I'm genuinely intrigued by the hook. Reminds me of Hybrid from the 90's, only Hybrid's host was just violent and vengeful while Venom's new host is a total piece of poo poo.

They don't say. At the beginning of the story, the Venom symbiote is alone and stranded in an alley. It still strongly admires Flash, so whatever caused the split wasn't Venom's idea. For all we know, Flash could be dead.

To celebrate the new Venom series, I got to be on-brand and write this baby:

We Are Venom: 40 Characters That Wore the Symbiote

I like that, but it's totally missing the time Squirrel girl beat up a venomized Nightmare.

No prob. The main idea of the new series is Venom still wants to do good and help the world, but his new host (another soldier who lost pieces of himself in war) is a total monster and has the willpower to take control while Venom can only beg him to stop.

Don't worry, it's as valid as Galactus, because it's not really the symbiote, it's Nightmare inside SG's head.

Plus it's a long set-up to a scene where SG basically wins by throwing up the horns in a lightning storm.

Since soldier-boy needs to go to sleep at times, what excuse do they find for the symbiote not simply running away at night?

So this was a twist that came from miles away. And there's no reason for Peter to not immediately beat the poo poo out of Ben for digging up Uncle Ben's grave. I can't even imagine he would entertain the notion to resurrect Uncle Ben for even a second.

I am going to just say that over elaborate setup's that result in lines like "This suit isn't red. It's more Scarlet..." are one of the things I love most about comics.

Dragging characters through the mud is all Slott does these days when it comes to Spider-Man.

Yeah I don't think I'm going to be picking up a 616 Spider-Man book at all in the foreseeable future, not when there's a superior Spider-Man book (no pun intended) available.

Timing-wise, this would probably mean Clone Conspiracy is the last big thing and there'll probably just be a couple of issues to cap off the run after it?

Next thing is apparently 'Parker vs. Osborn' which is wiping Parker Industries off the board. So yeah, I guess that could be it.

Kaine back to dying (i guess? not following exactly), Ock has an out to come out of this alive and Peter no longer owning a company, other other toys Slott's been putting back to how they were? Some that still need to be put back in the last second like Bendis reviving Wasp at the end of his run?

Kaine has his degeneration again but I'm honestly not clear why the gently caress they'd bring him back just to kill him off again, it seems entirely pointless so I'm expecting some kind of out.

It's kind of weird his degeneration is back when Slott himself cured him of it back in Spider-Island before he ever got entangled with The Other. Unless he caught the Carrion virus or whatever, I've not been paying much attention.

The explanation is that Kaine's death in Spiderverse killed the Other but not Kaine himself and for some reason that brought back the degeneration. It really doesn't make a lot of sense.

I just really hope they don't kill him off again. He's a really good Scarlet Spider. :smith:
