I loved his first fight with Spider-Man.
Symbiote ruined the character. Maybe I wouldn't mind him being Venom IF he emulated tail more often, had some feats suggesting that the super powers got merged and didn't job in every comic. He sucks really really bad. He's essentially poor man's Venom. Irony. First Marvel destroys Spidey's archenemy, then comes up with OMD/BND so Parker we know would cease to exist... great job, Marvel. Keep it up.
