We Wish You A Happy New Year

We've reached the end of yet another year, and as is common for the season, we find ourselves reflecting back upon the past...and planning for the future. The odd thing about this particular year is that we find ourselves actually looking forward to the upcoming twelve-month span. What's even stranger is that we are looking forward to some of the changes that the new year will bring.

Now typically, we are downright petrified by change. We tend to acclimate to new things rather slowly and don't like our routines mucked with. We are also overly pessimistic and typically only see the negative aspects of the "new," glamorizing the "old" into something greater than it ever had been.

That being said, we look forward to this new year with warm thoughts...hope if you will. We believe that this upcoming year holds potential. That things will turn out to be greater than we expect. That new opportunities will turn into new pleasures and realms of enjoyment.

And why do we have this hope you might ask? One word: Venom.

This next year, Venom will be transported from the paneled pages of our much beloved sequential art and thrust upon the silver screen. We're talking the real Venom here. Not Mac Gargan (Venom II) - the tripe that we are currently being forced to injest in today's comics. We refer to Eddie Brock. Eddie F@cking Brock*...in celluloid.

'Bout damn time.

*Eddie Brock's middle name is, in fact, not "F@cking" but Allan. By replacing Mr. Brock's middle name with "F@cking" we meant no disrespect - we were merely using the term as an emphatic to express our jubilation.

...Come to think of it, "Allan" does mean "harmony" which could be used to describe f@cking...Okay, maybe not f@cking per se, but the intimate act of coitus. Yes, we ask our readers to replace the above line with Eddie Intimate Act of Coitus Brock. Then all parties should be satisfied...
