So my 3 different covers for Venom #31 arrived couple hours ago, package was delayed due to One of the comics in the batch being massively delayed! Gotta say Skan’s a genius!

Seriously, in the comics, when was the last time trying to claim the Klyntar as property or weapons or something or experiments went well? Most of the Hosts for such things, like Flash, do better away from that. He and Andi and others have been assaulted for having their Symbiotes stolen (Spiderman has a bad track record in many ways of trying to deal with them).

Many times they make their behavior worse or unleash dangers or choose bad Hosts for them. And the many times in prison experimenting or mistreating or being very careless around them leads to problems (Carnage alone is a sad list).

As has been pointed out, nothing holds them down forever. A race named after a cage they made of themselves for Knull who defies bein caged.

Trying to exterminate them (Mr Fantastic in Mania's origin story, Alchemax, Friends of Humanity) lead to much collateral damage.

The only one defiance of this is Dr Stevens, who actually cares for them and doesn't want to mistreat them and use them for good.

Drawing one of my favorite Venom covers!

I’ve read a little bit of Donny Cate’s run and King in Black, I enjoyed them both a lot. (I also read Extreme Carnage but I’m not on about that)

Should I collect Cate’s run in tradeback or get other trades? (which I’m asking recs for)

Just wanted to show my project 😁, have a base printing that will hold the skull. And I still need to sand and paint all of it. That being said should the skull be painted normal venom colors or since its a skull would it be better painted as like old bone?

Is that they represent the worst qualities of Venom as a symbiote. For instance:

• Carnage- Represents the bloodlust of Venom.
• Riot- Represents the chaotic nature of Venom.
• Phage- Represents the anger or violent nature of Venom.
• Lasher- Represents the creativity, crafty, or adaptive nature of Venom.
• Agony- Represents the addictive nature of Venom.
• Scream- Represents the voices, and the motivations of the Venom symbiote.

Eddie mentioned that these symbiotes are beyond saving. When they were born and extracted from Venom. It changed Venom for the better. It turned Venom to become the Lethal Protector.

That's why Eddie created the perfect offspring. Sleeper. Who somehow represents the heroic nature of Venom.

The final step of the evolutionary ladder. It all makes sense now.

So I just recently found out Eddie's son Dylan took over as the new venom, questioning if this is a good legacy character or just another attempt to replace a classic character with some agenda? It would be nice to see a legitimate legacy character from Marvel.
