The darkness that blankets this city is nothing. Nothing! Not compared to the shroud that Spider-Man pulled over me! He stole my life... shattered it... then cast it aside like yesterday's news! So it is only fitting, only fair, that I do the same to him! And I will. Very... very... soon!
How you survived isn't important! That you survived is! For again, we are one! The one called -- VENOM And Venom wants to play!
We've neutralized the gas, Tru. And now we've got hostages -- lots of 'em. All the Guardsmen and anyone else dumb enough to be in our reach. And one of 'em's going to die every five minutes -- unless you set us free!
No. No. No. No. These Guardsmen were just doing their jobs. But now that the crash has set me free... the killers that snuffed out their innocent lives will suffer at the hands of... Venom!!!
If this is a dream -- then we're the hero...that makes you the villain. So...you're dead! See, there are some things as sharp as your claws!
You ruined it, wallcrawler. I wanted to put some serious mileage between this place and me. But you couldn't let it go! Ya had to keep pushing me... until finally I just had to push back.
Thanks, killer, but after I'm done eating Spider-Man's spleen... I'm coming for you. 'cause I'm that kind of guy!
All right, Spider-Man -- LET'S MAKE A DEAL! You don't come after us -- we won't come after you! Fair enough?
MURDERER! He was only protecting hearth and home! So let your punishment fit the crime! And since your partner made no attempt to prevent that heinous act -- Let him share the just retribution! Heh.
Perhaps we'll smash all of your masks first! Yes! That should make it much easier to decide -- whose face we want to eat first!
Big boys like you shouldn't make promises... you can't keep from breaking! So we'll wash your dirty little lungs out with... us!
You -- Carnage! We thought we were done with you! But we've come back to make sure that this time... YOU DIIIEEE!
We'll recruit the toughest, the most vicious bunch of fighters we can find -- and we'll crush Carnage's gang like the cockroaches they are! But, remember -- KASADY IS MINE!!
That's it! We'll widen the beam and use it on all of them, destroy them before they can harm more innocents!
Way too late to rescue their formerly fearless leader! Without this clown's cowardly second-rate symbiote-wannabe -- big, bad killer Kasady is just another scoop of face meat!
We will be your friend, and more! From this day forward, all innocents can consider themselves under our protection! And whoever would dare do them harm will answer to... VENOM!
Did you really think... we would cry and beg... for mercy? You're the pathetic crybaby in this family, little boy... not us! Now... excuse us -- while we escape!
We are the victim of outrageous lies and vicious gossip! Carnage kills indiscriminately and at random... we choose our victims most carefully!
We're all on the same side here. But you're blowing our quiet little rescue -- of a fellow journalist undercover in a local gang.
Wait! We lose sight of our mission! Must find the reporter... before it is too late! We must not be late!
We'll spin your spine till it corkscrews your head! And for you, we'll punch your bladder up the back of your throat!
Yeah! Rats with a high soprano! Watch out for the fangs-- and that other thing! Like we have to tell you about fangs!
Hey! For a cackling psychopath with lousy tailoring, you do good work! You should think about staying big like that, Demo--might be a good look for y-- Well, too late...
It's not going to be easy, Knight... ...we are feeling rather annoyed with these stalkers... ...very, very annoyed!
Too much has happened to both of us for things to go back to exactly the way they were before. I need some time to think about the way things were between us. I need to know how much of what I've done in the past was because of you......and how much of it was me! And a real big part of me is afraid to have those questions answered.
You're an obscenity, Carnage! You were given a gift of power from the very stars-- --and you would use it to kill innocents!! You deserve to get your brains scooped out with a runcible spoon!
Nothing is going right with us!! Arrrrgh! We just don't deserve to have so much psychic pain!! But we can fix it right up, can't we?? We will fix it right up with some feel-good romping and stomping on our old pal Carnage!!!
He wants out-- --and what he wants that bad, we're not going to give him! Let him rot in that place, and let him think about who put him back in there-- --us!!
A whole clip at point blank range in the face is even little much for my other to cope with-- --but as soon as we get ourselves together, we are going to reduce you to steak tartare!
Welcome back, my other. It was starting to feel wrong without all the familiar nightmares running through my brain. You sort of get used to living in hell's side pocket.
No! We must redirect our anger----channel our restive energies toward the ruthless parasites who prey on the innocent!
But we promised Ann that we would never try to kill Spider-Man again! And she said that if we could separate into Eddie and the other for good-- --she might consider taking Eddie back!
"My name is Eddie Brock, and I used to have a symbiotic relationship with an alien. When the Other left, it took half of me with it. Can’t live without it. Can’t live with what it’s become. I remember a t-shirt my ex-wife gave me a long time ago. ‘If you love something, set it free; if it doesn’t come back to you – hunt it down and kill it.’
