Bump if you're reading.
>>153238602Should've been Carol
>>153238626The wrong kid died!
>>153238626>a cosmic avenger should have been the star of this back to basics street level venom runWhy? They just got done stripping the god powers from Eddie, Venom, and Carnage.
I happened to read this before the storytime because 4chan was crashing miserably and I found it elsewhere, but this whole series has felt like they made dramatic changes throughout from a writer/editorial/artist standpoint. (And since EBC got canceled...)It makes no sense for Torment to have just moved on from Dylan after hunting him, just to move on to Anna and May. Flash goes to pick up Anna for her to get to Feast, then allows Torment to hang in the crowd while they serve soup? Eddie was dying in the streets moments ago but is now ready to rip off his neck brace and jump into some kind of fight?
>>153238610"proudly"
>>153238712Torment is pretty KINO.
>>153238689>>153238684Not to mention it looks like this artist got the instructions to write Paul into this fight, and potentially kill him right here. It looks like they just fuzzed up Paul's look because the artist had instructions that got interrupted.And why is Flash jobbing so hard to Torment? A non-symbiote powered dude with one Shocker gauntlet doesn't make any sense for him to absolutely obliterate him at this point. Honestly, I can't remember Anti-Venom being this weak to sonics, either.
>>153238717Cool design but killing Shocker is an unforgiveable mark against his charcster
>>153238738MOTHERFUCKER!!
Torment being somewhat interesting is about the only redeeming part of this shit
>>153238728Adding to my point, they couldn't even agree on what outfit MJ was wearing underneath the symbiote, how to portray the teeth, or whatever. I know they couldn't have Gomez draw everything, and the art's actually good, it's just inconsistent from book to book. I'm also trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that Torment can still attack Peter as he does as the separation is ongoing... but meh.If the leaks about next week are right, I'll be fine with it overall, but if they're not, this might end up being one of my most hated events ever.
>>153238748Oh TAS memberberries.Ewing you are such a tool.
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>153238618So Torment is an old dude? Or can Carnage disguises its host too?
>>153238748Should have been Ben.
>>153238776Retard >>153238614
>>153238787Who cares that faggot had a shitty She-Hulk run too.
>>153238768What are the leaks?
>>153238803>gets called out for being wrong>"w-who cares"KWAB
>>153238813Check the other thread
>>153238623May has dealt with bullshit like this so many times she basically expects it.
>>153238817Oops I mixed-up one failed TV writer for another. How will you ever forgive me?
>>153238748It's a cool design I'll admit, sure it'll be a good Marvel Legends in like a year's time.
>>153238813
>>153238971All libshit storytelling is the same.>And then they all got into a sharing circle of feelings. Won't catch me with this gay shit.
>>153238717He really isn’t. He’s just a lame cliche.
>>153238971>a dateGood fucking grief. They’ve “dated” a hundred times.How many times do Peter and Mary Jane have to make up and date again just because the autistic divorced incel jews that run Marvel keep fucking up their relationship.
>>153239041A hundred times more. He will bang more exes in between. Some 16 year olds to really sell the “manchild” vibe.
>>153238748Only one man can save us now.
>>153238748Should've been Carlie Cooper
>>153238684So this was Paul guarding the freezer's door, uh?
>>153238971pure stupidity. and peter is better than this.
>>153238843When did Soule write TV? When did Ewing write TV? Soule was a lawyer.
>>153238717He is, yeah. I was enjoying this already before Paul was killed, but it just keeps getting more fun. Ewing, Soule, and Kelly have been doing good runs. Only part I haven't liked was Peter in space, but the Earth stuff was good so it was keeping me quiet.
>>153239370Marvel Intern........
>>153239378I would never work for Disney. Ewing's run sucked until it was revealed to be MJ, Soule's Carnage was always good, and 8 Deaths was Justina Ireland's run. Spider-Man is enjoyable again.
>>153239345>peter is better than this.[Laugh][Laugh harder]
>>153238712feels like a weird hangup after killing paul when he was explicitly not in the spiral
>>153238885It's just Ben's version but worse
>>153239657Paul has no one who cares about him besides MJ and Dylan, who are already the subject of their own spiral and Eddie’s spiral, respectively. Assuming it’s not just blood family, in which case Papa Rabin is long since dead
>>153239666I really... REALLY... hate clones!
