In Joe Quesada's "Cup of Joe" on MySpace Comic Books last week, he got an interesting piece of mail from someone asking him a very special favor. Here's what the message was: Hey Joe, could you create a new symbiote character for Spider-Man to fight? Joe's reply? ...hmmm…let me think about it for a second. Okay, you got it! Apparently, he wasn't kidding around. Coming to an Amazing Spider-Man comic near you this June is Anti-Venom! Wondering what the hell an Anti-Venom looks like? Take a peek ... Read More
