Everyone Changes In King In Black #5 Finale Week (Spoilers)
Today's Venom #34 is a lead-up to both The King In Black #5 and June's Venom #35/200 (yes, you're going to have to wait two months for that one). As we noted, there's one early plot point that seems very important regarding how Eddie Brock is to be viewed by the rest of the Marvel Universe. But will it hold? However, Venom #34 is not just about the transformation of Eddie Brock…
But in previous issues, we have seen the return of Flash Thompson, courtesy of the Cortex Hive Mind that had preserved the memory of hosts. And, in the process, re-creating him as an Anti-Venom Dragon.
And remember what happened to Cletus Kassaday, when he was revived from the Hive Mind as a new Carnage – well, you can't just reserve that kind of treatment just for the bad guys right?
He died in Amazing Spider-Man #800, saving Spider-Man from the Red Goblin. And Flash Thompson is now revived from the dead after saving the world from the King In Black. He's not the only one transformed going forward.
Cloak makes quite the claim to Dagger in King In Black: Planet Of The Symbiotes #3, also out today.
As Cloak is touched by The King In Black in a way that goes to his core. Will a spin-off book retain this new Knullish Cloak going forward?
And might there be more dreams of horror to come?, and another family at war with itself? Let's go with a big yes. But it all comes down to one rematch, Venom, Captain Universe, Mjolnir and the Cosmic Board, versus Knull. Maybe it's time to shed a little light on the situation? And go out with a big toothy grin on Venom's face, just like in the old Todd McFarlane days?
Something I think the vampires are about to regret… they have their own changes to worry about.
