Actually, CJunkie, there's a new symbiote mini coming out, entitled "Toxin." April 6, I think.
__C vs V had a lot of flaws- I think we can all agree on that. The worst, for me, was the way Red was mouthing off to Clete. I've always considered Clete to have the upper hand. No, OK, the worst was the way Clete just took it. Referring to yourself as a bus? A public mode of transportation? That's low.
__But there was a lot of good, too. I loved his lines in the first scenes: It's sick, it disgusts me, and I don't want to talk about it!" That was hilariously in-charactor. It's just like him to kill in monstrous ways and then be deeply disturbed and pissy about spawning. Covering up his fear of a loss of control, by interpreting it as physical/moral revulsion. Irony, I love it.
__I also adored the "auto-didact" lines. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that Clete must have known what an auto-didact is, and was making fun of Venom's assumptions and pretensions? Or maybe he truly didn't know, but that's unlikely. He has a pretty good vocabulary in many apps and enjoys sarcasm.
