4-Venom

Before you ask, yes.

I’m riding the spider-cycle in the subway tunnel.

No, I’m not allowed to do this.

And neither are you.

But I picked up a stray down on 14th street.

Sometimes you just can’t get them to leave you alone.

Amazing, right?

Normally I’d hit pause and enjoy your awe but instead

GET DOWN!

This little tentacle stayed home.

This little tentacle stayed in the subway.

And this

Oh yeah!

Smooth riding.

Little lost?

Join the club.

If I was the paranoid type, I’d say robots just hate me.

Okay!

The cape is not stupid Sorry!

You are not a dragon or a man, don’t be a cry bot.

H.E.R.B.I.E.?

Were all the good robots name taken?

Bad Robot!

Spider-Man, are you playing with that thing or fighting it?

You got weapons use them.

Yeah, untested weapons

Electro webs?

Not sounding safe.

Hence they are weapons.

Good point.

This will be pain

How’s that for ultimate?

What’s so funny?

What?

Oh, gotta go.

Well that was exuberating and all, but let’s head for something reeaally scary: School.

Wondered what that thing wanted anyway?

Robos just hate me

Bio-sample obtained.

Maybe today won’t be so bad

Oh, man!

Not again.

Hey, Peter.

Harry!

Remind me to buy you a watch or maybe a watch company.

Hurry up.

We’ll miss homework.

Friends.

Accept no substitute.

I don’t how I’d survive high school without Harry Osborn.

Sorry, Parker.

This is the boys locker room.

He always got my back.

And conviniently extra our wear.

You’ll forget where you live if MJ didn’t walk you home.

Just make sure you are not late tonight.

Late?

For?

My Dad’s out of town.

The penthouse is open for movie marathon with you, me and MJ.

Excuse us, but can we borrow Pete for a tinsy sec?

Can’t it wait?

Harry and I

Parker.

Talk.

Now!

Wow what’s the deal?

The deal is these guys: Luke, Ava, Danny and ugh, Sam, They are super heroes sorta like me.

Power Man, White Tiger, Iron Fist and ugh, Nova.

But I can’t tell my best friend that, so it’s time for

Wheel of excuses!

Aunt May is Sick.

Studying at MJ.

Rented chilli dogs.

Lame story.

Eh

It’s a club thing A club I just joined today

Sandwich Club

Sandwich?

Later, Harry.

Welcome home, my cherrished bio-sample.

Fantastic.

Better than I ever imagined.

It’s magnificent.

Marvelous.

It’s an abomination.

Monstrous!

Did you get the sample?

You have no idea Mr. Osborn.

I isolated the deadliest aspect of Spider-man’s DNA.

It’s incredible. Distilled aggression.

Pure Venom.

You wanted an army?

Imaging, one clading in living armor that infuse your soldiers with Spiderman’s power.

All I need is a few months

Months?

Months.

This is practically a new lifeform.

The dangers of rushing

I’m afraid the lighting will strike twice.

I gave you the facilities and the body to handle our unique scientific endavours.

Use them.

I will have something for you tonight.

That I didn’t need to see.

Why we found out about this from Fury and not you?

Um, because I just got here?

You guys aren’t my mommy and daddies.

Stand together or fall alone, Pete.

That’s why we wanted to talk.

You wanna talk?

Let’s talk about how you made me blow out my best friend.

My time is my time.

That was the deal I made with Fury.

We also made a deal to work together, remember?

Yeah, we get a job now, Parker.

You don’t need to kiss up to money bags anymore for cash.

There are many paths between the mind and the mouth.

You should try using them sometimes.

Wait, Harry

I can explain

You don’t need to explain anything.

You have you detention friends to save your butt now.

They are definitely not my friends.

Oh yea?

Then what are they?

It’s complicated.

Didn’t use to be.

Handeled with that Peter Parker finess.

Not now, MJ.

You mean “How do I fix that, MJ?”

Then I say: Harry feels left out, so include him.

Bring the new kids to his place tonight.

Maybe at the end of the first flick it will be like old times with new friends.

If you say so

We don’t know where he came from.

We don’t know what he is capable of.

But clearly he things he is better than the rest of us

Harry, everything alright?

It’s nothing, I’m fine.

What is it son?

We have no secrets.

Pete’s hanging with some new guys and he sort of ditched me.

That doesn’t sound like him.

I know.

But ever since those new kinds showed up he’s been different, distracted.

And interfering with the city’s public transportation system, Who is this Spiderman think he is?

This is not up for public debate.

Innocent New-Yorkers could’ve been killed.

He is a menace.

So I’m going to move in the sewers, and try an albino aligator for the circus, okay?

Dad of the year.

Maybe I should learn to wall crawl.

It will work itself out, Harry.

these things always do.

I left a thousand dollars in case you get hungry.

See you later son.

Hey, it’s Harry.

Harry Osborn.

What do you think we could do with a thousand dollars and my dad’s penthouse?

Think of it as a team bonding exercise.

Just without the costumes and fighting and stuff.

I don’t need a new friend.

Maybe not.

But if you’d like to see my life, its gonna be on my terms.

Harry’s cool, it’s gonna be fun.

Flash?

Party!

Didn’t see that coming.

The new life form escaped.

Octavius, what happened?

you wanted a monster, i made you a monster

or a masterpiece

History will be my judge.

Where is it?

