Rabbit's first set of posts- gorgeous art, but so d@mn slashy; too slashy for me. That was VERY overt, those two embraces. Can't believe you missed it- and the second one's called "branding," or something, isn't it? Well, branding has a specific context, one I think the artist is using here.
I love the work visually, but in terms of narrative content, I respectfully decline to consider that interp of the charactors.
Now, substitute a female for either charactor there, and I'm sold completely.
Hmm, who should Venom be holding captive...Patricia!
Who should be holding Spidey captive...well, I'd like to see more female villains. Really, I'm at a loss, here.

No, her name was Robertson. But the host of the new Venom vs Carnage symbiote is Pat something.

Be sure to get the "Run" trade too, which makes "Twist" make a lot more sense, as I recently discovered. And now that I've read Run, I'm probably going to go back and get the first TPB for this series, too. [and luckily, Run is out now and you can read it before you read Twist, if you're so inclined. I got my copy of Run off eBay and paid I think, $14.00 for it inlcuding shipping - it lists for 19.99. I love eBay.]

I enjoyed Run a lot more than I thought I would, Wolverine notwithstanding. The big fly in the ointment with this series is the craptastic, pestilential artwork of that Hererra guy, I am sorry, he is my second least-fav. comic artist ever and this work just reminds me why that is so. Luckily its balanced a bit by Medina's art; his people have sort of funny-looking faces, but he does a mean Venom.

Sure wish I had time to develop my fan-art and fic ideas right now. :(

Sorry to change subjects here...

One thing that's always bugged me, is how people have gone, until the cancer thing was 'revealed' (it was bull****, Brock's been without the symbiote on and off over the years, he would be dead), "He just lost his job, that's no reason to hate Spider-Man like he does!"

Losing his job only eh?

Let's see...

1. Eddie Brock's reputation was forever stained, and he'd almost assurably never get another job as a reporter
2. He lost his job
3. In losing his job he would soon loose his apartment
4. As far as he saw it, these events would also stop him from being able to get back together with his wife, another major blow.
5. He'd probably be disliked all around the city for what he'd done.

Gee, just his job eh?

*cough*

People just dont look at things through the right perspective...

=== === ===

Oh, and about the punch through the chest...

I think the author was just being DBZ styled :P

Venom_uk
10-25-2004, 01:06 PM
Also, Eddie was never close to his Father & everything he did was to try & impress him. Thats why he became a journalist in the first place. When Eddie broke the news about the 'Sin-eater' story & he became a 'hero' for awhile, his Father started to come around & like his only son. But once Spider-man expossed the truth & Eddies story was proven to be false, Eddies Father dissowened him & said he never wanted to see him again, he was a disgrace ect ect. Or words to that effect anyway.

So yeah when people b***h about Venom only going after him because he lost him his job, thats not 100% true IMO. :)

Personally I think they look for reasons to hate him due to bad writing.

Whenever Venom has been overexposed, and written badly, I don't blame Venom, I blame Marvel, I blame the editors, and I blame the writers.

I hope we get Brock back in the saddle soon, this "new" venom is a chump.

To me, he's the Jason Macandale of Venom.

Jason was the supposed "Hobgoblin". Roderick Kingsley kicks ass, no one can replace him. Jason was a chump, and was killed by Roddy and replaced, the real Hobgoblin returned, because he's a better character.

Angelo is no Venom, he's a chump, just like Macandale. I'm hoping for his demise to come sooner however.

It too Roderick Kingsley 14 years to come back... *becomes frightened*

'Hunger' is the story arc from when Jenkins first started on Spectacular Spider-man I think. Its about Eddie having cancer & how the suit is trying to leave eddie & re-join with Spider-man 'cos it's him that its always wanted.

"The Hunger" was a terrible storyline that has a big nasty plothole in it due to continuity.

