Silly (not that that’s bad, necessarily). Venom was already basically the Anti-Spidey.

Beware the sensational character find of 2028 – Dark Anti-Venom!

I’m fearul of giving an opinion anymore, lest I be lumped in with the trolls.

Anti-Venom: too early to tell, currently leaning toward silly.
Sudden revelation that Peter explicitly remembers everything: Really bad idea, though it explains the Daredevil stuff during the Kraven storyline.

Silly.

Silly but not as silly as making Mac Gargan Venom and then removing his tail.

Seriously how badass would a scorpion-tailed Venom be? (though have heard he had it in Beyond)

At least anti-venom is a) based off a real life thingymabob (at least in name only) b) giving Brock (Eddie not Samson) something to do.

This is another point in the list of ‘I hate OMD but love what the writers have done post-relaunch’ seriously all the cool stuff could have happened to a married Spidey….

let it go…let it go…

breath…deep breath

it’s a cool idea. I realy like the new storyline «new ways to die».

Silly. I don’t know much about the character yet, but what is the point? Eddie avenging all the trouble Mac Gargon’s caused? As a registered hero? Because what he did as Venom is way worse.

Leaning toward silly, though I’ll give it a chance, but I think the character design is ugly. It looks like he’s covered in concrete.

Did you see the Anti-Venom statue/action figure in the Previews catalog? Also rather unattractive, IMHO.

I think that it’s a somewhat corny name, but I don’t think it matter. If people hate Venom, you probably won’t even give Anti-Venom a chance.

Sounds, looks, and probably is extremely stupid.

And wait, Peter remembers being married to MJ now?

I can cope with evil twins.
Evil twins of evil twins, I can live without.

And Venom already has his “evil twin.” Carnage. Who also sucks.

It’s a bit too early to tell . . . but I trust Slott. . . especially with the new arc going so well so far.

See, all this time I thought Spider-Man was the anti Venom.

Silly Marvel, screwing up everything that was good about Spider-Man.

Not silly at all. Cool and cool-looking.

As an idea? Little disappointing.

But it would depend on Slott’s execution of the whole thing.

Too early to tell.

what I think is silly is why you didn’t make this a curious cat question

I love how 99% of the polls, blogs and everything else I’ve read regarding the subject of Anti-Venom are all calling it silly or unnecessary, yet it is impossible for me to find the new issue of The Amazing Spider-man. If everyone thinks it’s so gosh darned silly, then why are you buying it? News flash; if you buy it, they’ll keep making it. If you don’t like it, then leave it for people who do instead of grabbing it just because it’s the latest craze.

Ok, I feel I’ve made my peace with this…

Gee, Wolf, you don’t suppose it’s people other than the people who think it’s a dumb idea who are buying the comic, do you?

Well, who knew we were getting Anti-Venom? And it’s not like A-V was a dealbreaker. The somewhat shabby backgrounds in the Peter scenes annoyed me more.

The name and character design are a bit on the silly side, but there’s potential for coolness in the “reformed super-villain strives to recreate himself as the diametic opposite o what he once was” concept,

Or it could triple-suck with a side order of suck, like Carnage. It is, as others have said, tough to tell from one panel.

Silly.

But that’s fine, as the one thing I love about the BND run is that it’s brought some silliness back to Spider-Man.

We should know by now that the internet is full of people who talk a certain way because they have the freedom of anonymity. The guy who talks crap about venom, anti venom and One More Day is probably the first one at his local store to pick up a copy of ASM.

Silly. Because the Anti-Venom design seems to be the sole reason why Venom now has eyes inside his eyes… that or JRJR really hasn’t seen much of Venom before (!?!) It just doesn’t look right…

The Scorpion-tail Venom was in use in Beyond, and looked REALLY cool! after all Gargan had been so used to using a tail that it seemed only natural to continue using it as Venom… Maybe it’s disappearance is a side-effect of Venom taking more control of the psyche??

I hated Venom after the initial storyline. It got really popular, and since it was that time in Marvel, it got really over-used and really stupid. Then Carnage came. Now Anti-Venom. Enough already.

I sincerely wish they would figure it out. Just because someting turned out to be pretty good doesn’t mean more of them will be just as good. Trying to milk the cash cow for all it’s worth just kills the cow and waters down the milk. (I love analogies!)

Y’know… Toxin (the mini-series) wasn’t all bad…

-Ducks back under cover-

Anti-Venom will be really fun, a bit silly, but ultimately used sparingly by the new Spidey Brain Trust, as all their good ideas have been. And that will keep it from flopping.

Great pun.

Again, at this point it’s too early to tell. It was a solid story, but so far we have no idea what Anti-Venom will be like.

I will admit I’m slightly (but only just slightly) disappointed that Anti-Venom didn’t turn out to be a symbiote infected May. I think I’d bust a gut if it turned out that someone just thought it was “Anti-Venom” when in fact they were saying “Aunty Venom”

Predictable is the applicable term, regardless of whether it’s silly or not.

Silly. Absolutely silly. Someone in the Spider-office just happened to hear that “anti-venom” is a word, and thought, “HEY! We have a character named Venom! Anti-Venom is a word! Why shouldn’t Anti-Venom be a character TOO?”

“See, all this time I thought Spider-Man was the anti Venom.”

So did I. Or, if not him, then Carnage. Oh well. We’ll see how it turns out.

it’s a good idea. especially because it gives new meaning to eddie brock. his character study in ASM #568 was excellent. so far, the execution of the idea seems solid, but next issue will really be the evidence.

What villain name ISN’T silly?

If someone introduced “all-new” characters called “Doctor Octopus”, “Blue Beetle”, or “Weather Wizard” in today’s comics, wouldn’t we call them silly or stupid too?

The only reason we can accept a character called “Doctor Doom” today is that he’s been around since we were old enough NOT to find that stupid. Think about it. “Doctor Doom”? That is unbelievably silly. But we accept it because Stan & Jack sold kids on it in the 60′s. And there’s a good chance that most comic book readers of today first met “Doc Doom” when they were 10 or younger and have carried that good will and suspension of belief into their teens, twenties, and thirties.
