shit, I completely forgot he was responsible for the whole Space Knight nonsenseChrist. Not that Venom lore has gotten any better since then, so that was another excuse to forget it started with him again.
