So, this has me deeply concerned. First off this is purely speculation but I am entitled to speculate.
I have a deep fear the Scarlet Spider will end up following the trail of Venom off the cliff. Scarlet Spider, let's be honest, is AWESOME. Great art, great writing, Kaine is a BAMF. I love having a book that is out of New York but tied to the Spider mythos.
I can only assume Venom went down due to sales. I was enjoying, not as well as other arcs, what Bunn has been currently been doing. However, I argue once again that the change of location mixed with a fresh batch of characters is great. MARVEL GET MORE CHARACTERS OUT OF NEW YORK. As much as I love "team-ups" and such, I didn't really like seeing Silver Surfer in Daredevil. Though i loved seeing Daredevil in Deadpool. So it works for me in some cases but doesn't in the other.
I have loved that Scarlet Spider and Venom, in a sense except maybe Circle of Four, has avoided being joined by big character which we all know is a tactic to boost sales.
I even thought it was really interesting to have the cross over between Venom and Scarlet Spider. I think I need to read it again but I liked it.
Thus back to the front idea, is Scarlet Spider doomed to suffer the same fate as Venom?
What can we do to save this great book?
