SCARLET SPIDER Ends, SUPERIOR VENOM Begins

Coincidence much? With the announcement of the new SUPERIOR VENOM, Marvel Comics also reveals that it's end of the line for Peter Parker's clone Kaine in SCARLET SPIDER. 


The obviousness does not end there. According to the initial buzz for SUPERIOR VENOM, we'll be bidding adieu to Flash Thompson's long running "Agent Venom" as the Spider-Man supporting cast member and the Symbiote parts ways.

Then read what's written for the solicit for the final issue of Scarlet Spider:

SCARLET SPIDER #25
CHRIS YOST (W)
DAVID BALDEON (A)
Cover by Ryan Stegman
LAST DEVASTATING ISSUE!
• It’s over. Kaine did his best to be a hero. He failed.
• What about Houston?! Who lives? Who dies? Is there a place for the Scarlet Spider in this world? The answers will surprise you.
• Two years and 25 issues have led to THIS! Guest starring: MEXICO!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

Put two and two together and you'll come to the conclusion that either they're really just baiting us to get the other Spider titles or it's really Kaine that becomes the new Superior Venom. That or we could get a mind meld. 

Sucks though that Scarlet Spider's ending. I really wish I digged deep into the book but it lost me around issue 3. Perhaps Superior will do wonders for the guy and the character.