>>153238602every time they do a collage of character heads for a cover it's fucking baffling. MODOK and Masque have been important for this current arc, sure, even if they're not really core members of venom's supporting cast, but that skrull dude showed up for a few panels didn't he? did he even do anything?
>>153239696>Paul has no one who cares about him besides MJ and DylanAnd his trillions and trillions of adoring fans around the world, of course! How could you forget Paul's quadrillions and quadrillions of fans?
>>153238971>The spirals can be broken without killingWait, so they're not psychological? He's not dealing with murder OCD, he's got some weird magic curse torturing him with this spiral shit?
>>153238610bump
>>153239767>paulfag is so obsessed with paul that he could have made this page edit hilarious but can't get his gooner brain to come up with how
>>153239666I like how the face and arms are done in the reveal page but I can get preferring Ben's since that's the og Spider-Carnage. Though really you would have to try really hard to make a bad Symbiote design.
>>153239732I hate how his mouth looks in TAS
>>153239900It looks like Hexxus from Ferngully with half a spidey mask on
>>153239732Why does he have a racist Homer Simpson mouth?
>>153238748I'm prepared for this to be shit
>>153238732>>153238738>Peter is dying from thatrealistically Spiderman should wipe the floor with that guy.
>>153240469this whole arc is weird when you realize it's Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage being given the runaround by some dude with Shocker's vibro gauntlets
>>153239819Is this one better?
>>153238614>8 of 9nearly there lads
>>153240630>>153240585nice work gookmootsry 4 dbl post
>>153238630but I thought symbiotes were weak to fire, sonic, and aunt May's wheatcakes?>>153238626relly? Carol should have forcefully bonded with Carnage and be led in a ocd ocd ocd revenge quest against Eddie, MJ and Spidey?
>>153238674or skrulls, or kree, or brood, or the space ents, or inhumans>>153238684meh, he's just a hobo, how connected can he be(unless you count sharing needles)
>>153238689>DylanPaul satisfied the hunger>FlashWent to take a whiz, and with no leg control that takes a while, plus it's not like he could have sniffed a disguised carnage from a crowd?>EddieMeds>>153238732SPIRAL POWERS GO!
>>153239657He's from another universe, has no connections to anyone in this realm(apparently Torment's schizo powers tell him this, so take that ancestry.com?)
>>153239767>not The Paul Abpve AllThe Paulyonder?
>>153239349I think 6 Billion Genies is getting a netflix series?
>>153240930>Seth Rogen, the well-known and acclaimed actor and producer behind projects like Invincible, The Boys, The Studio, and so much more, is signed on to produce an Eight Billion Genies film for Amazon. That is a huge win for the upcoming movie, as Rogen is no stranger to the world of comic book adaptations, particularly those based on lesser-known, independent books.Someone needs to stop this man.
>>153238732>>153238732Hold up. If you can't kill Peter because "le spiral" then why the fuck would you maim him beyond what is reasonable to survive? He's clearly dying and you don't have a good idea on where the aunts have run off to. Sure, Carnage is likely playing up how on deaths door he is but he also got run through by three Carnage(?) tentacles and would be actively bleeding out, fast.This makes no fucking sense.
>>153239666>>153239732Animators clearly had an hard time with the symbiote faces. Venom also had the same issue.
>>153238654Anon, that's a bot
I can't believe they cut the nice space arc that felt like good breather for this shit
Will Eddie show up and take anti venom off of flash? Oh boy, flash is going to wake up regretting he didnt take pauls legs.
>>153238971I still am going to call this fake for one reason. It doesn't explain who Torment is. Fuck man, that's like one of the big mysteries about all this shit.
>>153238971>>153238971I still am going to call this fake for one reason. It doesn't explain who Torment is. Fuck man, that's like one of the big mysteries about all this shit.
>>153238651> all the old ones knew betterDid they forget one killed him?
>>153238971I still am going to call this fake for one reason. It doesn't explain who the fuck Torment is.
