No, but why would the Skrulls oblige? If he's about to kill them, why are they granting him a final request? That's ridiculous. Why wouldn't every Skrull tell him to gently caress right off?

He probably didn't ask nicely.

That is just a promotional image, one of the first drawings the artist had done of him. He was drawn differently in the actual issues.

I made the mistake of tracking it down. Oh god. I still don't think the artist has ever seen an aboriginal. But for reference, they do not look like ... whatever Kaboomerang looks like. Based on the art, he's seems to be latino or hispanic.

It's a hosed up plot beat, and a pretty juvenile attempt to make Venom edgier, but I can't help but smirk a little at the panel where Venom reveals himself.

It was a pretty fun series, among the best Avengers stuff Bendis wrote.

Thank you, sir. Makes a bit more sense in context. And actually kinda belongs in the thread, cause I got a kick out of it just being so ridiculous. I don't like giant Venom. I know it varies, but I kinda like him to look pretty similar to Pete, just jacked instead of all sleek and flippy. Seeing Venom be like twice the size of the Skrull makes him look like Hulk with a sick tongue.

At the end of the issue Osborn give Gargan a drug that restores the symbiote to it's original form.

We're talking about DC Comics, here. They've adopted a very egalitarian stance towards limb loss. Villians, heroes, bystanders, anybody can do it!

The next gritty reboot will have Arms Fallout Boy, whose superpower is surviving longer than most people do with leukemia from exposure to poorly-shielded fissile material in Soviet-era nukes abandoned in Kazakhstan.
