  • In the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s collapse, an ancient and primordial evil has been awakened beneath the streets of New York. And with it, something equally evil has been awakened in that most wicked of web-slingers: Venom! The symbiote may still be a Lethal Protector of innocents in New York, but this never-before-seen threat could possibly force Venom to relinquish everything it holds dear - including its human host, Eddie Brock! Two of the hottest creators in comics today, Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, join forces to deliver a Venom adventure a thousand years in the making!

    You had the question about the cancer that Eddie had in the middle and it's funny because Cates also retconned that and the symbiote actually FAKED Eddie's cancer in order to make him still need the symbiote. So Ethan was not to far off surprisingly. (Venom also fakes that his family had a history of cancer, literally making fake family members in his head to make it more convincing)

    I have the same issues with this run than I have for Snyder's Justice League. It's good, of course neither of them is bad, but in both every arc is just a one-up towards the story they seemed to have in mind in the first place. Just like every JL story is a "road to Death Metal", every Venom arc is a "road to King in Black". The constant upping the ante thing gets tiring for me, especially for this long a run.

    Hear me out...
    The original clone saga took place when Peter was in college aging him around 19/20.
    Ben Reilly returned five years later , making Parker around 25/24. During Reilly’s time as Spider-Man, Anne Weying is shot by the new sin eater and becomes she venom it is confirmed gets pregnant around this time with Dylan Brock.
    Dylan Brock is 9 years old according to the solicit for Venom Vol 4 #15 , adding the nine months of pregnancy, we can say it’s been roughly ten years since the clone saga. Making Peter Parker 34 at least.

    Let there be carnage is the perfect subtitle for the sequel to the schlocky first film, and judging by the trailer the equally schlocky second

    Wow, a Venom book that's unironically good!

      We already had that with Remender’s Venom run.

    Maximum Carnage, Absolute Carnage, EXTREME CARNAGE!!
    Also low-key, minimum carnage is kind of a cool story arc

      Also it’s been forever since I read the beginning of this run, I forgot about the klyntar being a “noble race.” Idk why that’s so funny but it is
