Venom #8 - "Time and the Conqueror"

[laughing_tree]

But there is that thing when you’re dealing with these giant shared universes that have been contributed to by literally thousands of people, it does just become this gestalt. I guess to swing it back to Venom, it becomes almost this unconscious thing, this kind of… I don’t want to get Jungian about it because I think there are too many people that misquote Jung, but that thing where it becomes this collective unconscious of all of these people going to their own wells, putting their own spin on other people’s. When so much of Marvel is coming out from Stan Lee in the ’60s to this whole bunch of people who were doing a lot of drugs in the ’70s, all getting their giant metaphors for their thoughts and their anxieties and their beliefs and interpersonal systems, and then the next generation makes them fight. -- Al Ewing

Of course Kang would shape a helpful device to look like a sword.

"As you know, Edward, first prize is a unified Space Empire. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of Time Swords. Third prize is I kill you."

"Uh...what's your name again?"

"Fuck you, that's my name! You know why, Mister? Cause you rode a grunt soldier's War-Symbiote to get here tonight, and I'm head of the entire goddamn Conqueror fleet. That's my name!"

(He flips over a clipboard.)

"A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Conquering. Always be Conquering! ALWAYS BE CONQUERING!!!"