Brock has Cancer, and has had cancer since before he got the symbiote, he needs it to survive. Thing is, Brock has been separeted on and off with the symbiote over the years, thus, this makes no sense, as Eddie would have died a great number of times over based on this

He was never seperated for a great deal of time though from what I can remember. We don't really know how long Eddie was apart from the symbiote in 'hunger' could have been a few months & the cancer would have had time to get a good hold on Eddie maybe...

Honestly, the cancer thing was only put there because too many people whined that Venom didn't have good enough reasons to hate Spiderman, peroid.

I think that he would be showing more weakness right away without the symbiote if he had terminal cancer.

Remember, Venom, even without the suit, took on 5 police officers. If he had terminal cancer, not even in the last stages of development, he would not be able to pull off such a feet.

Eddie inherited spider-strength and spidey's healing abilities from the symbiote. But it only lasts so long without him wearing it, since the symbiote "replenishes" his strength and so forth. Hence, I'm OK with the cancer idea.

One problem with Brock is that every time they try to do something different with him, they screw it up, and he ends up going back to hating Peter and just becomes the hunting down evil guy.

I'm using Venom in a fanfic of mine at the moment, in the X-men actually. Know how I've decided to change him? Brock's tired of all the bull****, and just wants to retire, buy a nice place in Hawaii, and just tell the world to piss off. Sadly, for that he needs money.

He's currently trying to collect the bounty that's on the main character's head :D

I'm using Venom in a fanfic of mine at the moment, in the X-men actually. Know how I've decided to change him? Brock's tired of all the bull****, and just wants to retire, buy a nice place in Hawaii, and just tell the world to piss off. Sadly, for that he needs money.

He's currently trying to collect the bounty that's on the main character's head :D
Sounds better the selling your symbiote any day :up: :D lol

Oh, it gets funnier too.

You see, Brock tends to get frustrated...

Well, you see, the mutant he's trying to bring in for the money, is... well, pretty evenly matched with Eddie.

Brock starts to hate him more and more as the story goes on, because he can never quite get the upper hand.

So, like it always ends up, instead of wanting the money, he just starts wanting him dead, because the entire ordeal starts to eat away at him.

Roderick Kingsley. He could fit SO well. He could frame Harry as the Hobgoblin (like he did ned leeds).

Venom is one of Spidey's greatest Villains for multiple reasons. Powers are definetaly one of them, but also the fact he's been able to screw with his mind. Though I must admit he's become blander over the years, but that's due to poor story archs and over exposure.

The Hobgoblin is probably the most tactically sound villain Spider-man has ever face. It took 14 years for them to unmask for he REALLY was. He duped Parker for 14 years, I don't care HOW good you are, that's impressive

Oc for obvious reasons.

Green Goblin has just become boring... as EVERYTHING is his fault now.

I would be surprised if he was now linked to Parker getting the symbiote in Secret Wars, JUST for the reason of them using him for an excuse for everything.

Who do you guys think would be the best author to handle Brock btw?

Well you know, I would have said Millar, but look what he's doing :(

I would like for Quesada to leave so we can get Geof Johns [the guy currently writing "The Flash"] back at Marvel; I would like to see him work on this problem. Johns writes good villains. Ed Brubaker? I'd read that for sure.

To be honest, I would like to see some better talent on these books in general, writing-wise. From what I hear everyone writing an X-book is a loon....don't want any of them. I wish more mainstream authors could be tempted to do an arc or two. Can you imagine if someone like Thomas Harris did an arc? I am dreaming!

I would be interested in what Michelinie had to say about Brock these days as well. TOO MANY PEOPLE have their hands in the pot, so to speak. We need to strip Brock down, take him back to what makes him cool, refine his motivations.

Well... I finished chapter 3, the entire chapter is basically an ass kicking contest with Brock and Darkholme.

Just to let you know, since I haven't fully explained Mathew's list of abilities yet-

He can press 10 tons
He has wings and a tail
Hyper sensitive hearing
Enhanced speed
Evolution and Adaption- This is a complicated ability, just consider it on the lines of, whatever doesn't kill him, makes him stronger, faster, and smarter. He also adapts to situations more quickly.

