I hear that Venom becoming an anti-hero was an editorial mandate though, and while it's contradictory for Venom to have gone into anti-hero territory at all since he was more of a psychopath with some excuse to protect innocents, Slott also did some really bad out of character ****, the most obvious example being Felicia, which Slott amplified her pettyness to the point she stopped making sense, MJ when he decides to write her being a bitch, to the point something like, MJ in ASM#796 and #797 look like two very different people, there's also what he did to Ben, though at the very least that one has some excuse, I hear that the way he wrote Bobbi is against her stabilished character, but since I don't know her much, can't confirm, and then everyone in Superior not realizing something was wrong with Peter, which contradicts when they were able to sniff out someone who actualy tried to pretend to be Peter.
I'm not saying Slott didn't do good **** with characters, but when he makes them go out of character it can be bad, or really bad.