Funny thing. Turns out chocolate’s a good source of the phenethylamine the Other needs. So, as long as I remember to buy it presents now and then – we’re gonna live happily ever after.
We comprise a symbiote. I share this body with an alien other. But the part of me that is human still retains my original unaltered DNA.
Frankly, Carnage......no. You're just a self-centered geek who likes to inflict pain and suffering on others......you're a scum!
Do you know how honked off it makes us that after we trash, bash and smash all of you......there aren't even going to be any brains to eat?
Oh, don't thank us. It's what heroes do. Just remember when you tell your friends later... and you know you will......tell them how handsome we were too!
Spider-Man?? Something I had to say about him. Something very important that everyone should--must know! But since dynamite blast--so cloudy...I don't remember...I don't remember......don't remember at all.
He did this! If it wasn't for him this never would have happened! He took my wife from me! Now... ...we are going to take everything away from him!
Leave me alone! I have to get in the church! Have to talk to God! I am alone now... my wife gone... my other torn from me by that creature... ...I need guidance!
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen: the suit's changing-- it's evolved. I'm all tapped out-- it can't use me no more. All this time I thought it wanted to be with me... ...but it only ever wanted you.
I live for these moments, Spider-Man. Me... Eddie Brock. Beating you down... Like the weak-kneed little boy that you are... And then leaving you there. Broken, knowing that any time I want... We can come back and do it again.
Carnage. Son. I never thought I'd say this but-- How would you feel about a temporary--a very temporary--alliance with your old man?
Fingers trembling, I unwrap the package. Legs almost buckling beneath me, I slip the costume on. It's cheap nylon. It hangs loosely on my body. It's nothing like the symbiote. But it's everything... the only thing... I need now.
Everyone's got an angel and a devil on their shoulder. That's what they said in group. What matters is which one you listen to. That's what they said in group. Jenna's my angel. I have to listen to her... ...or the devil might start talking again. I'm a force of good now. I've been given the gift of healing. I could heal this guy's hepatitis, even... If I wanted to. When I meet Jenna her veins were full of poison. But I used my powers to cleanse her. She was reborn. New. She now helps me navigate the streets. Helps me cut the cancer out of society. She's the proof that I can do good.
Men like these... They bring out the evil in people. That's how they make their money. They don't want you to change for the good... So I show them the old me.
No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. Venom's old news... All played out. These days I prefer to be called-- Toxin!
I'm not done with you! I'm gonna come back for you, Flash. Gonna teach you a lesson. Show you how dangerous a monster can be! And not just yours!
You three relax and enjoy the ride. You always knew it would come down to him and me. No more trick guns, no more traps, no more werewolves. Symbiote against symbiote. Toxin against Carnage. It's a family thing.
Ironic, right? The one guy in the world I'd really like to chainsaw into bite-size pieces -- is the one guy I gotta keep from getting killed. Gotta hand it to the man upstairs -- he does love a joke.
I wonder if Jubulile was right, what she said before. I wonder if He heard that prayer. Then I wonder if it matters anymore. God help us? Who's gonna help Him?
Way I see it, these Poisons might be hard cases now, but that wasn't always the way. Before they found out that Venom Symbiotes would turn them into monsters, they were weak, cowardly. That just gave them a shot in the arm. Gave them a kick in the rear, but it turned them into bullies, too. Guess we all know a thing or two about that. But we aren't the ones hunting people -- consuming people. We chose to be better -- to be protectors. They think that's a weakness. Despite taking dozens of us, they still don't know the truth. That valuing life doesn't make you incapable of taking it when survival is at stake. They won't know how to deal with us... not when we stop running... not when we start hitting back... not when we're willing to die fighting them.
I must go protect the innocent creatures that maniac is trying to hunt. I'll try to keep Alchemax's name out of it.
You only need to trust yourself. Is this who you really want to be? Some crime boss, pulling strings, benefitting from theft and murder? We just risked our lives stopping a man who was doing that. You've lost your empire... but weren't you always lucky? Now you can follow your own code. Punish the people who truly deserve it. Protect the innocent. After all, Cat... this city always need heroes.
That's the place. The guy inside -- he's called Haze Mancer -- he can tell us about those space pirates of yours.
We couldn't figure it out. Why we kept losing control... the voices... the nightmares... every time we lost control and turned into that... thing... we thought we were going insane... but we know better now. My other was just reacting instinctively. Like an animal... baring its teeth to its alpha. Showing its belly to the same monster S.H.I.E.L.D. cut up and used to create those soldiers. The primordial symbiote that carried Knull's darkness across the stars... the Grendel. The alley. The warehouse. The rooftoop. My other was reacting to something else. Protecting me. We should have seen it. It was never us. It was you. Now... show us your teeth.
