Looks great, guys. Congrats.

Well, it didn't take long to just tell everybody who the new host is.

Accidentally ruining the reveal aside, Venom vs. Jack-o-Lantern with a scythe looks awesome.

Were there really that many people demanding a Venom series? I have trouble seeing this not get that retroactive downgrade to a mini, but who knows.

Someone help me catch up. After Siege, how did Gargan lose the symbiote?

[Bathawk1]

Wasn't going to buy this. I mean I like Mac Gargan as Venom/Thunderbolt, And have never been a Flash fan (to me he's always Peter Parker's bully)

....But I dunno, that look is so damn cool...thinking of giving the first two issues a shot

the military took it from him in prison. Smythe then saved him from dien by putting him back in a scorpion suit and busting him out.

It got taken off. The end.

Amazing Spider-Man 648... The military forcibly removed it from him at the Raft.

Pretty excited for this, Remender is doing awesome things over in Uncanny X-Force.

Dude, Flash got past that a LONG time ago. He hasn't been Peter Parker's bully since the late 60's (Howard Mackie reboot and pre-OMD brain damage aside).

lol yeah wonder if that was an accident... But i called it.

[Red Lotus]

Wacker needs to be slapped in the back of the head for telling everyone it was Flash.

I watch way to much NCIS

lol I know I know....I even have a web of Spider man comic the 80's where Flash revealed he wasn't a bully, and that Peter was considered an arrogant jerk

And I know being a Bully in the 60's is a lot different than being a bully in the current day

But as a comic geek in school I was bullied every day, and to this day still wish I had taken a swing at the guy who had made my life hell regardless of the consequences

that was over 15 years ago, if I can't forget my bully I can't forget Peter's either

I used to think it was a huge concept until the revelation of the host...
c'mon, Flash Thompson...

his addict past makes me expect he could fall for powers now, which could be interesting but I can't help thinking Ben Reily would have been better, or seeing Deodato' cover, why not someone who isn't Amazing related, like Paladin, or TaskMaster : someone who take the whole thing as a job he's used to, with just another weapon in his arsenal, and the story could had flow as a long-time mystery about his identity as for Rulk. I feel like Thompson is a kinda security choice.

Hope there will be a rotating cast, but Remender is such a writer I'll surely take a look.
