Venom 28 SPOILERS, DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED

There’s no way you can quit us.

De Nile is not just a river in Egypt

Don’t worry, @Anthony will find a new monkey to chain to his basement wall to entertain you people… :wink:

We want the chicken, not some new Monkey

U urself allude to the fact that Dylan and Codex are the same person.

I’m not sure what that has to do with the comment you quoted.

There are two Dylans.

1610 is Codex.

616 is Dylan Brock.

I think most people would’ve preferred Codex to be a brand new 1610 character (like Miles) and not a new version of an already established 616 character.

As brand new 1610 characters (like Miles) tend to do better spec wise then those with 616 counterparts (Maker, pic any of the others from the years of Ultimate comics).

I’m not sure we really are getting anywhere though. We don’t need to agree. Cheers Mike.

In all seriousness, I was bummed when Codex was just that universe’s Dylan. It would have been way more special if he was a new character. I think it killed the potential.

Let’s just hope Codex disappoints Knull, Knull squashes him and then when Dylan 616 returns to his universe Earth, he uses his power for good… Then we can all just wish we held onto our Venom #7 and #9’s :wink:

No, it should be considered his 1st app, because he’s a new character.

If and when codex becomes more developed as a character, I don’t think people will be down on him anymore. Plus his look is cool and they wouldn’t just drop a moneymaker like codex.

you know there is no escape. but please keep telling that to yourself

who’s Marvel character outgrew his or her past persona
i can only think of DC character right now
Robin(Grayson) = Nightwing
Speedy = Arsenal

Good comparisons, but the reverse here is true since Dylan hasn’t developed a persona yet except in this new reality. So his present persona is just plain old Dylan which will probably eventually change.

I still feel Codex is gonna be pretty big in the future, Cates will be blind to waste an opportunity like that on a throwaway character. Not sure why people think he’s gonna die at the end of the arc either just because Black Winter did. Cates won’t be that predictable (hopefully for him).

His look is Knull. Even the same colors.

Codex has no where near the heat that Black Winter had or Cosmic Ghost Rider had and Cates killed both in 3-4 issues. He has a tendency to do that.

Or that’s the curveball… make people love the new villain and then just kill’em, since we got a Dylan with Codex powers on Earth 616 :wink:

Already done with Black Winter just recently in Thor. Unless Cates wants the title of Predictable New Villain Killer Cates.

I don’t think Black Winter died…

Don’t you know I took your advice and complained to Marvel and he was forced to stop ripping off Moongirl that’s why he turned Black Winter into a snowflake a dig at me lol
:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

No doubt, it’s Marvel. Just the perception of death, since you can’t die if you never actually lived.

I have all my Venom 7 and 9’s. Being oh so patient.

Marvel Comics should just change its name to Immortal Marvel Comics.
