>>91833603 -- Part 1: Pre-Venom
>>91861970 -- Part 2: Venom vs Spider-Man
>>91890036 -- Part 3: Jungle-Fu & Carnage
When we last left our symbiotic duo, Venom had teamed up with Spider-Man to defeat his offspring, Carnage.
That went south, though, when Spider-Man betrayed Venom and had him captured with the help of the Fantastic Four.
Lets see what happens on special issue of Spider-Man: Presenting... THE TRIAL OF VENOM!

Last thread made me wanna draw venom
hows it look?
>>91895354
Geez. Venom sure spends a lot of time at The Vault.
>>91895387
>>91895401
Looks great! Next thread will see our first lady symbiote.

This is the shit I grew up with and got me into comics.
It's funny, re-reading it it's actually really bizarre and sometimes hilarious. But at the time I though Venom was the coolest motherfucker ever, and I'm not quite sure why because I was never the kind of kid who thought heroes should be edgy or kill people. Venom was a villain to me even back then.
Also from memory I've always thought of this art as just a lame McFarlane xerox job, but looking at it now it's actually really good, the artist's stylization shows through impressively and there's a great attention to detail you didn't see that much in comics at the time.
>>91895354
Just to mention: the "Stan Lee presents" thing made me think, as a kid, that Stan Lee still wrote the comics, which I continued to believe for a pretty long time. The actual credits page didn't even register with me.
>>91895401
That's actually really good!
>>91895451
>>91895461
>>91895419
Thanks, I tried to mix in elements of new edgy venom, but maintain the cartoony slightly goofy comic style venom, while adding my own twist on it (mostly the stripes and teeth) and keep him having human foot and now claw foot.
>>91895471
>>91895404
that's because he's a natural treasure........of comedy!

fun fact, this was a special mail away issue, I believe it was considered non cannon for a while, but it might've been include d now.
It might have beena part of Marvel's mail away subscription plan from back in the day.
>>91895533
>>91895553
>>91895566
>>91895536
Correct. This is a special comic that was initially only available if you made a 5USD donation to the UNICEF.
It was always consider part of continuity, though.
>>91895601
>>91895601
Oh boy here we go

Venom stays locked in the Vault for a bit. Our first tease of what happens to him is at the end of Amazing Spider-Man #373.

For those who don't know, Peter's parents show up during the late 300s in ASM. There is a bit of a twist, though. If you're reading through all of ASM, the issues being storytimed in this thread won't reveal/spoil the twist.
>>91895959

>>91895749
Is...is DD seriously trying to justify Venom's actions?
>>91896003
>>91895601
>Puking up a symbiote
That's simultaneously disgusting and amazing at the same time.
>>91896009
He is helping the (allegedly) helpless.
>>91895327
Speaking of special comics like this, are we going to read Incredible Hulk vs. Venom too? That one has one particularly incredible scene in it.
>>91895984
Bagley's Venom is best Venom.
>>91895451
I love how fictional blind people are always so sassy.
>>91896027
>>91896141
Honestly, I wasn't planning on doing it. It doesn't really say much about Eddie/the symbiote (their mental state, relationship, etc) and doesn't have a firm place in continuity. It can fit pretty much anywhere both Venom and Hulk don't have much going on in NYC.

So he would have actually been reformed if Peter hadn't harassed him?
>>91896417
>>91895727
Something was bothering me about the early encounters with Venom. And now I know what it was. Not enough Spider-Man quipping.
Glad to see that's back in full force.
>>91896454
>>91896479
>>91896476
Those early fights were all serious business because Venom went after MJ. Peter doesn't fuck around with enemies who know his secret identity or can attack his family.
>>91896009
Eddie's. To be fair, Eddie never did do anything before the Symbiote merged with him. And he does reform later in the comics.
>>91896505
>>91895401
Looks good .
>>91896524
>>91896516
Well, he "reforms"... kinda. He never becomes a straight and legit hero.
>>91896550
>>91895878
Well, at least he didn't kill him.
>>91896505
Fair enough.

Man, I keep seeing that Silence of the Lambs quote everywhere lately.
>>91897323

So this is what their fight in Spectacular Spider-Man was based on.
>>91895372
>Cellblock 666
Way too much time difference for it to have been intentional but... heh.
>>91897359
>>91897443
That's all I have to time to do today.
Tomorrow we jump into Venom: Lethal Protector!
>>91896419
Peter literally just can't stop fucking up. Remember Rhino's wife?
>>91897009
>>91897029
Dammit Jameson.
>>91897346
>>91897359
You tell 'em, Ann!
I miss Ann so much!
>>91896906
This exposition really helps him cracking at the start make more sense.
>>91898504
I included this stuff when I did the pre-Venom arc (see part 1 of the story time in the first post).
>>91896972
Brock is one stylish mother fucker.
>>91895797
Being a symbiote is suffering.
>>91897388
>>Cellblock 666
Clearly foreshadowing for the Circle of Four story.
>>91897029
>you even corrupted Annie
Brock is so friggin' delusional.
>>91895516
Jameson made Scorpion to kill you, Spidey. 'member?
>>91895354
>dat Moonstone
Maybe she and Brock could hook up while in The Vault.

I always wanted to see that jacket return. Bagley was kingly
