Alien symbiote (AKA Venom, Carnage, Alien Costume) appreciation thread

[Cavemold]

I don't think it would. He looks pretty satisfied, and his head is on fire.

He looks happy to me.

Does anybody know what comes first in Marvel continuity, the Revengers arc or Spider-Island, because New Avengers Annual came out before Spider-Island with Anti-Venom, but then Eddie loses the symbiote in Spider-Island. But the next issue featuring the Revengers will come out in 2012.
Any opinions?

I'm not sure. It looks like Anti-Venom may be coming back in the new Carnage series, so the continuity might not be as messed up as you think.

Revengers comes first. Then Fear Itself. Then Spider Island. Then X-Men: Schism.

Some of my favorite Venom related covers:

Those are some good covers, though those with "sinner" instead of "winner" is so 90's it is painful.

[Venomous Mask]

Sinner #1 was actually the first Venom solo comic that I ever saw, back in 95. I thought it was so awesome and intense at the time (although I almost didn't recognize Eddie with his long hair). It does show its age, but it's probably one of the better Venom stories (too many of them were based on crossovers.

[Venomous Mask]

I don't like how he did Venom with Brock (though his take on the #316 comic is amazing), but Humberto Ramos' depiction of the Venom symbiote is amazing:

[Assassin Spider]

That last one is pretty nice, even if you did post the picture twice. Still, it does seem as though a lot of fans want to see Mary Jane bonded with the Venom symbiote just for the creepy sexiness that would entail. Who's the artist for this one, by the way?

[Venomous Mask]

I think it's Ramos. And crap, I didn't mean to post it twice. I thought I'd put in another picture!

Edit: I fixed it.

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

Still love the classic...


Actually, I really liked ASM #300, where both Spider-Man and Venom were wearing the same suits....

[Assassin Spider]

I think it's Ramos. And crap, I didn't mean to post it twice. I thought I'd put in another picture!

Edit: I fixed it.

Thanks. And I can see Ramos's signature now that I've looked closer. I guess I was just so caught up in the whole "Mary Jane unwillingly bonding with Venom" scenario that I forgot to look for the signature. Heh. And I like the Spider-Man vs. Venom pictures, although from the looks of things, they'd be better called the "Venom tries to do nasty, nasty things to Spider-Man and Spidey's not going for it" pictures. Then again, considering the symbiote's canonical twisted love for Spidey, that supposition isn't so far off.
