Venom: Lethal Protector II #2 - “Crash Course!” (2023)

Drawing of Venom from the Spider-Man series and Belome from Super Mario RPG, shared by the character design supervisor for Super Mario RPG, Kazuyuki Kurashima, in 2018. The characters were drawn together due to both of them having long tongues.

but with this issue it's looking up for me because they're finally talking about focusing on finding symbiotes :) to bring back/take down eddie. also the symbiote suddenly has a normal personality and partnership again lol

GAMERS, IT'S FINALLY HERE

Welcome to the FINALE of the it! its! swag! SHOWDOWN! After several close calls and huge sweeps alike, our finalists come head-to-head.

In one corner we have VENOM, who fought against some of the biggest and scariest contestants in the bracket!

I was the first victim, I never stood a chance against everyone's first monsterfucker awakening

The mighty toy soldier, who everyone thought from the start was going to disintegrate all other characters, fell quickly

Everybody's favorite blood-powered babygirl bot, V1, could not even come close to stopping the monster's rampage

Even the beloved murderbot was itself murdered by this insatiable extraterrestrial

In the second corner, we have Hallownest's very own LITTLE GHOST, who fought and won against the power of The Bit several times!

Pratchett's luggage never even stood a chance against this insectoid warrior

The knight's next opponent, the very ocean itself, fell just as quickly

As if that wasn't enough, the bug demonstrated its swag by defeating every single other beetle in the world

Finally, the long-time nigh-worshipped GNC icon gonzo nearly claimed the battle, but in the end still could not compete

AND NOW WE COME TO THIS. Who will claim the title of the ultimate it/its swag-holder and who will taste defeat? It is time for me to ask, once more...