Venom? Venom's gone. Feels like it's been gone forever. Maybe I'm just worn out... but everything I remember about it... everything that made Venom real... is all so distant and murky... like a dream that's fading away.
And then... just like that... I feel it. Above the pounding heart of Spider-Man below me. Putting his life on the line once again to protect the innocent. To protect my son. Through the endless demons clawing their way out of the shadows of my past. I can feel it rising in the air. Cutting through the screams of a carnage-born god. Sending ripples of electricity through my codex-laden spine... boiling. Just below the surface. Aching to get out. For the first time in a very long time... I feel it. Hope. They fall into me. Black rain. Burrowing and growing. The codices... writhing and connecting with my own. The voices of their former hosts screaming into my mind. Captain America's voice barking orders and war strategies. Wolverine's rage igniting my blood into ancient fire. I see through Hawkeye's diamond-scalpel eyes. The Thing's ungodly strength turning my muscles to stone. They all melt together inside of me. Many voices becoming one. The power... not like anything I have ever felt before... something... new. Something better. We are the fury of this red-drenched city. Clothed in the armor of an avenging legion. This ends with us. All of us. Because we're stronger when we're together. And together... we. Are. Venom.
I have a son. His name is Dylan. He's... he's my whole world. He looks at me like that. You know... how people look at him. At Spider-Man. I'm not exactly father of the year or nothing, but... he thinks I'm a good guy, I think. So... y'know... that's been-- that's been good, actually. Challenging. But... good.
You're right... I can't fight you. I won't... You remind me too much of my boy. Of how I've failed him. You... this world... it's everything I've tried to protect him from. You're every nightmare I've ever had about my son... So no, Dylan. I won't fight you...
Listen, I know we haven't talked in a while... and I'm not asking you for help... I know I don't deserve. Especially not from you. But please... I am begging you... make sure my son is okay. You and me... we've always had our differences... but Dylan... He doesen't deserve to inherit my... my... darkness.
I hear it. It calls to me. Tells me I have been chosen. Tells me to rise. Tells me to choose my new form. I can barely hear it over the power of the light. But I laugh as it asks me... ...because there's only ever been one answer to that question... It's different, this power. It's ancient. Strange. But somehow... ...familiar. I don't know what I am now. I don't know if it'll be enough to beat back the void... All I know... ...is that I'm back. And I'm mad. So now... ...win or lose... ...good or bad... ...light or dark... ...everything is about to change.
That wasn't how we planned it--but the result is the same. At last, we know the name of the man responsible for our persecution. Now there's only one thing left to figure out: Just who the bloody blazes is Justin Hammer?!
I'm looking into Dylan's agonized eyes. I'm seeing the face reflected in them... and it's my face. It's my rage. An anger nobody else could know or fake or mimic--the rage of Eddie Brock. Bedlam is me... and I'm killing my own son!
It's... over. I suppose we should be pleased. The price on our head has been lifted. Though the man who put it there lives. But perhaps what was lost can be balanced by what was gained: a bit of overdue wisdom. I've been feeling sorry for myself, missing old friends, my career, my wife. But lately, I've seen how such feelings in others can breed poor choices and end in tragedy. That mugging victim, Annie and her fiancé, even Hammer's man. All chose feelings over judgment, vulnerability over loneliness. And that's a mistake we can't afford to make. Compassion is weakness, and we need to be strong to protect those who can't protect themselves. Besides, we'll never truly be alone, will we? For after all, now and forever... we... are... VENOM!
Web-swinging between skyscrapers is one thing, but this...! I should be terrified! But somehow, I feel... thrilled! Like I'm on the biggest roller coaster in the world! Is it you? Quelling my fear, bolstering my spirits? Makes sense. For together, we're more than one. Together, we are Venom. And together, we will always--win!
When Spider-Man rejected you after you'd given yourself to him--who took you in? I did! When he lied and tricked you into almost severing our bond, nearly killing you--who took you back? I did! I wanted you--Doom only wants to use you! Remember what you are! You aren't Doom! You're us! And we... are... Venom!
Do you know what that thing's doing to you?. You can't or you'd never have allowed it to bond to you. And make no mistake -- it chose you. It will drink your soul, leaving behind only cancerous excrement. It's not a black monster from space -- it's a black demon sent from hell. You are an addict -- a damaged and wounded animal -- you have a sickness. I am the cure!
LETS DANCE!, put on you red shoes and dance the blues, LETS DANCE!, to the song they're playing on the RAAAAA-DIIIIO...
