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.
