Venom as a concept is great.

But when someone actually writes Venom, it's pretty girl and miss. The current book is amazing and everyone should be reading it, but that's because Cates loves weird characters. Remender and Bunn also had some great work with Agent Venom and really, we've had a lot of good work with Venom since Agent Venom began. But that's because writers have been allowed and encouraged to use Venom as a character and Eddie isn't just a bad 90s joke.
