Hey check it out, Donna Diego (from Lethal Protector, The Exile Returns and Separation Anxiety) is back! Wonder who this 'Zeena' is, though. Hmmmmm.

Oh fuck.

And who is this "George" guy?

Skater Brock! Xtreme!

>Nice Guy

Just in case you were wondering.

...

Well shit. So not all the symbiotes that came to Earth died at the end of the Planet of the Symbiotes story. Both Zeena and George were bonded to symbiotes.

Oh fuck!

The Xenophage sure made a mess.

That pose Eddie's making kinda reminds me of Jojo, especially with the shadow on his head making it look like he's wearing that one hat.

...

So regular cops know that symbiotes are weak to loud noises? What the fuck Costa?

...

Come on, use your fork Eddie, its meatloaf

Aw, swirly eyes. How cute.

Rekt.

That's all for today.

When we continue on Monday, we'll go through:

>The Hunger
Where Eddie's relationship with the symbiote is really put to the test. Also one of the best Venom mins.

>Tooth and Claw
A direct follow up to The Hunted.

>On Trial
The three part 2nd trial of Venom, with a twist ending that may surprise Flash fans.

>Confused cops!

Well fuck, I'm sold!

I always thought the Xenophage was cool as fuck. It's a shame we never saw another one.

Thought it would be cool if there was a second one that came to Earth and became a reoccurring character by disguising itself as a human. Could make for a neat Venom specific villain.

Sounds good. Thanks for doing this.

Kinda wish Eddie kept the mullet

But Eddie wasn't psychotic before the Symbiote.

Is this one of those retcons you guys were warning me about?

It comes and goes with different artists. He gets it back in

He has long hair again in The Hunger, a flat top in Tooth & Claw, and then the flat top-mullet combo in On Trial. Its just whatever each artist likes best.

>But Eddie wasn't psychotic before the Symbiote.
Actually, he really was. Go back and read the pre-Venom parts of the retrospective.

He went out of his way to blame Spider-Man for things Spidey had no impact on, for example. Eddie has always been completely delusional and a hypocrite.

Always wondered what Zeena's symbiote form looked like.

Why didn't she try to protect herself with her symbiote here?

>Always wondered what Zeena's symbiote form looked like

Probably just black like the other one since it was one of the Planet of the Symbiotes one, which all seem to be black

>Why didn't she try to protect herself with her symbiote here?

The plot!

Fuck mimics.

Up

I'm fond of the Fabio look.

George's looks blue, though.

Also keep in mind that the symbiote's take on forms that the host likes, too. So if Zeena is trying to co-exist with her symbiote, might've be a new design.

>The plot!

Maybe, but the symbiote itself should have tried to survive. I know, its a silly thing to complain about.

Could a symbiote, theoretically, turn you into a pretty pony?
