comics rock. talk about them here. now. or just go to the "corn" section and wack off. i'll understand. i'll just sit here and read my spider-man comics.
There comes a time when even a storied supervillain needs a do-over, and that moment has arrived for Spider-Man arch-nemesis Venom. Well, sorta. The extraterrestrial symbiote — which most famously glommed onto embittered Spider-friend Eddie Brock — is classically depicted as a onyx-colored, cuspated shape-shifter. But Marvel decided the dude needed to lighten up, so they created an additional symbiote as a visual foil to their old standby: Here's your first glimpse at the new, angelically hued...Anti-Venom.
What the heck's an Anti-Venom? We'll find out when The Amazing Spider-Man No. 568 — the first of a pivotal six-issue arc called ''New Ways to Die,'' written by Dan Slott (Avengers: The Initiative) and illustrated by John Romita Jr. (Daredevil: The Man Without Fear) — hits stores in August.
You get the feeling the Spidey Editorial office is now sliding down the inside of a stainless steel wood chipper and these are their fingernail marks desperately clawing at anything to avoid getting minced into bloody pulp?
God forbid Anti-Venom NEVER would have happened if Peter and MJ were still married...
Since this was Spidey-specific, I posted about it at vyn's other site, where I basically pointed out this is something like the seventh or eight "son of Venom."

I've read what you've read, and, unless one of the writers or editors is working on Wikipedia, that's total speculation. Eddie's apparently in the story, but no one knows in what capacity. It could be as simple as Peter trying to find out who this is and checking in on Eddie.

Can somebody explain to me the importance of this coffee shop that's shown up in all of two issues of Brand New Day that required bring Harry Osborn back from the dead to run it? I would LOVE to have been in the editorial office the day that decision was made.
Quesada: So then there's this coffee shop. And Peter's gonna buy coffee there now that he's single. Now that he's single he'll be drinking coffee.
Steve Wacker: He couldn't buy coffee when he was marrie--
Quesada: SHUT THE FUCK UP WACKER. I WAS TALKING. So he's single and he's gonna get coffee at this coffee place.
Wacker: All the time? Like every issue?
Quesada: Well, I'm thinking at least once in the first thirty or forty issues of the BND run. Maybe twice. But its integral that he gets some coffee to illustrate his new singleness. So we need to have somebody REALLY important run the coffee shop.
Wacker: Like Aunt May?
Quesada: No it's really REALLY important coffee shop. We need HARRY OSBORN!!
Wacker: But he's dead. He died.
Quesada. I know. But this is coffee. If Peter was buying coffee from a stranger, nobody would realize he wasn't married anymore. So it's gotta be Harry!
Wacker: Uhhh.. I really don't follow that logic...
Quesada: GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WACKER. IF YOU SECOND GUESS ME ONE MORE TIME YOU'RE OUT ON YOUR ASS LIKE STRACYNZSKI!!!! PETER NEEDS BE SINGLE AND BUY COFFEE FROM HARRY FUCKING OSBORN SO EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BITCH MARY JANE IS GONE!!!!
Wacker: Okaaaayyyyy....
