No, it was called Venom Beyond.

I just want Peter to stay bonded with venom for awhile longer! Symbiote black Spider-Man will always be the coolest Spider-Man

[@cdeleon3494]

Well 616 peter is the punching bag of marvel editors lmao dunno why.

[@UNNATURALX2]

Not only the coolest but the most efficient

[@CBrown]

Yeah. As good and popular as Spider-Man is, Marvel seems to hate him and his fans.

[@DioStandProud]

I'd love for a series where he and Venom are completely in sync with one another. It's wild how underrepresented he is in the symbiote despite being the reason we even got it in the 616verse.

[@nicholase82]

Spiderman becoming the King in Black reminds me of the Web of Shadows game.

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

I really been digging your videos lately. Learning a lot of cool comic stuff! Keep it up y'all

[@neph6098]

I've learned so much... I like Venom when he's a goopy Spider-Man villain and occasionally anti-hero, but this story is actually very cool!

Nice refresher. I needed it 😂

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

I'm surprised that Thor when he finally met and fought Knull didn't use his lightning strikes against him to cut off his connection to the Symbiote Hive Mind once again.

[@harikiran4339]

Then where is the tension

[@gregwessendorf]

​@@harikiran4339It's not real tension if a character doesn't act like themself (without reason), it's just lazy writing.

[@BrotherWulfe]

Anyone! I'd like to see tob working with some new obscure adult targeted comic

[@zebrion5793]

Honestly, I'm not sure Rob would want to work with Marvel beyond being a consultant. He makes a pretty good steady living here on YT, has a massive fan base, and if he worked full time for Marvel, he couldn't talk about whatever project he was working on at the time because of NDAs, he'd be posting less videos for us to consume, etc. Consultant though, for sure.

[@TrevonBrown306]

I know you might not see this. But that was a good breakdown. For instance the Disney xd original spider man , when Peter had his symbiotic relationship with venom he grew stronger without him and attached his self to Eddie. Then when he was ‘defeated’ with Eddie , venom attached his self to Peter’s teacher max modell’s blood cells. That’s how much stronger he grew within those battles and relationships. Love this content man fr keep doing your thing

I actually got into comics because of this channel. 21 years old, seriously not the type you'd expect but i grew an obsession with gotham cities architecture. Learned to love all of DC comics lately....

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

I wonder what will happen at the end of this ongoing Symbiote War? Is Carnage going to relinquish all that power he has stolen? Will alternate universe Anne return to meet Eddie & Dylan?

Comics Explained Make three videos about these three characters one from Star Wars one from DC one from Marvel. God of the force Anakin Skywalker,superman/rao God of the sun and rune king thor Because deep down, you know, these characters are going to be the most powerful strongest fastest and smartest versions of Anakin Skywalker. Superman and Thor in the future

[@MFproduction-lp9mk]

Venom war is the best venom comic I readed

[@Galavantworks]

Tbh I see the King in Black role more akin to something like Galactus; where cosmically god like beings are born near the cataclysm of a prior cosmos filling a cosmic role. Because if great power comes with great responsibility; then absolute power corrupts absolutely

[@CainMadness]

You spawned a theory of what will happen. Carnage will turn into Venom or be overtaken by Venom at the end. And likely merge with Meridius, to become uber King of Black or something.

[@JoshuaCalkins-ot7nc]

So what I’m hearing is that in Thor love and thunder,MCU, that was knull how died and gave Christian bale the sword?! Therefore those shadows creatures who stole the assguard children ? Pretty cool

[@couufdr]

Rob you mentioned the uni power but call ppz some random god. But it was the uni power bonded to some random god...or just a random guy...man that'd be funny to find out. Any way I wonder if they'll come back to that & say the uni power is kinda like mangog but made of all the gods knull killed

[@jtafoya82]

2:50 some god??? I thought it was established it was the Silver Surfer

[@Azrael713]

No that was a different time he met the surfer. The god he crash landed with was some unnamed god that bonded with the enigma force for a bit.

[@alterclark1]

Thanks Professor Rob 😊

[@vagenaut69]

When you break down comic concepts rather than arc and issues, 🤌true explained.