>>153241656Would it help this storyline at all in any way for Torment to be someone we know under the mask, instead of just some new OC rando? It's not like there's any existing villain who'd be a good fit for Torment's serial killer autism, and there aren't even many supporting characters left who don't already have some costumed identity.If Torment was Aunt May's new love interest or some villain we haven't seen in years who didn't used to be a serial killer it's not like that's going to make it a better story than if he's just an OC.
>>153241504It's probably fake but we already know Soule's writing a one-shot that gives all the background details on Torment.
>>153241470He's getting a different symbiote in Queen in black
>>153238623Scream
>>153242230So what? They can just remove it later.
>>153238971That's garbage
>>153241126I think the artist fucked up and that was supposed to be his torns tentacle things rather than Carnage.
>>153238602Covers for this issue, top row are the ones who belongs to this issue.Venom #257 E. J. Su VariantVenom #257 Godtail VariantVenom #257 Iban Coello Connecting VariantVenom #257 Mark Bagley Classified Target VariantVenom #257 1:25 Mahmud Asrar Variant
>>153241853That ship sales the second they established in chapter one that Carnage was the mastermind Only way to salvage Torment is to reveal that he's one of Madam Masque's robot doubles in drag trying to kill MJ because the real Masque's couldn't do it to prove their superiority
>>153242784>only two Venom issues between Death Spiral and Queen in Blackthat a rather quick turnaround
>>153242812That doesn't make the story better, just silly.
>>153242812How does that fix anything?
>>153238684>>153238690Little murderball Carnage is adorable
>>153239233PAUL IS
>>153238971guys is this comic book is for kids?
>>153243008Comics aren't for kids anymore.
>>153243008WorseIt's for adults who want to be treated like kids
>>153238748Which anime will they watch first?
>>153243637Astro Boy.
>>153240406Peak John Romita JunioR
>>153240684Venom is vulnerable to fire and sonics. Carnage is only vulnerable to sonics. Carnage's gimmick was being to Venom what Venom was to Spider-man.
>>153242834Events, baby! It's marketing genius!
>>153243637Oreimo
>>153239408Retard lmao
>>153238602>venom with pearly whites>mj venom with a male bodybuilder's bodyWho's to blame for this monstrosity?
>>153244048Mary Jane's autism over Peter's secret identity continuing to be a secret even if she becomes a hero.If JLA Avengers is still canon They both learned that from Batman
interview about the most recent issue>https://aiptcomics.com/2026/04/15/venom-unleashed-20-death-spiral/
>>153244048>>153244086Venom debuted with teeth like that, they have them now because it’s how MJ remembers him. The whole point of ANV was that the identity was a secret. Looking like a woman defeats that purpose.
>>153244126What is the point of a secret identity nowadays? She only showed up for like one job she had to leave to get into superhero fights.
>>153244123Trash. Fire Al Ewing and Jordan White.
>>153244153in this case it was to sell the book by keeping it a mystery, introducing 4 “suspects”, then revealing it was none of them. Also it makes less work for writing her in the future, her publically being venom would be a nightmare to write around
>>153244123So they did mention Kristy. It felt weird neither Madame Masque's list of Mary Jane's relatives nor anything involving Torment brought her up. Although I really dislike the idea of pairing her with Dylan, even if there wasn't an age gap. Have her appear on her own merits.
>>153244183They'll mention Kristy right after Peter's cousin, Linda Brown
>>153244213Linda was eaten by a shark before reaching the mermaid city.
>Paul's funeralI can't tell if the woman near Peter is Felicia or Liz
>>153244406from the skin color it looks like they remembered Shay exists
>>153244406Liz came to apologize for kidnapping and torturing Dylan, also isn’t ‘Peter’ Rick Jones?
>>153244406Just want SS mommy MJ with Dylan so badd
>>153244475Why would Rick Jones be at Paul's funeral
>>153244502I don’t know, why is Norman there?
>>153244406>The entire ASM supporting cast shows up in 1 single imagelollmao
>>153238777>And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.I did not like this and I will not be doing that. Thanks anyway.
>>153242834Yeah, crossover fatigue.
>>153244502That's Peter.
>>153245074ESL or autistic ?
I ended up biting the bullet and buying this, thanks to the anon who posted it.
>The previous Venom editor got laid offDamn
>>153244406>Anna and May shown in the preview. At least they aren't pretending they were ever actually in dangers.
