Me am want to read Venom comic!
Why am I speaking like Bizarro? Because there’s no other logical reason that I can be excited for a book called Venom—I am clearly an inhabitant of the square backwards Bizarro World. But I am excited about the new Venom comic book by Rick Remender and Tony Moore.
Dan Slott wrote the first preview of the book in the follow up to the brilliant Amazing Spider-Man #654. Slott writes a one-shot featuring the new character as he teams up with Spider-Man before heading into his own book in March.
As you might already know, this take on the character has longtime Spidey supporting character Flash Thompson, and the web-head’s number one fan, putting on the famous symbiote under the guidance of the military who seem to believe they can control the beast. This was our first taste and so far I am pumped for this book—and I’m not a fan of Venom in the least!
Flash puts the symbiote on for the first time and it instantly grows his legs back. Then he goes into action to demonstrate what the costume can really do—my favorite line was “Check it out - - I’m Spider-Man!” (above). I dug this because Flash idolizes Spider-Man the way kids idolize Santa Claus. We’re then introduced to his first supporting character for the new book, Captain Catherine Glover. Glover has her finger on the button that will remove Venom from Flash if she feels he is losing control—unfortunately, we learn that this could be the end of Flash should she ever have to push said button.
I am a fan of taking a fresh spin on an something that seems to have lost all of its steam. The idea that the symbiote that has caused Spider-Man such a great deal of trouble for more than 20 years is being used in such a different way interest me. Click here for more details.
The Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 hits the stores this week. Venom #1 is scheduled for release on March 2nd.
