![]() Maybe I don't think I'm good enough of a guy to be a good guy. They see him, and they know everything is going to be okay. I want people to look at me the way they look at him. I mean, if I didn't think I was a bad guy when I was trying to kill Spider-Man, how can I trust myself to answer it now? I think the truth is that I. You ask me if I'm a good guy or a bad guy, and, well. That doesn't answer the question, right? But. I genuinely thought that killing Spider-Man was the right thing to do. Lord help me, I thought- I thought I was doing the right thing. It's a fair question is what I'm trying to say. We've been on both sides of the line so many times even I can't keep track. Honestly, I've been hearing this question since this all started. Because we're stronger when we're together. Clothed in the armor of an avenging legion. We are the fury of this red-drenched city. not like anything I have ever felt before. The Thing's ungodly strength turning my muscles to stone. ![]() I see through Hawkeye's diamond-scalpel eyes. Wolverine's rage igniting my blood into ancient fire. Captain America's voice barking orders and war strategies. The voices of their former hosts screaming into my mind. Sending ripples of electricity through my codex-laden spine. Cutting through the screams of a carnage-born god. Through the endless demons clawing their way out of the shadows of my past. Putting his life on the line once again to protect the innocent. Above the pounding heart of Spider-Man below me. See you next month when the carnage begins in the ‘Minimum Carnage Alpha’ one-shot.And then. I just hope it doesn’t let me down like the ‘Monsters of Evil’ arc has done. I am loving the idea that these two are going to team up but I’m not sold on having them battle yet another Spider-Man villain… but, since Carnage was spawned from the Venom symbiote, I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I’ve never been a big fan of Carnage and I’ve liked that Venom and Scarlet Spider had taken great strides to position themselves as heroes away from the shadow of Spider-Man. It’s so bad that it’s even got me looking forward to the upcoming ‘Minimum Carnage’ crossover that begins next month. This supernatural tale is so far removed from those ideas that it’s almost like it’s a different book entirely. I fell in love with Rick Remender’s “Agent Venom”, the military black ops Venom that alternated between fighting villains for the Secret Avengers and trying to keep things together in his personal life. I tried to give it a pass since I likened it to the mid-90s supernatural books but, after a couple of issues of this tripe, it’s almost painful to read. So far, Cullen Bunn’s first arc in ‘Venom’ has been quite a let down. ![]() It seems that Venom is happy with his career with the Secret Avengers and isn’t looking for a promotion to Hell Lord, so he’s got to find a way to stop Hellstrom and the MoE from forcing him down that path… and he may already know a way to do it. What that has to do with the MoE, I don’t know but Hellstrom seems to think that the now demon-possessed Venom will take a seat as one of the rulers of Hell. Hellstrom possessed these creatures with demons of his own, making them even more powerful… but why? It gets kind of weird and vague here but it looks like the ranks of Hell are about to shift and some of the lesser demonic beings (like Hellstrom himself) are going to be given a chance at getting a promotion of sorts. There ranks include a sphinx from ancient Egypt, a godlike alien worm, a bull creature that was worshipped by the mole men, and a creature called the skunk ape. ![]() As the chaos tears its way across NYC, Hellstrom reveals that the MoE were once powerful entities. This issue opens on a throw-down battle between Venom and the MoE. On top of all that, Venom was possessed by a demon of his own and the Monsters of Evil were looking to recruit Venom as their latest member. Venom was battling Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, and a group of demonic entities called the Monsters of Evil. At the close of ‘Venom’ #24, our hero was facing down the forces of Hell… literally.