You know... I hear what you all say about me. About us. And it's fine. Honestly, I've been hearing this question since this all started... hell, I even heard it from my kid. "Is Venom a good guy... or a bad guy?" I get it. I do. I know we can be... you know... a little erratic. We've been on both sides of the line so many times even I can't keep track. It's a fair question is what I'm trying to say. And the answer... I don't know. It's not easy... when this all started... when I first got the symbiote and... gave myself this "cool" name, I... Lord help me, I thought-- I thought I was doing the right thing. I genuinely thought that killing Spider-Man was the right thing to do. I honestly did. And looking back at it now... God... what was wrong with me? I know. I know. That doesn't answer the question, right? But... it kinda does. You ask me if I'm a good guy or a bad guy, and, well... I mean, if I didn't think I was a bad guy when I was trying to kill Spider-Man, how can I trust myself to answer it now? I think the truth is that I... I so want to be. I want people to look at me the way they look at him. At Spider-Man. I've seen it. They see him, and they know everything is going to be okay. They look at me and... I don't know. Maybe I don't think I'm good enough of a guy to be a good guy. But... I'm trying. We're trying. Every day.
And then... just like that... I feel it. Above the pounding heart of Spider-Man below me. Putting his life on the line once again to protect the innocent. To protect my son. Through the endless demons clawing their way out of the shadows of my past. I can feel it rising in the air. Cutting through the screams of a carnage-born god. Sending ripples of electricity through my codex-laden spine... boiling. Just below the surface. Aching to get out. For the first time in a very long time... I feel it. Hope. They fall into me. Black rain. Burrowing and growing. The codices... writhing and connecting with my own. The voices of their former hosts screaming into my mind. Captain America's voice barking orders and war strategies. Wolverine's rage igniting my blood into ancient fire. I see through Hawkeye's diamond-scalpel eyes. The Thing's ungodly strength turning my muscles to stone. They all melt together inside of me. Many voices becoming one. The power... not like anything I have ever felt before... something... new. Something better. We are the fury of this red-drenched city. Clothed in the armor of an avenging legion. This ends with us. All of us. Because we're stronger when we're together. And together... we. Are. Venom.
It's a graveyard. The corpse of every other--every symbiote that ever lived--shaped into a soulless, plastic Hell...
Venom | And don't ever try and hold us back again! Or we'll tear you apart after we're done with him! |
Vengeance | I love you too, Venom! |
Spider-Man | But there's still a big problem: one of us has to stay to work the gate controls! |
Scarlet Spider | Guess that's me. Hate to sound maudlin, but... I am just a clone. No one'll miss me if I don't make it back. |
Venom | No. The gate is symbiote machinery. Only one of their race can operate it. We'll stay. |
Logan | I don't know whose mug Dirt Map is wearin' fight now, but that big nasty lump in the barf is none other than a psycho-chicken name o' Venom! |
Venom | Psycho-chicken? I have to take this from a hairy mutant with claws? |
Wolverine | Okay, let's call it a truce. But you sure ain't no pal o' mine, bub! |
Venom | Good enough. |
Spider-Man | What's so funny about that, Eddie? You got a golf outing planned for next week or something? |
Eddie Brock | No... I've got cancer. |
Venom | Aw, c'mon cutie......is that any way to greet the love of your life? |
Venom | I don't have a life...not anymore. And neither should...you...? |
Flash Thompson | It's agreed, then? |
Eddie Brock | Yeah. We kill each other later. |
Venom | Show these dumbasses--whoever they are--that they picked the wrong day to start trouble at West Philly! |
Carnage | Is that right, Papa? And what am I supposed to do, huh? Am I supposed to be afraid? Is that what you want? You want me to cower?! |
Eddie Brock | No... I want you to run. |
Eventuality (Eddie Brock) | You have come--via Limbo, the Earth-plane's dark opposite--to the Black Engine, where the work is done. But there is another engine, tended to by other entities--operating on cosmic scales from their cosmic sanctum. Believing they can control everything from outside everything. These we call the Ivory Kings. Lords of the Wild Space. The Beyonders. |
Eddie Brock | Kings in White. My god... |
Eventuality (Eddie Brock) | Yes. They really think they are. The Kings in Black are their opposite numbers. Ivory Kings do their work from outside the world--Onyx Kings from within it. And thus, you are bound by the world, working not through the clean, percise energies of Concordance, but through organic matter--wet, messy goo. Working with the universe...in symbiosis. But the work is the same. You have to maintain, Eddie Brock. You--nobody else. Keep the train on the rails. Keep the plane in the air. Keep the whole show running. Or give up...and embrance the eternal end... |
