I personlly dont see a better story then the symbiote saga. The fans love venom so i dont see how after showing venom on the big screen they can make a movie about the lizard or shocker.. or electro. I am sure that the studio is doing this just to squizze money in the box office. Making spiderman 4 will be a great mistake. To be honest i am looking forward to spiderman 3. the only thing i am a little worried about is the fact that venom does not have his white logo as pictured on the toy figure. But then again raimi said that the white logo will appear. I am sure spidey 3 will be a hit, but making more will just ruin the franchise. I am not a big fan of spidey one or two, because i believe they are horrible, but 3 has a chance. I mean common people wouldnt you want to end spiderman franchise with venom? who else is better the venom?

I wouldn't say their backgrounds were identical, they just seemed like 2 science nerds that were abused by others that got power and both went different ways.

I've never read a comic where Ock wanted to take over the world, just where he was after one particular thing for example become a crime lord as the master planner.

I said practically identical.

Both Peter and Otto were:

-Science nerds with glasses
-Bullied in school
-Had no friends
-Unpopular with girls
-Grew up in middle class New York
-Lost a parent when they were young
-Acquired an amazing power thru a radioactive lab accident

The reason WHY they turned out differently is due to their upbringing. Peter had the love and care of Ben and May.
Otto had a father who verbally abused him for being weak, and a mother who was so overbearing that she practically smothered him.

Live in the Uk and can only get graphic novels or reprints in Astonishing. So either I wait for them to show in Astonishing which could be forever.

And the Graphic novels only seem to cover very old stories current stories or pivotal stories, and I have pretty much all the graphic novels from my store right now.

It's great. Drawn by the same guy who's drawing and writing Spider-Man Reign.



You don't have any comic book stores?? Do you live in the country side or something??

Buying on-line can be really handy. If you really want something, sometimes it's the only way to get it.

Nah England doesn't seem to have any lol, if you want comics you have to go to a newsagent and they very very very very rarely have American imported comics.

Where I get my stuff from is like a comic shop but only has them in graphic novel form, also makes it harder to get comics because if the shop doesn't have them in stock there isn't anywhere else to go.

I have bought things online before but I just don't like to lol more than anything I hate waiting for it drives me nuts.
