The Marvel Future Of Dylan & Eddie Brock And The End Of Everything
The Marvel Comics Future Of Dylan And Eddie Brock And The End Of Everything One More Time, But Now With Hellgate And Glitch (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- Dylan Brock returns in Venom #260, but Queen in Black reveals a darker fate as Toxin and war reshape his future.
- Dylan Brock’s five questions to the Eventuality expose conflicting memories, time loops, and Eddie Brock’s ruinous path.
- The Eventuality links Dylan Brock, Meridius, and Eddie Brock to an apocalyptic future where Venom becomes the Anti-All.
- Hellgate, Glitch, and Amazing Spider-Man #1000 threads may pull Dylan Brock back toward the end of everything once again.
Today's Venom #260 by Al Ewing and Carlos Gomez sees Dylan back in the Toxin symbiote as the armies of the Queen in Black attack Earth, promising Mary Jane/Venom he'll be fine.

But as we saw in Queen In Black #2, not so much.

And what happens to him inside that thing? Well, it's time for a Kree Symbiote Intelligence to dig deep.

And remember that time Dylan Brock died at the hands of Carnage…

At the hands of Carnage, who saw what Eddie Brock once saw… and then followed a similar trajectory

Now we get to see what those questions were. And that the previous ones from Venomverse…

In which Dylan Brock seemed to be gathering an army for Venom War, might not be the ones actually asked. Or even the ones he remembers from Venom…

There are multiple versions going around. But we had the first, who makes the rules/who are you? The second…

Who'd even care? The future…

Of course, we have also seen this future before…
With a future Dylan Brock trying to travel to the past to change the present.
….but now we get a better idea about what makes it.

Part Queen In Black, part recent Amazing Spider-Man storyline with the alien warrior Hellgate, who all but killed Spider-Man…

… and that saw him run away into space, where he encountered the likes of Raelith The Wretched, Glitch and Symbie, and brought them back with him.

Is this the upcoming second visit from Hellgate that The Eventuality is talking about? Will we see it in Amazing Spider-Man #1000? Something else?

Oh, okay, that's Glitch, the technarch currently in New York with Raelith the Wretched. Eddie Brock is going top make a bad decision. And even when he saves them from a mess, he ends up destroying the world entirely, the cosmos, the universe…

…and seems to become the Galactus of the next iteration of reality, known as the Anti-All, so Dylan asks another question.

And that's what he saw, what we all saw before, and asked the same question. Pretty much.

The answer is the same, albeit delivered differently…

No, that's not Eddie. It's Dylan. Not all those questions are what Dylan asked, it seems.

Doctor Doom's time machine? Well, Dylan certainly remembered that advice.

Who tried, as he was told, to make that change, to stop Eddie Brock, to stop Venom…

To kill the future, to take his father's advice to defeat his father and stop it all from happening. even though it had.
In one version or another…

Those, as we can see, are not entirely the questions he asked, either.

I'm going with Sleeper myself… and then at the end of the Venom War? Time is changed, Venom is killed, after the death of Meridius, and Dylan Brock wipes out his Terminator future…

There are more questions of course, but the only one we have is the one that drives this Eventuality up the wall… basically "what happens next?"

Spoilers… always spoilers… because it appears in Queen In Black #3 out next week, there has been a development that might bring that future back again.

Eddie Brock is Venom again. I wonder what's going to happen with Hellgate now? Glitch, who has Symbiw with him? Raelith The Wretched, who is now dating Venom's ex? It's all coming together…

Hey, maybe Trump has a point… is all this Venom backstory going to take a swerve into the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man #1000 and/or the return of Hellgate? Venom #260 by Al Ewing, and Carlos Gomez is published today by Marvel Comics.
