>Venom’s earliest days are getting revisited this December, but this time, Marvel is telling the story from the symbiote’s perspective.>Venom: POV is a new five-issue limited series from writer Ryan Stegman and artist Carlos Gomez that heads back to the classic Amazing Spider-Man stories that introduced Eddie Brock and Venom. Stegman, who also provides the series’ main covers, will explore what was happening from Venom’s side of the story as two beings united by their hatred of Spider-Man found each other.>Before becoming the Lethal Protector, Eddie was a disgraced reporter looking for someone to blame, while the alien symbiote was still smarting from its rejection by Peter Parker. Together, they became one of Spider-Man’s most dangerous enemies. Of course, we know how that story played out from Peter and Eddie’s perspectives, but Venom: POV promises to fill in some of the blanks when it comes to the symbiote itself.>“For anyone of my generation, this story was as exciting as it gets,” Stegman said. “However, it did leave a lot of questions about Eddie that needed answering… Hope I can make that happen!”>Given Stegman’s long history with Venom, including his defining run with Donny Cates, going back to the character’s beginnings should offer an interesting opportunity to reexamine one of Marvel’s most famous villain origins.>VENOM: POV #1 (OF 5)>Written by RYAN STEGMAN>Art by CARLOS GOMEZ>Cover by RYAN STEGMAN>On Sale 12/2>THE STORY YOU KNOW…FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW! >Before he was the lethal protector we all know and love, disgraced reporter Eddie Brock and a rejected alien symbiote come together to get vengeance against Spider-Man…but this time, hear the story from Venom’s point of view!>https://aiptcomics.com/2026/08/20/marvel-venom-pov/

>>155115534If peter and mj aren't married in this im not buying it.
>>155116259oh do give it up they are undoing one more day ever.
>>155116544Oh they absolutely will! Soon they are all going to be fired and and everything since OMD will be considered and AU/False timeline.
>>155116544"They" won't, because "they" that did it are still fucking there two decades later. But in the long course of history it's inevitable it will go, it was always a retarded minority fiefdom at the top keeping the comics away from where the rest of the much more lucrative and popular IP is. They are ageing, sagging and out of ideas whilst kicked to another state for greater oversight.Whether it will matter at that point or be done by a third party licence deal after Marvel Comics is folded in, that's the question.>>155115743For the actual thread, I hope nobody gets shafted for the sake of looking better.It was a misunderstanding between both, a tragic one. The symbiotes worst innate villain traits are an invention of adaptations, but it definitely enabled Eddie whilst having no love lost for Peter trying to kill it in a panic.
>>155117150>I hope nobody gets shafted for the sake of looking better.Isn't that why they do these things? to establish new continuity and lore? hopefully its for the better like you suggest.
>>155117279It would be a bitter retcon if they are trying to make the Symbiote an uwu nothing wrong goop and playing up Peter being unreasonable. It was never that simple, it was the perfect storm (or contrived comic book plot) that gave Eddie immense power along with great hatred to influence a jilted lover goop.
>>155115534What are they going to retcon this time?
>>155117343Well with immense power comes immense responsibility.
I don't have high hopes. Pages will be wasted on scenes tying back to knullshit, Stegman isn't a writer (I mean it will probably be shallow and just be inoffensive), and I'm not even sure if Gomez's art will improve if given a mini-series rather than an ongoing. He can do great art but Idk if it's the time, the pay, or incompetent colorists but his art has been lacking impact lately. Also Stegman's art has had really bland posing and awkward faces as well. Kinda sad, I'd rather see Gomez's art when Stegman used to be pretty good. Maybe he just hasn't been having good art/composition ideas lately but still has the skill/talent. Like that cover in OP is just fucking bland. Not even something beyond the same 300 pose and awkward pose for Venom? Ugh.
>>155116259marywhorecucks lmao
>>155115743The symbiote was given a pre-battle world backstory about it's two previous hosts before Peter butit was never explained how it got to battle world.Maybe there will be answers to that here?
Hey Stegman, screencap my post >>155119720 and post it on Xitter or Blue Sky or whatever and see if people agree. You posted that one anon that one time, so how about some actual criticism?
>>155119720Carlos Gomez will become incredibly powerful once Marvel finally lets him draw Peter and MJ married again.
>>155115534So how much of a gay bottom is the symbiote characterized as?
>>155120742The symbiote is obviously female. She is letting MJ top her currently, so she's still a gay bottom, just in a different way.
>>155120602He's in it for the long haul then, as we have at least a decade of BND bastards dragging their schmeat until the Brevoort mandate is finally taken out back and shot. I do have faith though, especially in light of the move and the Shogun going home.>>155120768MJ is the worlds biggest sub screaming sub energy and this doesn't get brought up enough by Felicia.
>>155115534they're going to retcon it so The Beyonder actually had the Symbiote on Battle World to experiment with fate so whoever the true host of it in the future will become the King in Black
>>155115534Exciting!
>>155121475Doubt it, they already revealed before that the Beyonders were testing the symbiote during Secret Wars and considering whether or not they should consider to wipe the enitre race
>>155115534>Written by RYAN STEGMANWait, what? Is this the first time?
>>155122357More like Ryam Smegman.
>>155115534Hopefully this is cool. I like the premise.
>>155115743You forgot the part where he banged black cat with it on
>>155116544In the new MJ book it was them as married in the past...I don't think Dan Slott knew that when I asked him who was blocking them being married again Marvel Management vs Disney execs.
>>155119913you shouldn’t have outed yourself as a nonreading crossboarding tourist
>>155124483Disney execs couldn't give a fuck, it's just a very disgruntled and now very demoralized Marvel Management being shipped to Japan and now LA en-masse.It's definitely curtains on this long and shit era, whether next one will be any better means you have faith in the mouse.Which, as hilarious as it is to say, I have more faith in the mouse to at least give a serviceable product than the Shogun, Brevoort and Lowe.
>>155116698you haven't heard yet have you? theyt are cetain whispers going on that kevin smith will be the new writer of the ASM and once he take over the title you know what will hapen then don't you? Oh yes he will kill off or write off Mary Jane for sure and then he will revive Gwen Stacy think this a shipost anon well think again.
>>155124511It's curtains on one and a beginning for another boring shit era with Wacker.
>>155125008Hey gwenschizo, learn to type not like a Pajeet and maybe you'll not having your mother raped in her sleep tonight. Think this is a shitpost? Think again, do the needful and consume the diarrhea slurry, for your meals today.
>>155125295this not a joke kevin smith will take over the book and very now say goodbye to Mary jane nowhahahaha
>>155125322Hahaha you forget but I already raped your mother, had the last word, and did the needful until I acquired 100 billion izzat. Now you are a filthy dhalit, who enjoys excrement.
>>155115534This is so interesting.
>>155115534This is so uninteresting.
>>155123341Holy kek
>>155126490>>155127215Both true.
