Venom #253

The aim of the game, the goal -- and I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it, I don’t think it’s within my powers -- is to turn Paul into a sort of adorable sitcom dweeb. To kind of defang him, to remove his power, to remove this kind of toxic power he has over the readership. -- Al Ewing

" Is it ' Yes, Madame '? Cause I think that's a Cynthia Rothrock movie. "

This was great, I loved it.

Motto.

Great art on this series. I feel like the scene with them communicating in written word would really throw some artists, but they put this together brilliantly.

Could do with a little less vacuum wrapping on the chest areas, though.

If y' want Paul to not be toxically annoying and unlikable, making him a fan of Ancient Earth's most foolish program is not the way to go.

Deep cut of Ewing including that A.I.M. leader Superia tried to bump off waaaaaaay back in Gruenwald's Cap run.

And the nice touch of leaving wiggle room for Monica possibly surviving Masque should someone (such as himself) want to bring her back.
Just because you've been caught in a massive explosion don't mean anything, unless there's a body.
Probably just really badly burned, at most.

MJ and Flash...
... I mean, I'd vastly prefer MJ with Peter (if he can act like a functional adult for five seconds), but... somehow, I'm not against MJ and Flash.
(ow. Oof...)
She could definitely do worse.

The A.I.M. goons being supportive of MJ's fake argument is also great.
Apparently MM's got a whole bunch of Secret Hospital fans for tech support.