Best guess, it’s going back to where it came from.

Spiderman.

I’m missing homework for this?

This wasn’t supposed to be this MJ!

Hey guys

Some party, huh?

I thought we were watching a movie?

Me too, but apparently we’re watching half the school party down at Harry’s house instead.

The whole school actually.

Except for the ones who weren’t invited.

What?

They’re good nachos!

I invited them, Harry.

I thought maybe if everyone got to know each other things could be cool.

Harry, I’m trying here, c’mon.

I don’t need anymore friends.

As you can see, I’ve got plenty.

You guys are the best!

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

Maybe my plan was a little ill advised.

Any ideas?

Yeah

Bathroom break.

Nervous flatter.

Ever since first grade.

Spider sense is going crazy.

What?

Flash!

Get out of here!

Parker!

Let’s see if Osborn’s fancy toilet has a swirly button.

Something’s coming.

Here!

Eat the nerd!

Get it of me!

Flash!

Tell me he rented a lion.

What?

Rich people rent lions.

I’ve got my share of anti-flash fantasies,

But even I can’t let him get eaten by toilet sludge.

Where’s Pete?

Pete?

Right behind you, just go!

Great party, Harry.

Call me, okay?

Everyone, out!

Wait, this is my house.

I’ll only say this once without laughing: Let the jock go, stink breath.

I think he likes you, “webs”.

Feel free to ask it out, “bucket head”.

I think it likes you better.

I got this.

Who’s up for deep fried?

I feel a little

It’s in my pants!

And again, as fun as this might normally be, even Nova should get sewer gooped.

Okay, this time not a robot.

Definitely organic, alive, jumping from host to host.

A symbiote!

Hello?

Science whiz, remember?

It’s biology.

Heh, I said whiz.

GET IT OFF ME!

How do we stop that thing without hurting Nova. Ideas?

My irresistible comedic banter seems to have no effect.

That’s all I got.

I can take it.

Let’s not be hasty, make him promise to clean your room or something first.

Kidding.

Don’t touch it or it’ll stick to you!

Not if you touch it hard enough.

Power Man!

No!

This is bad.

This has been a blast ugly.

But now it is time for you to get flushed.

Break the bond soldier, electro-webs.

My inner voices are getting really disturbing.

Right, but disturbing.

C’mon Power Man.

That’s like static cling to you!

Fight it off.

Oh, schnitzel.

We made it, Harry.

Yes, kids.

Your party favor tonight is not getting squished in pancake-dom.

All life is sacred, creature.

But what you’re doing is wrong.

Let him go before I forget I’m a pacifist.

Hasn’t anyone ever heard of a long distance attack?

Keep it up, Iron Fist.

We’ll find a way to contain it.

Iron Fist!

I can hear its thoughts, they’re

They’re confused.

Spiderman, it wants you.

What a problem.

I’m sorta planning on being me for the rest of my life.

how about we compromise?

I get my body on week-ends and weekdays.

You get it when I have to moan the loan.

That maniac is

We must stop this menace

For once I’m with you.

You’re the menace though.

MJ, What are you doing?

Getting the scoop of the year.

This is my ticket at a job at the Daily Bugle.

More like a ticket to the hospital.

Get out!

Enough is enough!

You’re not hurting anyone else on this team.

You want me so bad?

Come and get me.

I isolated the deadliest aspect of Spiderman’s DNA.

Distilled aggression.

Pure Venom.

I am Venom!

Friends

yummy

Spiderman, I know you’re in there.

I don’t wanna hurt you.

Hold on, White Tiger.

Let’s talk.

I know you’re in there, Spiderman.

There is only Venom!

I wish we hadn’t just have a special moment where you sacrificed yourself in junk.

Sorry webhead.

Do you see Peter?

Can’t get a clear shot.

It’s stronger than Spiderman.

Harry!

No!

Alright ugly, leave my friends alone.

Harry!

Harry?

I can’t hold on!

I think I just pulled out my only chest hair.

Sorry.

He’s— too— strong— can’t— do it— alone—

Nova, I need my hands.

You wanna be Spiderman?

You’re in for a big shock, Venom.

Don’t tell Fury.

That’s definitely gonna void the warranty.

It’s a monk thing.

You’ve seen my friend, Peter?

Shrimpy kind?

Spaghetti arms?

Three dollar hair-cut?

Only a 98 average?

That’s not a jokey insult?

Don’t worry, he is fine.

Good.

He is my best friend.

You destroyed it?

Thank goodness.

Get the heroes some help.

Harry, you could have been killed.

You’re lucky Spiderman was around.

Sure, hurray for Spiderman.

Begin the tirade, I’m ready.

On the contrary, Octavius.

You of all people should know how genius can rise from disaster.

The symbiote was a sucess.

I want an improved prototype one that the spider and his troublemakers can’t stop.

I’ll make it my life’s work, sir.

Um, the flappy end does the cleaning.

Uh, I knew that.

Hey.

Hey.

Double “hey” means you two needs some guy-time.

I’m sorry. Hey! Jinx.

We good?

If you’re still my best friend?

Always.

Then we’re great.

And listen, those other guys aren’t bad.

Except for Sam.

Sam is

Sam.

Maybe one day we could all hang.

If you like em, cool.

If not, no worries.

You know what?

Let’s give it a shot.

What’s the harm in making a new friend?