I've recently been thinking about how people downplay Brock's motivation "get a new job" they say. Well I was walking when this came to me.
In Leathal Protector we get an insight of Brock's family life. Ed's mom died in childbirth and since then no matter how great he did in school- nothing from his dad. Doing great on his sports teams-nothing from dad. I don't remember it well but I even think that's why he got into body building. Anyway I recall something like during the Sin Eater even/thing his father was finally begining to be proud of him....till it flopped. Think about it. Brock didn't just lose his job. He lost complete credibility( Hi name's Brock...I'd like to apply for this job...yea I worked at the Globe....hello? Hello?" <---no job in his line of work ever again. AND most importantly he now is permanently distanced from his dad; not only does this look bad for the family but it's also like "You know what....you've never been good enough, but just as you were getting so close to being worth something son....you blew it all with this story. Get out of my sight" So it's not just his job....he's lost everything. That's just my input...anyone agree/disagree want to say anything?

Langoth

He also lost ANY chance of getting back with his wife Dais, and with no job, he'd quickly find money tight as well.

I don't think your writing a comprehensive profile on Brock can restore Venom's dignity, sorry, atleast not the dignity of being as evil as he was in the begining.
Also the new guy ain't an imposter he's just the new guy.
David Michelinie intended for the symbiote to move host fairly regularly after its initial move in ASM#400 that never happened.

It's not a comprehensive profile. It's more like "Spider-Man: Blue," a remembrance of when Venom was cool and not...crappy-looking.

And the "new guy" isn't Venom, as far as I'm concerned.

Symbiotica
11-01-2004, 04:36 PM
Personally, I don't give a damn what Michelinie -intended- to do with the symbiote back in '89 or whatever. That does not change what actually ended up happening, and it doesn't have a thing to do with Wannabe now.

Or you could call him an imposter.... either way works.

Enjoy The Great Pretender while you got him - smart money says he won't be around long.

I think the fact that fans are resistant to Wannabe has some people kinda bugged, if you'll excuse the pun. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. You can lead Venom fans to New! Improved! Venom, but you cannot make them accept him. Anyone remember the New Coke debacle...? :gg:

Venom Bio from the “Spider-man Encyclopedia” PART 1

Real Name:
Edward Charles Brock

First Appearance:
Amazing Spider-man #299 (1988)

Height:
6’3”
Weight:
260lbs
Eye Colour:
Blue
Hair Colour:
Reddish-Blond

Devout Catholic Eddie Brock entered what he thought was an empty church seeking absolution from God for his forthcoming mortal sin: suicide. Before arriving at this desperate point in life, Eddie had been a successful columnist for the Daily Globe. When a man approached him & confessed to the killings committed by the ‘Sin-eater’, Eddie knew he had a career-defining story on his hands. Protecting the killer’s identity under his Constitutional right to do so, Eddie wrote a series of articles detailing their dialogues.

Eddie’s articles were a hit, & the climax of his exclusive story sold out immediately. But after its publication, Spider-man identified the true killer; the man who had confessed to Eddie was revealed to be a fraud. Fired from his job, disowned by his father & deserted by his wife, Eddie was forced to scratch a living writing venomous stories for scandal sheets. Blaming Spider-man for his ruin, Eddie focused on developing his physique & fixated on his hatred for the wall-crawler. But he found solace in neither. Only one, final option beckoned.

