And just for reference, this is where the symbiote went.

>>92353275
So why's the symbiote acting like this, anyway? What made him change from being a kinda warped protector of innocents?

Not to mention he got extremely eloquent by itself all of a sudden. I'm all for making his intellect grow with time but it sucks when they make him dumber after showing him talk perfectly.

Brock doesn't show up in a single comic for a solid two years. Most everyone thought he was actually dead after they show him slitting his wrists ( >>92353152 ).
But we see that isn't quite the case.
>>92353340
There is no explanation. Writers just stopped giving any fucks at all about symbiote lore/continuity. After Paul Jenkins' The Hunger story ( >>92310307 ) the Venom symbiote is basically just a rage monster and went full on evil... just 'cause.

Well, lets be fair. There are only a handful of comics in general that have actual dialogue from the Venom symbiote. And its pretty inconsistent how the thing acts. For all we know, its always been super eloquent when it talks.
I personally prefer the short sentence fragments from Separation Anxiety (like here for example >>92055773 ), though, feels more alien to me.

>>92351217
If anyone's interested, the OP pic is from some European Spider-Man comic. I'm from Russia and they used to publish it here in 2000s. The artist of this pic, Andy Tong, is basically the best thing about the whole comic as the stories were often very simple and lasted no more than 12 pages. I don't know if there are English scans for it, but I remember it's from a story told from Venom's point of view where he saves Spider-Man from Carnage.

It really is. And reasons like that are why newer readers don't like Eddie. They're under the assumption that its always been like that and are usually completely unfamiliar with how Eddie and the symbiote's relationship -actually- was for decades.
This is the whole reason I wanted to do this retrospective in the first place, to demonstrate how fucked the character got by awful writing.
>>92353645
Accurate. The comic is actually out of 616 continuity, but I picked the image because it was kinda fitting thematically for what stuff is happening in the storytime, as Eddie takes a look hard look at himself and doesn't really like what he sees.

That's not the actual symbiote, its Eddie's subconscious while he's having a mental breakdown. The symbiote was with Gargan during this.

To be completely honest, regardless of the all the shit that brought us into this situation and the context for it, the image of a terminally ill and skeleton-looking Eddie wearing a nylon black Spidey suit is very powerful.
If this wasn't capecomic world where everyone gets revived constantly, it would be an amazing way to finish Eddie's story for good, protecting some innocent in that state before biting it.

Absolutely. Despite all the editorial assfuckery and bad writing leading up to this issue, this story is actually really, really well done. Good art, great writing and a great potential send off to Eddie.

Yeah, if that was their last conversation, it'd be really stupid to go off and make a deal with the devil to defy her wishes. And yet.

That's the end!
I believe this was intended to be the last appearance of Brock, until Slott brought him back during Brand New Day.
Brock doesn't show up again for another year. So when we continue the retrospective on Monday, we'll be jumping into New Ways To Die and the introduction of Anti-Venom!
