Here's Venom!

In a recent interview with Comic Book Resources, Amazing Spider-Man editor Stephen Wacker revealed something very interesting: the identity of the new Venom. The symbiotic suit from outer space has long been a thorn in Spidey's side. First bonding with the web-slinger himself, then with both Eddie Brock and Mac Gargan. It is also the "father" of the Carnage symbiote. Now, the next host will be... Flash Thompson! The jock has always been both a friend and a foil to Peter Parker, bullying him in high school, and befriending him in college. Flah later joined the U.S. army and lost both his legs in service. Now he can walk again, if only for a brief time. Flash cannot use the suit more than twenty times, or it will bond with his psyche. Wacker also mentioned that Flash will have a large armament "beyond those giant teeth". Pretty cool.