Just before Eddie entered the peaceful Our Lady of Saints Church to beg God’s forgiveness for his planned suicide, Spider-man had rid himself of the parasitic alien Symbiote that had masqueraded as his black costume by subjecting them both to the overwhelming sound of the church’s bells. Amid the pealing, ear-splitting cacophony, the Symbiote realized Spider-man would never act as its host. Perhaps having learned a measure or human empathy during its time with Peter Parker, the Symbiote saved Spider-man from painful death by dragging him to safety. The wall-crawler staggered away, assuming the parasite had crawled off to die. Instead, the weak & dying creature entered the church proper – where it eventually encountered the broken, despairing Eddie. With nothing left to lose, Eddie gave himself over. What emerged from the terrible union of lost souls was something else. Something evil. Something unstoppable. Venom. & any humanity the creature had learned from Spider-man was overwhelmed in the torment of loathing that drove Eddie. Now possessing the power to destroy Spider-man, the twin minds were united in a single purpose.

Imparting to Eddie the knowledge of Spider-man’s identity, the alien could also neutralise Peter’s spider-sense – which left the web-slinger vulnerable to Venom’s attack. Stalking Spider-man from a distance, Venom threatened his life undetected – pushing Peter into the path of a subway train. Venom then approached Mary Jane Watson, terrifying her so much that Peter subsequently abandoned his black costume. The message to Peter was clear. After arming himself with a sonic blaster courtesy of the Fantastic Four, Spider-man immediately tracked down Venom. But the bond between Eddie & the Symbiote was nearly perfect, & Spider-man could not defeat the alien without killing its host in the process – something the hero was not prepared to do. With Venom seemingly in command, the webslinger eventually managed to trick his adversary into expelling so much organic webbing that he became physically weakened. Defeating his foe, Spider-man had him imprisoned in the Vault, a high-security holding facility for Super-villains.

Part 2 coming tomorrow...

OK Rabbit, heres Part 2 of the Venom Bio I promised you, enjoy :) ...

Using the Symbiote at act as a fallen prison officer, Eddie escaped from captivity. He was recaptured when Spider-man persuaded the Symbiote to leave Venom & return to him. Eddie again managed to gain freedom, this time by using the Symbiote to appear as a cold layer of skin that convinced authorities he had killed himself – but Styx’s plague virus rendered the Symbiote comatose. Without his alien other half, Eddie was placed in a conventional prison, from which he was later rescued by the revived Symbiote. During the escape, the Symbiote left behind the spawn that would transform Eddie’s psychopathic cellmate, Cletus Kasady, into the deadly Carnage. Following that escape, Spider-man & Venom wound up on a deserted island. The wall-crawler faked his own death, leaving Eddie with little reason to return to civilization. But Peter was forced to return to Venom after Carnage embarked on a bloody rampage, asking him to help bring his offspring to justice. Unexpectedly, Venom was willing to do so. For all his bloodthirsty hatred of Spider-man, Eddie bears no grudge against society in general. To the contrary, Venom sees himself as a lethal protector of the innocent. Their collaboration helped defeat Carnage, but Spider-man reluctantly went back on his word & helped the Fantastic Four capture Venom.

Venom has taken extreme steps to protect those he saw as blameless & equally violent measures to punish those he viewed as evil – first & foremost, Carnage. When Venom’s spawn gathered a ragtag army of criminally insane beings to spread his message of chaos & hostility, Venom sided with Spider-man against the evils of Carnage, Shriek, Doppelganger & Carrion. While at times Venom & Spider-man accept each other as necessary evils & join forces to fight clear & present danger, Venom’s deadly instincts began over time to dominate his desire to protect the innocent. Seeing potential in this deadly demon, the government attempted to employ Venom to intimidate J. Jonah Jameson, whose editorials spoke out against sensitive policy. When it became clear that for Venom there existed no line between intimidation & murder, only Spider-man’s intervention saved the publisher form death. Abandoned by the government & suffering partial amnesia after nearly dying in an explosion blast, Eddie appeared to have forgotten Spider-man’s true identity & lost his grip on the last threads of his sanity. Even after Venom joined the Sinister Six, he rapidly turned against his teammates – nearly killing the Sandman & Electro. In his unhinged state, Venom made peace with Spider-man, Eddie attempted to return to his wife, Ann Weying. But Ann committed suicide rather then face life rather then face life with the Symbiote, leaving Eddie to once again blame Spider-man for his loss in life. With his mind & life in tatters, Venom was abducted by Senator Stewart Ward. Who forcibly separated Eddie from his Symbiote so he could perform research on the entity to help him better understand his own alien infection.

