Venom War #1: "Are You Ready?"

[alliterator]

"Venom and his hosts have a degree of inherent unpredictability - not to mention antisociability - that makes for all manner of thrill-power, and also a fair amount of gritty character drama as various humans have to work out their relationships with this alien goo-beast. (And the many other alien goo-beasts he brings along for the ride.)"
-- Al Ewing


Eddie Brock has returned from the Garden at the End of Time and is demanding two things: his son, Dylan, and his Other, Venom. Unfortunately, Venom has left Dylan. Where is it now?

Well...



When Peter discovers the Venom symbiote in his closet, he decides to have a little chat with it.






And now for something completely different: Venom Horse!

"Pretends to be a faithful copy, but no true representation is taking place.
Dylan Brock is the child of a god alien and a symbiote god."

Sensing heavy shade coming from that horse.
(And does it not presuppose that Dylan was claiming to be a faithful copy in the first place?)

Ooh, feeling bad for an alien goo monster. That's some writing there.
Also, Peter displaying even moderate signs of being a functional human adult is always appreciated.

Please let Al Ewing write Spider-Man. Or Gail Simone or... anyone other than the chain of weird man-children he's had for the last 15 years.

Also shoot Joe Quesada into the sun. Is even still at Marvel? Shoot him into the sun regardless.

Given the way Spider-Man has gone for the last fifteen years, can't help but feel that if Ewing did get put on the title whatever's going on there would claim him as well.
(I don't believe in curses, but if it turned out the Spidey office was cursed, it wouldn't exactly come as a surprise.)
Best if he stays well clear.
