Venom Ends In October

Marvel.com has confirmed that they will be ending the 2 year plus running Venom title this October. Many fans would generally recognize Eddie Brock as the symbiote wearing Spidey villain, but in March of 2011 Rick Remender put another Spider-Man character, Flash Thompson, into the suit as a military type working for the government. Thompson had become a double amputee and gained the use of his legs again while bonded with the symbiote with restrictions of 48 hours at a time.

"The final six issues all feature [new character] Mania quite heavily," "Venom" writer Cullen Bunn told Marvel.com. "They are her origin story. Of course, she may not survive her own origin."

Speaking specifically of "Venom" #42, Bunn said, "The final issue is very personal to me for a number of reasons that we can discuss once it’s been published."

"With the final issue, I try to weave in elements that we’ve seen from the beginning: Flash’s struggle with alcoholism; his relationship with his dad; his injuries," Bunn said. "All these things have made him who he is."
