So after the Venom symbiote left MacGargan for Flash Thompson and they became Agent Venom the Guardians of the Galaxy got a movie. Following the movie's highly successful release a bunch of fans who'd never heard of the team before wanted to read GotG comics so Marvel shook the team up and threw in central characters like Iron Man and Captain Marvel as like guest members of the team to attract more readers, eventually Agent Venom became a sorta-permanent member. The symbiote started freaking out after being in space for awhile and led the team to the "symbiote home world" where it was revealed that all symbiotes were actually intended to be peace keepers and agents of good. The "true symbiotes" restored/neutered Venom and so he became space knight Venom (ROM!). It kinda goes without saying that every longtime Venom fan was pretty pissed with this whole deal since it turned our gnarly toothed monster into something like modern DC's Blue Beetle. No surprise this entire mess was written by Bendis.

However, there are a few of us who were never fans of Venom who actually like Agent Venom and Space Knight Venom. I personally preferred Agent to Space Knight and both to Brock. As a fan of Nova though, I can also relate to Brock Venom fans on their feelings of him being Bendis-ified.

Man, once again we see why we need to just not talk about Bendis. People get REALLY passionate.

Realizing how vague that was, I will just refer you to "The Draco" storyline as an example. Last edited by Captain Nash; 07-08-2016 at 05:55 PM.. |

Bendis ruins everything he gets his hands own. Despise that hack.

Bendis doesn't so much ruin everything he writes as he writes almost everyone but his star character or two the same. Everyone else has the same voice. He's got some REALLY great starting ideas, and usually his runs have started out extremely well (the first arc of ANXM? New Avengers? but everything just fizzes out and turns into a big blob of nothing at the end. My actual main gripe with Bendis is his total disregard of continuity.
But all that pales during the 2001-2004 period where every month I just asked myself WTF did I just read and why do I still read it if only to torture myself because everything was horrible. Every idea. Every characterization. Nothing good came of that run, because whatever good was created in that run was destroyed by the end of it. At least a big bunch of bland nothing is better than a big unsightly mess of a stain on what was once the flagship Marvel title. |

Destiny will always be Nightcrawler's mum. Mystique will always be his dad/other mother. To me, Azazel is an insane red splodge, nothing more. Quote:

At least a big bunch of bland nothing is better than a big unsightly mess of a stain on what was once the flagship Marvel title. As for Bendis, completely agree. I think it's very easy to just disregard him, and yes nobody asked for his take on the Guardians, but the man has some brilliant ideas. They just tend to get... derailed. Fast. In conclusion, all writers are capable of good and bad. Morrison revitalised the X-brand, but he was also responsible for Glob Herman and Ernst. |

oh no! If we're doing an underboob set then that is where we must place Selene and Morgan Le Fay. Because they're just not happening otherwise. But yeah classic White Queen...that was some very risque stuff going on there.

Thanks that's really awesome. But I will probably decline as I do want the entire 3 pack, maybe someone else just wants Falcap though. I really do appreciate it!

To be quite honest, I'm not too keen on this image here.... While not trying to turn this in a whole debate, which i won't and Darktoylord you know we are definitely cool. i'll just leave it as Not my cup of tea and i find it very distasteful.
