I really wanted to see where his relationship with the young junkie Jenna Cole would go, as I was wondering whether it would blossom into a father/daughter type relationship, or something more romantic, but sadly, we haven't heard anything about Jenna since that series.

The stuff that came afterwards was kind of a mixed bag, with all the holy roller stuff that Brock was preaching, not to mention that wierd stint with the Revengers and Spider Island story arc. I really wanted him to remain as Anti-Venom as well, but if the purpose for moving him to Toxin was to streamline the symbiote lineage in the books a bit, then I'm okay with it. Besides, I like the idea of Brock, the longtime host of the original symbiote, being in possession of what's technically the most powerful of all the symbiotes currently, as opposed to being some random cop who wasn't all that interesting to begin with.

Damn, Trivial. You read my mind as those are pretty much my thoughts exactly on Anti-Venom and his story. Couldn't have said it any better.

I thought Anti-Venom was such an interesting twist to my favorite villain and I really liked him from a design standpoint as well.
