Now if only they actually gave the character some page time to shine...

That said...I just wish that they would have kept Brock around as Anti-Venom, as that origin/back story was actually quite satisfying and made sense (the whole "accidental by-product of being cured by Mister Negative" thing) as opposed to the Toxin bonding, which was a really weak set up and felt like a cop-out excuse to get Eddie back into a suit. Plus I liked how Anti-Venom would "cure" people of various afflictions, which made his approach towards other heroes and villians far more interesting than the simple brute approach that Toxin has.

I just didn't like how they basically offed the original Toxin on word alone and then didn't even do a very good job with Eddie-Toxin to begin with. Especially that dumb way they made it look like he got killed at the end of his first story since Toxin seemed to be immune to the weaknesses shared by symbiotes in his original story.

I liked Anti-Venom alright, didn't really care for the preachy tone he carried on with and the suit could've been better but the stories with it were good, including his membership on the Revengers.
