As much as I kind-of wish they'd left it at this story with the Venom concept/character - complete with never even really calling it 'Venom' because it makes absolutely no sense here - they really knocked this one out of the park; it's a really good example of what they could do with the Ultimate Universe if they really put their mind to it. No 'lethal protector' nonsense, no eating brains, no violent 90's anti-hero nonsense, just a big, ugly monster with the real depth coming from Eddie, whose.. Hate of Peter in 616 never really made much sense to me.
