A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I’m happy for any readers who have been enjoying Venom over the last 1–2 years, but to me, the series jumped the shark a while ago and I no longer recognize the character. To me, the character works best when it is in the head space of the symbiote/host relationship and I’d like to see a return to a more grounded take that includes a mental health approach aka battling one’s internal daemons. This cosmic Venom is certainly a different take, but I just don’t see as one that gets the character. I’d love it if Lemire or a similar writer ever took up the reigns but until something like this happens, the character will remain on the periphery for me despite my fondness for earlier approaches and runs.

Venom is canon in the Star Wars universe?!
