I think this is the hardest I've ever heard the trio laugh through an episode. Also, in Venom's defense, considering this is the Marvel universe, filled with aliens and time travelers and sorcerers and stuff...if I fell through the city street and suddenly found myself in an underground city filled with old buildings and horses and carriages and stuff, my first thought would be "I must've traveled back in time" too.

[@ryebreadreturn1]

It actually makes way more sense to believe he traveled through time than to believe there's a fully intact underground city populated by people voluntarily wielding black powder weapons and foregoing cars for horse and buggy.

[@ToonGal12]

I know, right? XD lol

[@WhelmedButReady]

A perfect ending rant on symbiotes for this Back Issues. And if it was edited out it would've been a perfect Tangents episode too

[@georgesanchez4075]

Hey Sal, have you read Donnie Cates's Venom run? The first six issues are easily the best storytelling based on Venom imo. Either way, I know Im staying up to watch this episode lmao

[@danielcuevas5899]

I’m I the only one who thinks Venom is overrated? He seems to be every person Ive met favorite Spider-Man villain. Like I get he looks cool and all but he doesn’t really have as many interesting stories as other villains like Green Goblin & Doc Oc. I’ve just always found him to be more style over substance. Edit: How do you feel about that Sal?

[@KillerPredator900]

Yeah he’s waaay overrated

[@usa-pu9mh]

He is, but hes basically evil spiderman

[@bigevil1001]

Daniel Cuevas Venom is popular for a number of reasons. Because of his psychology for one. Venom is the villain but he’s a delusional psychotic who imagines himself the hero and Spidey the villain. Eddie and the symbiote hate Spider-Man but the symbiote has a love/hate relationship with him. Peter was the symbiote’s host before Brock and the symbiote never really got over Peter. Brock may have succeeded Peter as the alien’s host but he never really replaced him in the symbiote’s eyes. The symbiote’s greatest desire is not to kill Spider-Man but to be with him again but that ship has sailed so the symbiote settles on killing Spidey for “if I can’t have you...” reasons. He’s got a way more intimating design which makes it easy to take him seriously. Something a lot of other Spidey villains lack. I LOVE Spidey villains but if you saw Green Goblin, Mysterio, Electro, Kraven, or Vulture on the street you would laugh out loud. Admit it. I also believe people sympathize with Venom (specifically Eddie Brock) and he appeals to (the darker aspects of) the common man on a psychological level. The idea of a man at the end of his rope, who’s life has been destroyed, who has lost everything, and who is on the verge of suicide being saved and befriended by this creature in his darkest hour and being transformed into a powerful being who can take revenge.

[@jackmacmahon417]

He’s my favorite cuz I saw him when I was 2 and thought scary black spiderman was cool cuz he’s also an alien

[@SuperMcgangbang]

“More than anything?” Very funny episode

[@manuelrosas5889]

Can you do a back issue on unworthy Thor or Thor God of thunder the God butcher and Godbomb can you do more back issues on Thor please if you do not have these issues let me know so I can send you it in the mail please and thank you and keep up the good work

[@anthonyhudak9363]

With the popularity of Venom now with King in Black can you cover Venom Rex (where Venom gets wings) or Absolute Carnage? Edit: Thanks for covering them guys

[@vavedern8860]

Venommmmm venommmmm venommmmm ven-ven-ven-ven-ven-venommmmm never gonna know what hit emmmmmmmm

[@Smeagolthevile]

To play devil's advocate for a moment. Maybe he could make wings, but actually getting the suit to fly with all its mass is something new. Maybe its learned how to like, reduce its weight or some bullcrap, but flight is the new power, not the wings.

[@karlmaxey]

Knock knock it's Eddie brock!

[@NewPhoneWhoThis52]

I'll watch a Venom back issues than the Movie I saw the movie lol

[@ojinrvk]

Sal's been referencing Gilmore Girls a lot recently. That should really be the subject of an upcoming Elseworlds Exchange!

[@commanderspyder5432]

Unpopular Opinion: You can easily make a Venom movie without Spider-Man. Just change a few aspects of the origin.

[@silentmerc15]

Also, hi Ben! One of the wonderful inhabitants of San Diego here. Love you too! ;)

Just got a Venom Strike Force ad before this Venom-themed video. I see the Marvel hype train is in full force

[@samslash9]

I like how for the first vemon solo series they go for underground 19th century civilization. So, far left field of a choice.

[@buku43v3r]

Loved it. First comic series I bought when I was a kid. Think I paid 20 bucks at a comic shop for issue #1. Needed more hulk though.

[@comicsmisexplained]

Was just at a free Venom screening but got turned away because they were at max capacity 😞 Not going to pay to see it so gotta wait until HBO or Netflix 😕

[@comicsmisexplained]

Nitro Vision one full theater and a decent line outside the screening door. Maybe like 20 people. They gave away too many advanced tickets 😕

[@marcocarmona4463]

You can also go on the matinee days on the theatres, that or pick it up on VOD (I think HBO fits there, you can also rent it on YTmovies) or on a redbox, it's much much faster than waiting forever until Venom gets into Netflix.

[@usa-pu9mh]

I have a trade containing : Venom : Funeral Pyre 1-3, Venom: The Madness 1-3, Venom: The Enemy Within 1-3, Incredible Hulk & Venom 1. I came so close to sending it in for you to do this week, but knew it would never get there in time...and that y'all do not like at least two of these titles.

[@karl_alan]

@The Senate Venom: the enemy within. Pretty decent, but varies wildly from miniseries to miniseries. I think you can get it on Amazon for about 20 bucks, which is a lot, but it is 4 complete miniseries, totalling about 250 pages.
