Are you ready?
>>154753974Ugh, can't he be a villain again? His hero arcs are boring.
Yeah, ready to save my money.
>>154753974I take it the MJ version of Venom didn't sell?
>>154753974I like Eddie and Venom, I like Soule, but at this point I'm so used to the symbiote getting passed around that I can't feel invested in any reunion with prior hosts.
>>154753974as long as this has zero crossovers with Amazing Spider-Man and has only minimal references to the events of the previous run, I'm down
>>154754017It was always a short term thing anon.No one believed it was going to last forever.
>>154753974>Eddie is backNICE>>154754017One last Should've been Carol for the road
>>154753974at last Ewing is done with Venon now after Queen in Black
>>154753974If I had a nickel for every time they hit the Eddie button after they made a bad decision host-wise, I'd have two now
>>154753974>Charles SouleCan someone explain why this guy is suddenly getting work again? They tried pushing him in the ANAD era and nobody bit because he's a wholly bland and unremarkable writer who will never write a comic that doesn't feel like filler. Might as well bring back losers like Cullen Bunn while you're at it. Why the fuck is Marvel having nostalgia over the 2010s?
>>154754325He's the default host. But I'm sure the last time was intended to be dropped to begin with.
I mean shit, bring back Erik Burnham. Uncancel Jason Latour. Let's bring back Jeff Lemire for more boring books nobody will read. I'm sure Marguerite Bennett is doing some shitty D-list tie-in slop you can pull her from. Bring back the whole crew of shitty mid-2010s writers why don't you? Is Matthew Rosenberg doing anything? Give him a call.
>>154754335It is kinda weird that he wrote Eddie Brock: Carnage, it didn't take, to the point they had to revamp the release plans for Death Spiral, but somehow he has it all back.
Since this is a Venom thread and I'm just naming shitty mid-2010s writers, ring up Mike Costa to write a Venom spinoff. The readers yearn for Sasuke.
>>154754019Symbiote Transmitted Diseases need to be introduced in the population to lower the rate of swapping.
>>154753974>Eddie: I'll never fuck up again>Chapter Title: Eddie fucks up again
>>154753990>Ugh, can't he have even more boring arcs as a villain again? fixed
>>154754017Hmm...could it be perhaps because of the Paul cancer infecting the book instead of being torn out immediately? Could it be that the mysterybox narrative was shit and MJ got shoved into a design that was degenerate and ugly? And that her current She-Venom design sucks as well? Could it also be possible that Ewing lost motivation probably due to spider-office interference and Lowe being a faggot?
>>154754067It could have lasted a couple more years. Having Venom be the third wheel between Peter and MJ was just too easy for them huh? They just had to go and fuck this up huh?
Then is true, Marvel is Killing Mary Jane Watson and the entire anniversary is just a spiteful sendoff as they did with Danny Rand.PREPARE FOR SNEAKY REST IN PEACE MESSAGES IN THE COVER!
>>154754844>Eddie's back as Venom>They kill off Mary Jane>Almost immediately after, they introduce Zendaya MJ into the comics and set her up to marry PeterYeah, I believe, they're that stupid. Fuck it, make Peter a mutant for all I care, everything after 500 is fanfic to me anyway
>>154754905>Zendaya MJMichelle 3 feels like she'd be Miles' age. This is bad plan.
now what
>>154754941I'm not saying 1-to-1, just a girl named Michelle Jones who just so happens to look a lot like Zendaya
>>154754952Eddie has to file his backtaxes.
>>154754959>Synergy change that doesn't actually resemble the movies, and is used to be a roadblock to things people actually likeMost sounds plausible, but not the marriage point unless the goal is to kill her off the day before it happens so Peter can angst over her.
>>154753974>be the hero he knows he can be…and he’s not going to let any superhero say otherwise So Cates’ EddieWank is being dropped for good? No Avengers membership, Carol and Jen don’t want to fuck him, no more Kratos shit? Sounds great, they can even use him going to jail after Carnage as the reason Cap and the rest write him off.
>>154754941They dont care, it is all for the synergy from the higher ups now.They are really quiet over this, even CBR is suspecting of fowl play since gomez pages feels like a farewell or flashback.I wouldnt be surprised if this is butthurt over DC's side of the crossover being pro marriage and selling more than their side which was full on miles shilling.
>>154753974I haven't read any of his new stuff, does Eddie still hates Peter?
>>154754995No, they’re best friends now. Peter helped him out with his son a few years back, and Eddie regards his early days of venoming as a mistake.
>>154754962does the symbiote count as a dependent?
