You want Venom: The Complete Collection volumes 1 and 2, both from 2015 I think. Remender's name is on the cover so you can't go wrong.

Fun fact: David Michelinie's original plan was for the symbiote to switch hosts every time it came back to torment Peter, which is probably why Eddie's motivations are kind of weak and petty for an arch-nemesis. But then Venom blew the gently caress up in popularity and Erik Larsen and the marketing department hijacked the character.

That would be cool as heck. The symbiote not triggering Peter's Spider-Sense is probably one of the coolest things about it. The idea that any person Spidey comes across could be Venom just biding its time is cool. I don't hate Eddie though, I've always liked Venom. I don't even hate the guys I kinda dunked on like Bane and Doomsday.

That looks a lot like the church from the end of the Crow, which fits being the most 90s thing ever. But Yea, maybe I was just older when Venom came out but I never cared about him, or any symbiot unless its directly dealing with Peter's relationship with it. I always find younger people like Venom, like kids who were just getting into comics when Venom was a thing. I was never a "I'm not reading that kids stuff from Marvel and DC, I'm reading Image and Vertigo", but at that point that's what I was reading. Well, less Image, more Vertigo. But Venom never really caught on.

I can't muster any excitement for this movie. I'm more worried about my lack of excitement for Incredibles 2 because the teaser is 100% baby and that is the least interesting thing they could have done. Oh hey we've waited like 15 years for this movie, but lets focus on the baby because that's the most interesting thing from the first movie, not the family dynamic and the dealing with aging.

They also played around with the idea of it being a woman who lost her baby due to traffic jam that was caused by Spider-Man fighting a villain, which also would have been more interesting.

However, it's also super dark and I could see people being upset about it, even then.

Yeah, because Venom is late eighties. Venom and Todd were the heralds of the 90's. Jim and Rob taking over the X books were the metaphorical Galactus.

I still can't believe Spiderman 3 didn't bother. Topher Grace's voice coming out of Venom unaltered is... less than menacing.

My favorite monster voice was for the Violator in the HBO Spawn series.

They could have easily went with a generic growling demon voice, but the raspy whispering is just so much more effective.

I liked Venom as a kid despite never having read any comics featuring him. It was mostly action figures and Marvel vs Capcom (I really love that "We are venom" line).

Also I read Spawn (not regularly), with singles like the early Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman-penned stuff and the 50s where it goes darker (I preferred the latter). But really it's because of the Capcom arcade game Spawn: In the Demon's Hand (which was basically a Spawn-themed Power Stone) which I played the gently caress out of...

Never even saw the movie or the cartoon.

Yeah, you're right. The suit is fine but some gold accents to make it more "waspish" would have really helped it.

The Ant Man suit was a pretty good design for a military/spy suit like it was for Pym.

The Wasp suit is a little too Mass Effect background character.