>>153244452It'd be so dumb if they had Shay come to Paul's funeral, in an issue where people are hoping for some kind of significant romantic undertone between Peter and MJ. I'm also hoping this issue resolves shit instead of just pushing them apart more, but who knows.
>>153245184Just establish that Shay and Paul were seeing each other and that she felt Paul was the one. Then everyone can have a funny reaction.
>>153245108Oh, you were being sarcastic.
>>153245184>>153245212>Shay comes to Paul's funeral.>She's pregnant.What a whore, just like Gwen Stacy!
>>153245264>Paul's funeralYes, Paul's funeral. Where a speech will be given by his conveniently heretofore unmentioned identical twin brother, Luap Rabin.
>>153245184Paul penetrated that
>>153244502Forget Rick, why is JEAN GREY there?
>>153238971the amount of garbage compiled in there....
>>153244406>Norman already on his phone.
>>153245727>"Yeah, no, it was a bad funeral but at least I am $50 richer!"
>>153238680what is going on with the shading on these faces? It looks like digital on top of pencil scratches. No real ink.
>>153243637Medalist
>>153244406Is that Flash?Why does he have legs?
I'm going to complain about X-Menification, even though this isn't as worse offender as previous arcs or what people would interpret that as meaning.
>>153244502revolting desungl she doesn't deserve to even stand besides him
>>153245957antivenom or prosthetics
>>153244406Why is Flash walking?
>>153244406>Flash stole Paul's legs.HA!
>>153245125Jordan white? Or when you said previous the one before him.
>>153246230NTA, but it was Devin Lewis.
>>153245680samefag catcuck..,
>>153246230No, White avoided the axe along with i think all the other major editors at Marvel
>>153244502So before we move onto 1000 countdown it's time to put a nail on that coffin at last(for the fifth time lmao).
>>153243008For manchildren
>>153245652that's clearly that bitch from invincible, Atom Eve!
>>153245957check the coffin
>>153246604all past ones she ended up as a complete stinky piece of shit>inb4 n-nuh!you know it's truth.now we at least can hear an apology and maybe acting as a friend.
>>153246811They're gonna make Peter apologize.
>>153244559>I don’t know, why is Norman there?The same reason everyone else is; to make sure Paul's really dead.
Ok now I get why Ewing wanted to shoot all the symbs into space, I get it's their very concept from the beginning as a anti thesis of street spidey but it kinda gets tiresome to watch sloppy analoghorror'd spidermans slaughtering vaugely homeless people after hundredth times.
Now I get why Ewing send them into space, Halloween costume spidermans killing homeless people on street can get repetitive after hundredth times
>>153244559>why is Norman there?The same reason everyone else is there; to make sure Paul's really dead.
>>153246811Peter will be who apologizes, cap this.
Now I get why Ewing send them into space. Tentacle sex belongs in space. In space, no one can hear you cream.
>>153238971I haven't kept up with Spider-slop in a year, but doesn't Peter have a girlfriend currently?
>>153249483Currently it is an open relationship. Peter has only seen her once under the current writer and that was going as a group to a food place with Randy. Also some alien woman was into him, but she is on the mend from Earth diseases.
>>153247882>>153247894did you have an upload error.
>>153244406Disney needs to do more layoffs.
>>153250950Should’ve laid off the problem people
>>153251584Disney can't laid off itself.
>>153240839I went with the Paul Above All once and someone told me I should have used the One Above Paul instead. Now I go with the One Above Paul and I hear "oh, you should've said the Paul Above All instead"? This proves that there is an unfair bias against Paul Rabin and his quintillions and quintillions of fans worldwide.

>>153245111Shit taste in covers.
>>153238712...so who did Torment kill by accident, that now he has to kill Parkers, Brocks and Watsons? Because if he didn't kill anyone, he wouldn't have to do it, right?
>>153238716>Haha, get it MJ? Like me and you, because the editorial...>Oh shut up
>>153238971Is he still casually dating Shalamala-whats-her-face?
>>153238748Hasbro is pissing themselves from joy.
>>153256262Carnage contacted him to tell him to start killing these particular people because Eddie Brock was role-playing Dexter to deal with the killing urges and that wasn't good enough for the symbiote.
