venom reading list

people seemed to be into this so if you liked the movie and want to start reading the comics here are some good ones from my venom loving ass

(This is an eddie brock-as-venom centric list because he’s my favorite and also who was featured in the movie so not really anything on the other venoms, sorry!)

Good comics to start with

I honestly don’t think either of the venom origin comics are very good in my gay opinion so I would start with one of these

Lethal Protector - sort of the beginning of venom as an antihero rather than a straight-up villain, and the foundation for his character today and how he was characterized in the movie, so good to start with. It’s just like just eddie and the symbiote trying their fucking best to be good and its cute, just all around a good comic

Venom (2016) STARTING WITH ISSUE 150 - My all time FAVORITE venom run!! a soft reboot of venom, so a great place to start! Like it starts with a great first issue and just keeps going. I honestly love these issues so much, there’s a lot of emphasis on the romantic relationship between the symbiote and eddie and yes this is the run with the mpreg don’t worry about it (no but its eddie and the symbiote figuring out how to raise a child its good)

Where do I go from there?

Venom: The Hunger - a little about the darker side of eddie and the symbiote’s relationship but it ends really nicely and this is the comic where eddie buys his other chocolate for valentines day :) I’d consider it the first canon eddie/symbiote romance comic. Warning though this is SUCH a nineties comic idk how to explain it just look at it

Various other venom one-shots - There are lots of other little venom stories like Separation Anxiety, The Madness, etc. They’re only a few issues long usually and can be good but the Hunger is the only one I would say you absolutely should read

Venom: First host - This run actually just finished and its great! Goes from where 2016 leaves off so more of Eddie and the symbiote trying to raise their kid together and things getting fucked up along the way :(

Venom (2018) - the ongoing venom series. Tbh I didn’t like it at first and I think some design choices they made were uh how do you say bad but the most recent comic had some really sweet eddie/symbiote stuff so we stan now

Supplementals

Spider-man: Birth of Venom - The original origin comic! It’s mainly spider-man centric and eddie unfortunately looks very uglie in it. There’s also lots of other spider-man comics that feature venom that I didn’t mention here

Venom: Dark Origin - I mean if i had to pick a venom origin out of the two I guess I’d say this one? But the art is really bad and some characterization is off

the rest of Venom (2016) and Venom (2013) - eddie brock isn’t really in these except at the very end of 2016 but if you want to know what happened to venom in-between some of these its here, especially why the symbiote is really fucked up when Eddie finds him again (Lee is the worst human being alive)

Marvel Swimsuit Special Issue #4 - Venom’s in this one. I don’t have to justify this

enjoy!

tony has probably told peter parker he can call him tony and peter is just always like okey dokey mr stark

in five minutes of thinking i was legitimately scared at how easy it would be for me to write a sunstone style romance involving harley and ivy, all while acknowledging and using every bit of their long established lore and characterization.

too… damned ..easy!

peter: i hate it when people say that i can “do whatever a spider can”

tony: well, can’t you?

peter: i can think of many things a spider can do that i can’t. i can’t crawl into someone’s ear and die, i can’t legally leave guatemala without a passport, i can’t have sex with a spider —

steve: can we change the subject

canon Cherik moments by ishtar79: (warning for lots of pics in each link)

Erik and Charles in comics canon, part 1 – Watching First Class only reminded me of Their Very Epic Love in the comic books, and made me want to share some evidence of it for movie fans who are not currently up to going through decades of comics backstory to get to the good stuff.

Erik and Charles in comics canon, part 2 – This is taking longer than expected. Looking at the folder of panels I’ve gathered, it looks like it might be four posts, but that’s a conservative estimate.

Erik and Charles in comics canon, part 3 – Brace yourselves, everybody, this is the part where it gets unpleasant. Magneto’s return to villainy through the 90s and early 00s led to some of the most iconic (and controversial) Magneto storylines. Charles and Erik both end up doing some pretty horrible things to each other, and we move from the “they’re so married” dynamic of the 80s to “that abusive boyfriend you just keep coming back to”.

Erik and Charles in comics canon, part 4 – After the angst, betrayal and BDSM role-play of the last post comes the perfect antidote in the form of Excalibur V3, a 14-issue series that’s a essentially a love letter to all Erik/Charles fans.

Erik and Charles in comics canon, part 5 – We finally get to the last post of the series, and more of less catch up to current comics canon. Doing this has been the most fun I’ve had in fandom in ages, and I’d like to thank everyone for the wonderfully encouraging comments and interesting discussions that came up along the way. As time-consuming as making these posts was, I’ll definitely miss the whole process now that I’m done.