Given that Kelly admitted that editorial forced him to kill the Spidey/alien chick relationship, at the very least MJ is going to be back in a secret keep role in ASM
>>154753974Shoulda been Carol
>>154755052Anon... they are killing her.They need a reason to remove Peter from NY to LA, mainly now that we are getting heroes reborn 2.0
>>154755065She isnt even captain marvel anymore, Billy and DC won.
So why exactly did Eddie go to jail?
>>154755065This hasn’t been funny in years
>>154755112The stuff in his Carnage miniseries. Primarily aiding and abetting the Carnage symbiote, which is an Avengers-level threat, but also acting as a serial-killer killer, which led to a lot of innocent deaths.
>>154753974Having "star wars" on your comics resume is such a red flag for me, they're always corporate stooges.
>>154755112Carnage>>154755130Carolfags are attacking DC now ever since DC began calling Billy as Captain Marvel once more, meaning that Disney as Marvel lost the rights recently to WB and DC behind the scenes.
>>154755143Eh, he was just being a lethal protector.
>>154755167>Billy as Captain MarvelOh shit when did this happen?
>>154755130The Carol shit is just one annoying faggot who has spent like ten years doing it because he thinks it makes him a hilarious troll given the backlash on here against the film.
>>154755188Recently on JLU comics and the solo
>>154755066Killing MJ would be a death sentence to Marvel. They barely survived doing it the first time around.
>>154755270They dont care, disney is calling the shots.
>>154754017Prepare for the return of JACKPOT
>>154754335Marvel never stopped hiring him. He was just doing Star Wars comics for them for a while. His Vader comic ended this January, so Marvel just moved him back to doing 616 comics.
>>154755065I would never besmirch Eddie like this
>>154754995>>154755008Peter hates eddie for letting carnage know who he is and hates the symbiote for letting torment die
>>154755167Anon dc could always call him captain marvel they just couldn't sell a book titled captain marvel
>>154755592Marvel ether, hence why they got rid of diamond while shazam and dc outsold them.Get fucked carolfag
>>154755152Soules Darth Vader was actually pretty solid.
>>154753974Cool, but I hope Dylan and Sleeper aren't gone from the book.>>154755592AntiCarolfags have always been the dumbest posters on /co/, pay them no mind.
>>154755270I doubt they will kill her, but they will put her on a shelf in space or something because Kelly is completely disinterested in her, Lowe loathes her for the drama he brought upon himself, and everyone in that office is just trying to appease the Mouse.
>>154755167Wasn't the name Captain Marvel became public domain since it wasn't being used, and then Marvel swooped in, and when DC got around to using their acquired property they both had CMs until they gave up?
>>154755654Where's Billy's book? Oh right he doesn't have oneMeanwhile Carol is on the avengers and has her own book
>>154755574Carnage didn't know already is surprising. Hasn't it bonded with people that knew that before?
>>154755733I think the carnage that did die dand this is a clone/backup via codex that didn't have that info
>>154755715MJ should team up with MJarnage during such time.
>>154754455Is it bad that I heard the Always Sunny Theme to go along with this post?
>>154755758Look if they pull a Hydro-MJ and have the real one emerge from behind a shelf or something that will be just dandy.Stupid things got them into this mess, no reasons why stupid things can't get them out. I don't trust them to be clever or tackle trauma bonding maturely or appropriately, just scrap this direction and call it a mulligan.
>>154753990>Ugh, can't he be a villain again?You secondary, tourist, non book reading faggots are we had to deal with Lee Price
>>154755718Fawcett owned Captain Marvel, and hadn't published it for years as part of settlement over copyright with DC. During the interim, Marvel released Captain Marvel, the Mar-vell version, and trademarked the name. DC revived him in the 70s, but they had the book called Shazam instead, though the character was still Captain Marvel, and Infantino tried to make the subtitle of the book The Original Captain Marvel, but Marvel C&D'ed DC for it, so it switched to the World's Mightest Mortal. He's been back and forth with different names for years, either CM, the Captain, Shazam, and the Flashpoint version was Captain Thunder, which is the name of the Superman like character from Green Ronin's Mutants and Masterminds.The rule is they can call him whatever they want in the pages,the Captain Marvel name can't appear on the cover. Marvel still holds the trademark as far as I know.
>>154755066They're not. And they're not moving peter to LA anon.
>>154754017Sold well, actually, but it was designed as a temporary thing. But also marvel isnt selling well generally.
>>154755991No, it sold godawful except for the desperate event tie-ins.
>>154756264God it was such a nothing event.We killed all these relatives... offscreen. Except for Eddies dad. Done in one right there.Paul is dead! Are we confronting all the red flags, horrible shit from the Wells run and things said? Nah, don't speak ill of the dead, judge not lest you be judged for your part in Stockholm syndrome and planetary genocide. Nothing conclusions to nothing runs for nothing.Bad roll Ewing. Bad.
