Yes, he has eaten brains. It happened in a series called "the Hunger" (issue #1)n released in August of 1996. If memory serves, the guy's name was Frank, and Eddie vomited after realizing what he'd done. Great series.
I'm sure I have a pic somewhere...
well, I can't find any now, but I know that I've posted one here before--and people liked it. The series is on my scan list.
When the text of Patricia is normal, it means she is talking, but when it is white text on black background, it means the symbiote is taking (or has taken) control, correct?

Exactly. So is it fair to say that I can add you to the list of fans of the Tsunami title? The story is fab--but they never got the word out, so I've made it a personal mission of mine to do so. I only wish I'd started earlier, but honestly, I never expected to generate this kind of response.
It looks really good, but I can't find a site to order them off of! Roar! Marvel's website isn't any good, either, at least for the Lethal Protector/The Hunger/Separation Anxiety series (is Hunger good? I've heard a couple people say it is).
__________________ Ask me about my "obvious and unpleasant agenda of hatred."
"The Hunger" is excellent--it really showcases some poignant moments between Brock and the symbiote. Over the years, their relationship--like any worth it's salt--has evolved and changed many times--and each has sacrificed himself for the other various times, and they've also had their share of problems--Spectacular Spidey showed the symbiote frequently stepping out on Brock to feed on the life-force of others. When separated from each other, their reunions are usually a source of joy for both of them, but not always.
If you can find it--you should snag it. If you don't like it, I'd be really surprised.
B-E-A-UTIFUL, Hostile. Have you thought about submitting this in the Spidey wallpaper contest thread? I think you should.
And as Nerien mentioned, if anyone has that "sinner takes all" bride of Venom cover, I'd appreciate seeing it again as well. It's one of the images I lost when my computer crashed, and one I'd love to have back. The issue is also conspicuously absent from my collection--along with one more--but I can't remember which one, though.
Venom:Lethal Protector is 6 issue's long. but if you want the whole Life foundation experiance you need to get Venomeperation Anxiety too, thats four more issues
there's Venom:the Hunger wich is 4 issues long and
Spectacular Spiderman:vol 2 #1-#5(the Hunger) wich features Venom and is about the Symbiote going on a killing spree and dea;'s with Eddie's cancer
Well, I thinkthat list is great for starters, but if you want more I'd recommend:
"The Enemy Within" (3)--the first of this series has a glow in the dark cover. Very cool.
"The Madness" (3)--this series features a run-in with Juggernaut, and Venom getting a little romantic action with Beck.
"Finale" (3 I think)--Venom suffers from a little government-induced memory loss--with a guest appearance from your friendly neighborhood Spider-man.
"The Mace" (3)--introduction of Mace--Great sidestory of Brock and Beck. Not as good a story as "Madness", but better art.
I also recommend:
Ultimate Spider-man Venom Origins-USM #33-38--The introduction of Eddie Brock (in this version Parker and Brock were childhood friends) and introduction of the living costume.
"Funeral Pyre" (3)--with the Punisher
There is more, of course, but that ought to keep you busy for a while
I LOATHE when creators do that. Making one storyarc span like 5 different titles of the same character, so you have to jump around and search to get the whole story. I hated it in Xmen with 'X-cutioner's Song', I hate it in Spiderman with 'Web of Carnage', I hate it in Age of Apocalypse, which had it's own set of like 30 comics of different titles...
Nerien, was that you who e-mailed me that picture? It was, wasn't it? I really should let you post it, but since you spent the time sifting through all those pics looking for it, I'll save you the trouble.
if it wasn't nerien--THANK YOU TO THE RANDOM DO-GOODER WHO SEARCHED AT LENGTH SO I COULD HAVE THIS PIC AGAIN.
