“Agent” centers on a colorful, borderline alcoholic astronaut named Heath Huston, a Texan who works as a so-called fear agent, the last of a dwindling breed of spacemen whose mission it is to fight threats to the planet Earth, which is partly destroyed during the course of the series.
Marvel Comics announced today that scribe Rick Remender will be leaving Venom, and Cullen Bunn will be taking over full time beginning in August. Remender brought the black space goo back into popularity this past year, re-imagining Venom as government solider, Flash Thompson. While many fans were skeptical at first, Remender proved why he’s one of the best writers out there, delivering a kick-ass series that was utterly different from the 90s classic. This switch is a bittersweet one, as Cullen Bunn – who recently took over “Wolverine” – has been making a big name for himself. READ MORE
Rick Remender is taking a short break from the series with these point-one-issues consuming Venom’s life. Although Venom usually works alone, a one man wolf pack, he’s going to be fighting alongside some other Marvel anti-heroes. As Ghost Rider finds herself in some deep sh*t, she looks to Venom and Hulk for some help. Will the book have the same gusto without Remender? Probably not. But, they do have a pentagram on the cover, just so we know it’s badass. Below you can peak at the preview from Marvel Comics. read on for the skinny…

There was not much about Spider-Island that I liked aside from the Venom tie-ins (probably because Remender didn’t mix Venom into the insane fray with the rest of the Marvel heroes). The Cloak & Dagger mini was fantastic, but other than that I’m happy it’s over, happy Remender’s more-than-impressive Venom run can continue on it’s marry way. Remender has not been given nearly enough praise for his work at Marvel with Uncanny X-Force and Venom consistently being two of the best books on the stands. Die-hard Eddie Brock fans were skeptical when the series began (many still are) but Remender really gets into the nitty-gritty psychology of the symbiote, and dives headfirst into Flash’s mind. This is a Venom like we’ve never seen before, and it’s a distinct pleasure every single month. Issue 9 is a great place for new readers to hop on board before the next big arc hits in December.

Though it hurts to say, I will concede that “VENOM” has been better each and every month than any issue of “THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN” the past year. That is nothing against anyone in the Spidey camp, but Remender’s work on the series has just been THAT good. However, now that the two characters are sharing a continuity (evident in the 4 page preview inside) we wonder just how long that will last. Read on for the skinny…

Well, the wait will be ending this coming Wednesday, and beyond the break you can check out an action packed 5 page preview of all the action. Read on for the skinny…
Changing a character’s guise has always been a much debated issue in comic books, especially so when it involves one of the most popular villains of all time. From the very moment Marvel released its plan to overhaul the character of Venom, fans have been extremely skeptical as to his new look. Although the series is merely two issues deep, many qualms have already been settled; Remender and Moore have proven that they can re-create the symbiotic suit, and do it damn well. The team has reinvented the character, giving readers a new look into the entity that is Venom. Flash Thompson, the symbiote’s newest host, struggles to keep his mind and his body from being completely taken over by the black space goo, and from the looks of it, our beloved venom, along with his snake-like tongue and gaping maw, will be returning this issue. Read on for the skinny…

While it is yet to be seen whether or not things will be as dire in the world of “AMAZING SPIDERMAN” for the real Peter Parker (Take that ‘ULTIMATES’ universe) as it is currently within the pages of “ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN”, one thing we can tell you is that Rick Remender isn’t going to make it any easier.

WRITTEN BY: Rick Remender
ILLUSTRATIONS BY: Tom Fowler
“With a whole of city of Spider-Men & Women to fight through, can Flash maintain control of a suit that wants nothing less than to put an end to any and all wall-crawlers? Or will the kill switch finally be thrown on America’s ultimate man in black?
Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott and editor Stephen Wacker went to great lengths to ensure that Venom had a few very important roles in Spider-Island,” said Remender. “I can’t give away who we’ll be seeing Venom go up against, but they are all huge characters and fights that Spider-fans have been itching to see. Tom Fowler’s pages so far are jaw-dropping and there are some legendary bouts >cough

Obviously Rick Remender’s “VENOM” story-line hasn’t been exactly what fans had been hoping for. Not to say that the series hasn’t had its own share of quality content, but in the end fans want one thing: Venom.