>>154754325What do Eddie fans want? If they choose Eddie, they lose. If they don't choose Eddie they lose.
>>154755794No, that was the intention.
>>154753974>Chuck souleSo it's going to be paint-dryingly boring and have a frankwank guest appearance. Yawn.
>>154756291>What do Eddie fans want?Personally I just want Eddie and Venom to have fun together beating up bad guys and sometimes heroes due to a misunderstanding or because lethal protector (lol). The Kings in Black story was a nothingburger, all the symbiotes on earth are dead and Dylan is never going to be Venom again, so might as well just hope for classic Venom stories in the same vein as the diner one.
>>154756953looks like you'll get it again. There was no way to do that after Cates' ending so just think of the past few years as a useful narrative reboot to go back to basics.
>>154756953King in black wasn't the problem, it was 100% Ewing ignoring the reset back to the street level status quo at the end of the Cates run, to detail Eddie because Ewing is a bitter little faggot that his revamp of the Marvel Cosmology got ignored by everyone in the company and by fans, so he derailed Venom to try and quadruple down on the same shit that got his Ultimates run killed due to bad sales and why no one read his post Immortal Hulk shit that tried to continue it, after editorial banned him from sticking it into Immortal Hulk.
>>154753974Charles Soule sucks, Fuck him for his shitty She-Hulk.
>>154755941Can they call him Captain Marvel in ancillary media? Like a game or toys?
>>154757567I said "Kings" plural. I was referring to everything regarding Meridius. I should have been more specific.
>>154754941Michelle 3?
>>154757829Michelle 1 is from BNDMichelle 2 is from Wells's runIf we got another Michelle she would be Michelle 3
>>154757872Oh yeah, forgot about Wells' Michelle lmao.
>>154754325Eddie and Venom belong together, it's like expecting Hulk to not be stupid, or Spidey to not be broke
>>154754017No one gives a shit about MJ outside of being in a relationship with Peter Parker.
I hate the Spider-man Multiverse so much.
>>154757872they should bring back roommate michele and have her marry peter instead
>>154753974>superherodroppedvenom is a psychotic villain
>>154754844>>154754905Wrong.Mary Jane is becoming the new Queen in Black in order to defeat Hela.
>>154758734They are killing her
Idiots on this board really think they’re going to kill MJ, when the reason they haven’t killed MJ yet is because she’s a cash cow.MJ is going away from Venom but she ain’t dying you morons.
>>154758738Nope. Becoming the new Queen in Black will save her when she disconnects from Venom.We’ll be seeing her back in the Black Cat ongoing soon.
>>154754017she never sells for shit.
>>154758756Anon... peter is losing everything.They are hard resetting him for the Los Angeles push.
>>154758749I mean, killing her, or making her Queen in Black and shipping her off to space so far away she may as well be dead, doesn't stop her from being a "cash cow" on variant covers. Gwen's been dead for decades and Felicia's a lesbian, yet they keep putting them on covers anyways.
>>154759041They do it out of mocking and spitingthe readers, also it is obvious that theyard going with the plan
>>154754019>I like Eddie and Venom, I like Soule, but at this point I'm so used to the symbiote getting passed around that I can't feel invested in any reunion with prior hosts. I thought this was a Venom thread not a threas about my ex wife
>>154758981To know him is to fear him?
They put the guy who wrote an Eddie Brock: Carnage series that sold so poorly they had to cancel it before it could properly set up Death Spiral on another Eddie Brock book?
>>154759767tbf Carnage books never sell well, so I'm not sure that's a great indicator of quality
>>154759785Conway's series lasted 16 issues, Ram V was on one for 10 and then they kept it going for four more with another writer. Soule's only got 10 and that was because Marvel had a 10 issue guarantee at the time which they've since chopped down to 5.
>>154759041Gomez suggested MJ jack pot book may be on going. But he may not have suggested it, im not sure.
>>154760022Let her be Iron Spider you cowards!
>>154760123My brothers didn't die for this.
>>154759767The only reason it didn't sell is because it was tainted by Ewing's stink. It was a far better book than All-Trash Venom.
>>154759767To be fair, I think that has more to do with no one really caring much for Eddie unless he's wearing the Venom suit. Like, they gave the guy the whole King in Black thing, had him working with Doom and Kang, but that's no substitute to people actually being invested in you.
>>154760022No, what he said is an mj book, but it has the title of the one shot.>>154756264It sold decently from what i saw.
>>154761380thats what i meant not Jack pot superhero. "Mary Jane: Face it Tiger" on going.
>>154761409unless they hook her up with peter its not going to do well
