Same. Maybe someone can commission one?
I might try making something like it from Photoshop, but I won't be able to do that for a while yet.
Does anyone know who did that piece of work? Maybe we could convince him or her to make us another one.

What is everyone's opinion on the new symbiote-torch-carrier, Toxin?
I just received the Venom/Carnage mini-series not too long ago and thought the story was written well, except for the Venom, Carnage team-up, which I found absurd because Venom, in all the world, would never team up with Carnage, even if it meant giving up his dignity, his life, or his entire existence, in general, to Carnage. Venom hates Carnage more than he hates Spider-Man.
But other than that... I thought it was a decent read.
We were having that discussion here:

We were posting pictures here.
IMHO Toxin's okay, but doesn't hold a candle to Venom. Thought the Venom and Carnage teamup was absurd as well.
He's lame. I read the first three issues of "Toxin" and they sucked. What a waste of money. Even the art wasn't worth the three bucks.
They need to axe him, fire Bendis, or go over his head and get better writers.
I finally also got the series a few weeks back... the art is ok, not stupendous; I think it got a good billing because of how lackluster comic art has been the past few years, so anything even remotely good like it would be taken in as "great" even when it's only mediocre at best.
Toxin sucks as a character, imo... I would have rather read a series documenting some of the Life Foundation Symbiotes' adventures, hell, or even the lame-as-hell Hybrids... at least he had a good background and introduction. (It would've been cool to see how the inter-merged symbiotes related their feelings, emotions, etc to Washington over the period of a 4-6 book long series imo.)
A part of me hopes that somewhere down the line Marvel reintroduces Hybrid, has him stripped of the Symbiotes and then they end up getting separated back into their individual beings and get new hosts... course I won't hold my breath on that idea but still, it'd have been cooler then Toxin.

I totally agree. The least they could do is give the Toxin symbiote to someone more interesting. And have it shut up for a while. What ever happened to the Good Old "Venom talks out loud to the symbiote we never here"?
Or they could have they symbiote leave wuz-his-face and wander around on it's own, jumping hosts every few issues. I would find the symbiote's philosphical musing more acceptable if the symbiote itself was the main character, not it's host.
On that thought, they could do (or have the potential to do) a great story about the symbiote trying to figure out 'gender'.
As lame as Toxin may be, at least his realtion with his symbiote is a lot more realistic than Eddie and his. The whole "Eddie and his other being a perfect unit" was kinda dumb. Here you have a normal human and an alien and their symbiosis had no problems as if they were just a happy couple. With pat and his other, there are arguments, misunderstandings, and the constant conflict for control.

How is your sig doing that?
Let me guess the next 300 storylines featuring Toxin: "Out of place hero does his best to contain the "raging" symbiote he now shares his body with" OR ... "With great power comes great responsibility spiel; Carnage/Venom/RandomVillain is on the loose! ... and only Toxin can stop him/her/it!"
What a joke. At least with the aforementioned Hybrid there was some room for INTERESTING character growth, I genuinely do not care about Toxin enough to warrant reading books that primarily feature him as the main character... even if I AM a huge fan of Symbiotes in general.
IMO, it's about time they had a reasonably "sane" person to add to the symbiote family, one who's not so irrational and has their sense about themselves. I think the idea that Toxin is just your average everyday guy, or cop rather, makes the story seem, or is, somewhat boring.
I don't know, but I guess we'll just have to see when more Toxin titles come out.