[@digunder14]

that is not what the eventuality is, at least that has not really been how it is presented, he is eddie's natural final self

[@7DorjeComics]

They should add this Carnage into the multi verse to keep it growing. Or the Venom Hulk? What prevented them from keeping those characters in the comics recently?

[@demonkingofsalvation7519]

Can you complete the gods series

[@Zidbits]

Every time Rob is shown on the screen, I'm trying to figure out if the letters "Kentucky" are just a graphic t-shirt or if they're 3D embossed or stitched on. They have a 3D look to them. Also, I take it your not an OSU fan? Heard you moved to Columbus. It's OK if you're not a fan of OSU as long as you're not a Michigan fan. :D

[@doncharrette6977]

I have a question. So is Peter still involved in the venom war after he split venom in half? and how was he able to split venom in half?

[@neko-zq2mv]

I don't think they explained the how yet just the why but I might be wrong

[@TheSwordsman100]

I check these videos from time to time since as a Venom fan I do want people to get caught up but sometimes he misses something or gets it vastly wrong. In this video's case there is a very key detail missing, Eddie broke the time loop. Originally yes Eddie was fated to become Meridus as Meridus planned but during the Dark Web crossover and due to how time works in Limbo Bedlam both won and died in a fight. In this lost scenario this allowed the Eventuality to free the real Eddie from Meridus' loop. Eddie then proceeds to beat Bedlam, go fight Dr. Doom for a time machine and cause all of his other selves to become alternate timeline versions. Eddie isn't fated to become Meridus, (the Eventuality explains all that reject to their duty are destined to fall like Knull) but he will eventually become the Eventuality. TLDR: Meridus is not actually the real Eddie but a evil version from a alternate timeline.

[@Purple-Prince]

Remember when marvel would release a 1 off with The Watcher explains some of their more convoluted stories? They should bring that back but with The Unseen

[@tambow13]

I have a question. how was Knull not able to come back to life like Eddie Brock has? because I know you said there's no effective way to kill Eddie because he will just come back to life somehow.

[@MrPauliesaurus]

hi

[@lake_cooper]

Hello 🤙

[@blusterya6540]

So if the Eventuallity is where dead kings in black go........ where's KNULL...He should be there

[@jackking6191]

I mean it's kind of redundant because Spider-Man is already kind of a god you know him being the reincarnation of the center of the web of life & destiny meaning every single variation of Spider-Man in the multiverse is a part of him and he has access to all of their abilities because they're a part of the web so if anything Spider-Man would be the strongest out of the three of them because not only is he technically the strongest Spider-Man being the center of the web but he's literally the source of all magic and I believe life so him becoming a new symbiote God would just make him even more powerful than Knull and venom combined.

[@CS08129]

If only that's how Marvel saw it. Cuz frankly they just do nothing with the fact Spidey is the center

[@neko-zq2mv]

Didn't they forget/recon that?

[@portlandisburning]

Knull didn't use the celestial energy to craft All-Black, he killed his first celestial WITH All-Black then used Knowhere to forge more symbiotes. 2:19

[@MalikXWilliams]

What if Carnage merges with Morideus?

[@Mystery-pd6jc]

I know Venom is really popular at the moment and he's got another movie coming but dear lord would it have been better if King in Black was the end of it and sat as the status quo for, like, a few YEARS, man

[@_mixedsignals]

I think Marvel jumped the shark on this one. The Meridius / “Five Stages of Grief” angle was trippy and kinda cool, but then trying to shoehorn Canrage and Spider-Man into this has just made it kinda ridiculous.

By the time Venom War ends, Carnage should be the one defeated first instead of Meridius; cause Carnage already got his moment in the sun so to speak with Absolute Carnage, so I really want to see Meridius truly cut close instead

Doing the Lee’s work 🙏 ~_~

[@Vinnie_Paz_The_GOAT]

No bro, what’s gonna happen is carnage is going to kill Meridius and he may or may not absorb Meridius his power he’s already more powerful than venom. It seems more powerful than the main marvel universes venom the Eddie Brock that is the king in black is more powerful than Spider-Man, who is the king in black normal they’re gonna clash and it’s gonna take venom and Spider-Man teaming up to kill carnage carnage powerful enough to kill both of them evil Spider-Man king in Black and the venom king in Black are gonna team up to kill carnage in the king in Black
