I thought that the new story was good, after I got used to the idea. I was kinda pissed, but I kept reading and I found that the level of research that went into in was pretty impressive, actually. Also, I've been thinking that it's a very plausible scenario for the introduction of a symbiote into the movies. The thing that I would take issue with is how Parker and Brock will come to work at the Bugle together, and how the story also tells us that Parker and Brock's parents died together in a plane crash. There are just a few things that are semi-incredible, and are difficult for me to digest personally. Anyway, overall I think the story is great-- and it's no enviable task to create a new story when the old one needs no improvement, so I think it was an admirable project.
Since you guys brought it up, I just happen to have a pic of Venom eatin' some brains. Here ya go!
Mm-mmm, brains. Yummy.
