I rarely begin threads, but feel this is one whose time has come.
Use this thread to request pictures within the Spider-verse--individual characters, comic series or limiteds, symbiote/host pics.
There are 3 image requests on the Spidey page right now--pics from Venom's "The Madness" ltd. series, Eddie Brock, and a request for Spidey kissing a red-head. I will post some pictures to fill these requests, but I will post them here.

It is his tongue. It's from the Tsunami Venom title--which met with an unfortunate end when Marvel decided to scrap Tsunami in favor of more crappy titles like Mary Jane and worse, the all-ages Mary Jane title. Bleh.
If you're not familiar with Tsunami's Venom, allow me to relay to you the significance of the tongue--Venom tries to choke the Thing by shoving his tongue down his throat, and it is subsequently severed by the Human Torch during a skirmish between the symbiote and the FF-- it becomes the raw bio-material sample that the Ararat Corporation uses to clone the original Venom symbiote.
Not requested, but I had these scanned for a debate over on the Hype as to whether or not it would be possible for Carnage to overcome the craptacular happenings that took place in New Avengers #2, so I thought they might provide a giggle or two....
I love to see these two going at it ... Carnage always manages to put Venom neatly in his place, and never more aptly than here.
Carnage has just broken out of Ravencroft, taking his psychiatrist captive during the festivities. What do I tell people about showing Carny too much leg...?! You gotta watch it around him, girls. Anyhoo he's making his escape and Venom is trying to stop him. Carnage tells Venom he's just put Carnage "down for the count"....

....it becomes evident that symbiotes are downright handy little critters to have around; they can do ALL KINDS of stuff. Including completely dissembling and then reassembling you, evidently.
I may not have requested those, but I think it could go without saying that any pics you want to post here are a welcome contribution. I had only scanned that middle page, and I don't even have the entire series, so there's still some stuff that I haven't even seen yet. Like you, I have always been quite fond of the banter between Kasady and Brock.
About the 2 series you mentioned, honestly, I think they're both worth having. I know that you'd hate the art in "Madness" as much as I--it's sloppy, crude and doesn't do a thing for the characters--but the story is good, and it is packed with pretty sexy undercurrents and dialogue.
"Mace" delivers what it's predecessor lacked in quality of art, but isn't the most compelling story in the world. It's main redemption is the focus on Eddie and Beck (who never reconciled her fear of the symbiote and couldn't respect the committed nature of the two).
