We're back in the 90s with the worst portrayal of Venom, anti-hero. I mean isn't that what Eddie Brock the Anti-Venom is for now? Um being the hero Venom while whomever can be Venom can be an evil bastard?

It's just a new character using an established brand name probably. We don't know anything about this yet.

You are okay with Venom having an ongoing. I thought you of all people be against it? My world is shattered.

Marvel Tsunami wave 1.

Funny thing: I just saw the old talking Venom action figure. "I want to eat your brains!"

I hate Venom, I don't like Remender, this idea sounds dumb; this is an easy no-buy for me

I just don't understand why doing this a second time to Spider-Man's #3 big villain by Osborn and Ock?

Venom is a fine character. A good writer can make any book worth reading. There isn't anything inherently wrong with Venom as an antihero, besides what us readers bring into it.

While I dislike the concept of Venom, Remender means it might be good, as long as it's nothing like Franken-Castle.

I just find the issue with, then what the hell was the entire point of making Brock Anti-Venom since he was technically this already?

I hope the first scene of this series is the new Venom eating Old Hobgoblin's decapitated head.

I think it would set the tone for the series.
