WOW.....That's an awesome cover! My only gripe is that the new Venom looks like ass. What happened to the other look? I heard something about Eddie Brock auctioning the symbiote off? Well, The guy who was Scorpion is now Venom...I think. I haven't really followed comics in a while. I keep up with a little here and there though.

Yup. From Wiki :
"Venom II
However, Brock then proceeded through a religious awakening and sold the symbiote to the crimelord Don Fortunato, intending to donate the $100 million received to charity before dying. Angelo Fortunato became the second Venom for a brief period of time (technically, the Venom clone and its hosts were not really Venom). However Angelo was a weak and pathetic host for the Venom clone, so it separated itself from Angelo, which lead to Angelo's death. Upon hearing that Angelo Fortunato, the Don's son, had died after the symbiote abandoned him in mid-air jump, Brock slit his wrists in an alley, and his fate is uncertain.
Venom III
After Angelo's death, the symbiote bonded with Mac Gargan, the Scorpion, and became part of the new Sinister Twelve. While he was swiftly defeated by Spider-Man, as the Avengers, Fantastic Four and Daredevil dealt with the rest of the Twelve, he remains bonded with the symbiote. Mac Gargan is now the third Venom. Recently, Venom III was seen on a wanted list of The Thunderbolts (issue number 103) and is so supposed to be on the loose once again."

That sucks, Eddie Brock should be Venom. It was a great story, probably one they'll be doing in Spiderman 3. What is it with the guys who write Spiderman?
I hope the rumors are true and they take him back to his core: single, nerdy, and an outcast.

What IS up with the Spidey writing crew? Did Big Steph take over while I wasn't looking?
I mean, they're treating Venom like a Goddamn PlayStation!
"Venom was good, but wait till you see our Venom II!"
"Venom II was groundbreaking, but wait'll you get a load of Venom III!"
Christ.....hopefully, the symbiote will decide that Gargan is unworthy, and detach itself, only to slink back to a near death, emaciated Brock, sparing his life as it bonds with him again, as he is the only "worthy" host.
Yeah, I know. But I can dream, though.

Well, with Spiderman 3 coming next year, I think you can expect Eddie Brock to beomce Venom again.
