Flash's character will always be the absolute best any storyline can get out of Venom without huge changes and I hope they stick to it.

The reverse is also true, Venom getting the most out of Flash, which is why I think it was such a great pairing. It physically rehabs Flash in a way that isn't a cheap magical hand wave, it fulfills his Spider-Man/hero envy, and it utilizes his military background in a way other than making him a sad sack vet. They had basically turned him into mid-movie Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump. I remember reading the comic where he was framed for the accident and crippled, thinking they may as well have just killed him. Edit: Wait, conflating two different events here. I meant framed for accident and left comatose. Losing his legs came later. Lobok fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Oct 27, 2016 |

Did Flash have a military background prior to being paired with Venom?

Military experience is also what they used to transition Flash from a huge piece of poo poo to a well-rounded guy and genuine friend of Peter's.

If you want Venom as a hero (even a kind of hosed up hero) then I genuinely think Flash Thompson is the best choice for it. He's a genuinely strong reflection of Peter in a lot of ways, so I'm glad to hear it,

It's either that or regress him back to the goopy black jerkoff that Spider-Man tussles with.

+1 for this month's Ms Marvel should have been a multi-issue arc, because it was good and sort of Ms Marvel story I want in her solo series. She's in enough other books/teams now to have other types of stories elsewhere.

Speaking of Venom hosts, I thought Anti-Venom was a great direction for Brock. He's been a deranged do-gooder for so long that making him a twisted white knight was a cool idea. Gave Brock new potential. Oh well...

It seems like it wrapped up a bit suddenly, but at the same time, it feels like they plan to revisit it sometime in the future.

Mockingbird was the most fun comic I read this year, and this was a pretty good year in general comics-wise (sucked pretty hard otherwise).

On a good note, a poo poo ton of people came out in support of Cain. I guess we need to put trigger warnings on comics that say "Trigger warning if you're a giant shithead this will make you angry and threaten women with rape and murder".

(Or am I comparing Marvel apples to DC oranges?) Also, is it really ever a good idea cancelling a series before the first trade is on sale in this climate? As far as we could ever know without complete sales data of course, but I'm wondering if anyone with a better understanding of the market has any insight or theories. Would the Marvel Now! relaunch timing have impacted Mockingbird? (i.e replace it with something they believe would sell more?)
