Who is Anti-Venom?

Anti-Venom is a Marvel comic book character that appeared in some of the more recent runs of the Amazing Spider-Man comics. He is a fan favourite.

Sounds cool, where can I read him?

His first appearance was in ASM #569 and lasted until the Spider Island mini event/story arc. He also had his own series called "Anti-Venom".

How can I help bring him back?

However you want. Most people are tweeting @DanSlott and @Marvel "Bring back Anti-Venom." also using #SpiderJesus.

Anti-venom? why was he so beloved by people?

Very entertaining and funny character and personality. He had a cool power which allowed him to cure people (even of cancer). A lot of readers consider Anti-Venom as Eddie Brock's best character development because it changed him from a character only known for hatred of Spider-Man to an insane but well meaning good guy with awesome powers.

He also had a pretty cool design.

Mini Update

There is now a petition to bring him back if you're interested.

The character looks cool, looks like Deadpool without being a jerk (and the murder thing)
