Venom #5 Rewrites Venom #1 Already And Eats Its Own Tail (Spoilers)

Published Wed, 16 Feb 2022 06:27:12 -0600

In the first issue of the new Venom #1 by Ram V, Al Ewing and Bryan Hitch, something from beyond possessed one of Eddie Brock's Venom forms. The one he called Ringo.

While on Earth, something pretending to be Eddie Brock tried to get Eddie Brock's son Dylan Brock to get up and leave.

Before getting a falling vision of the future, And the past.

Before arriving in Meridius' garden at the end of the first issue.

Three issues in, we get to see what happened next. With Meridius as another King In Black with a garden full of them from across time and space. But not a Knull, honest.

With Meridius then deciding to manipulating Eddie Brock into doing what it needs to bring him to the Garden. After he has already arrived. Cause and effect reversed for shits-n-giggles. First by possessing the Ringo symbiote back in issue 1…

Devil's Reign: Superior Four #2 — Venom #5

And then visiting Dylan Brock as Eddie Brock. Placing the clues and stepping stoens that will bring Eddie Brock to him. Even though that has already happened.

Though what doesn't get touched on, yet, is a final scene from that first issue….

Because clearly, Meridius has a performance of Hamlet still to play. Shakespeare did like a bit of predestination paradox as well, if Macbeth is anything to go by. So how to escape this loop? Maybe a Doctor Doom possessed by a parallel version of Doctor Octopus might be able to help. He already burned Knull…

Sorry, sorry, Meridius is not Knull. He's just a bit Knull-ish…