Though reunited with his Symbiote once more, it seems Brock’s increasingly damaged mind has left the bloodthirsty alien in control. Even more terrifying, fragments & offshoots of the creature have begun appearing, including one that surfaced somewhere near the Arctic Circle in North Canada. Almost certainly, these spawn will seek hosts to pursue their own inscrutable yet doubtless violent ends.

I've always thought underwater was the place for symbiotes- with the ability to be so streamlined and to push in any direction from any point on the form; it seems as if it may be their natural environment. Imagine wearing a symbiotic suit into the ocean, outswimming sharks, out-leaping dolphins, dining on sushi...mmmm...fish brains.
Also, the sex scene in the pool for Species brought symbiotes to mind.

.... I'm trying, I'm trying! I have just basic ideas for plots right now, because every 5 minutes its either some awful test or some busywork assignment, which they pass out as if we're People of Leisure, and not struggling madly to keep up w/curriculum.

I have Brock/Patricia fan-art blocked out, haven't had time to touch it since. I will be working off the underwater scene in "Twist" and hopefully this will be both beautiful and interesting. [crosses fingers]

Looking forward to semester break!
Cool, can't wait to see this nemo. If its anything like the one you did of Carnage & Shriek, I'm sure it'll be excellent :up:

Cover looks pretty good i think. lol

Yeah, he only had 2 story lines in the whole show, which sucked, but they where a good two so its not that bad I guess :)

I liked the first one more than the second. We had some realy crappy voice acting on the part of his psychiatrist for ""Venom Returns" and "Carnage, part 2" (???) They always named these episodes in such interesting ways...

What's your fav Venom animated series moment? Mine would be when they're on the subway train (Alien Costume III), Venom leaps up and says, "Ticket, please!" Spidey then responds, "Sorry Venom...but this is where you get off!" And then the bridge smacks into slobbermouth. :eek::D Cool moment, and funny, too.

Did you know that censors prohibited Spider-Man from throwing a punch? Apparently swinging into people and kicking them is a lot better...(see "Night of the Lizard")

Ah, well.

I never noticed it before but it does seem like a really strange rule, considering all the (IMO) much worse violence that we got on that show....like, oh, say....getting people hit by bridges whilst on a fast-moving train. And hurling grenades at someone (a la Hobgoblin).

They also couldn't say "kill" or "death." This is why they said "Destroy" so much, and apparently why there were so many robots in the show.

Hmmm...intersting. I knew that knowone was ever aloud to be killed onthe show, remember what they did with MJ? Ick!!! & also why Carnage drained peoples 'life force' instead of killing people out right. Damn kiddies TV shows!!! GRRRRR :mad: :p lol

Yeah, that MJ stuff was a crapshoot, IMO. Plus they cheated us out of a real ending. :mad:

Tell me about it! I'm exactly the same. I've all these cool ideas tucked away in my head, but whenever I try to let them out the transition from my mind to my sketch book is never a pretty one! :confused::(

Just ordered a few Venom back issues that I've been missing. I'm FINALLY going to get to find out how Lethal Protector finishes! Whey hey! :D

Anyway, heres what I've ordered...

VENOM LETHAL PROTECTOR #5
VENOM LETHAL PROTECTOR #6
VENOM SEPARATION ANXIETY #1
VENOM SEPARATION ANXIETY #2
VENOM SEPARATION ANXIETY #3
VENOM SEPARATION ANXIETY #4

Anyone else read 'Seperation Anxiety' or 'Lethal Protector'? If so what do you think of them. 'Seperation Anxiety' looks good (plenty of symbiotc action! :D) & 'Lethal Pro' is one of the best Venom minis that i've read so far, but I'd like to here your views on it too. :up:
