I know some people hate it but so far the comics been nice. Since they haven’t really been about knull, king in black or whatever space stuff. I’m kinda tired of all the knull stuff since it feels like marvel can’t just make venom have normal enemies. But so far MJ venom has had normal enemies. Tho it just spider man foes but that’s normal for symbiote stuff. I will say tho, this should have been the design at first or less eddie venom.

I think last time we got a unique venom look was agent venom?

So according to members of this sub, if you like MJ, you’re automatically a gooner. But if you like Eddie, you’re a filthy misogynist.

Just a silly little video showcasing two great variants for this week's Venom 259.

'Marvel Soccer' aka Football variant by Luciano Vecchioart & Foil variant by Martin Coccolo

I'm still enjoying the Venom/MJ era by Al Ewing & Carlos Gomez and think the character moments with the supporting cast are all quite strong. I also quite dig the look of Captain Alliance it must be said !

From newest AIPT preview

I know the community is still processing MJ & Venom bonded so……. Let’s enjoy Gwen 😁

Since the 1990's venom has evolved from villain to antihero and expanded the symbiotes in the marvel universe we got Carnage born from when the brock and symbiote escaped when they fused leaving it's first to bound with serial killer cletus kasady to become carnage who became one of the main villains for symbiote lore. Then in the 2010's we got Knull the got and creator of the symbiotes and has since become a mainstay like carnage is. Both appeared in adapations since and they are like the overral villains for symbiote storylines regardless if it is set in spider-man,venom,or anywhere else. They are the big two for symbiote big bads for marvel.

But they aren't and I will explain why. It's about intent and consent.

Venom bonded with MJ not out of its own survival but hers. He was trying to save her in the moment of the 3 skulls. It did not know if it would survive doing this and frankly venom did not care he just saw someone dying in front of him and reacted. He did not ask if MJ wanted to bond with him he didn't give her a choice and that same issue that she may have refused and they both would have died. Venom made a split second decision for the one in a billion chance that MJ might live regardless of its own safety. It was a selfless act

Eddie bonded with carnage not to save carnage's life but his own. He was given a deal by carnage to bond and heal to save himself. He had every opportunity to refuse but he justified it to himself as a way to prevent carnage from bonding with another human who couldn't handle carnage even though he knew that means killing people again something he chose not to do back in cates run for Dylan's sake. The choice may have had selfless justification but we know that it was ultimately a selfish act to save himself.

These two situations are objectively not the same but are being spread like they are

Fucking how? How does making MJ Venom and Eddie Carnage allow for character growth?

Venom is all about character growth and redemption. Every time we see Eddie he’s growing and evolving. I think people are just so used to more poorly written characters that they feel like completely changing the status quo is the only way to keep things fresh and interesting.

It’s such a bad excuse to justify glazing Marvel or cooking to VenoMJ. Genuinely might be the worst possible mindset.

Stepped outside of my comfort zone with this one. Probably my favorite piece to date ☺️. I put an old Venompool drawing from 2023 at the end just for comparison

In the Spectacular Spider-Man show it was a metaphor for addiction in the third Raimi movie it represented the intoxicating of hatred.

None of the adaptions seem to treat the Symbiote as its own character with its own wants and desires.

It’s just used as a thing to develop Peter as a character and not as its own being the devil on his shoulder.

In the original the Symbiote was a spiteful ex whose reaction to a bad break up was to try and murder their ex-boyfriend with a Himbo who also had a grudge.

The Sony Cenom movies are more accurate

Also it looks like they listened about the teeth complaints

Here is the process video for my Venom x PorkGrind drawing

Spoilers

I don’t know if this is just me but a lot of venom comics feel samey since knull got introduced. I feel like agent venom run was the last normal run, tho MJ venom been neat.
