I just realized “I’ve survived the Mike Costa Transformers comic, I can survive whatever 2018 Marvel Venom dish out. It won’t be worse then that.” Must be a very confusing statement to comic Venom fans lol

LMFAO earlier today I was JUST thinking about what a bizarro plot twist this is, as a person in both of these fandoms?

2009: Mike Costa writes some of the actual worst comics in human history, so bad that their notoriety spread beyond the Transformers fandom. Mike Costa claims that the Transformers aren’t real people with real emotions, and can’t have relationships because there aren’t any girls.

2012: James Roberts swoops in with More Than Meets The Eye, decides that all the Transformers are actually gay and live in a homonormative society, and gives us a buffet of canon queer relationships.

(We cross over to a parallel universe or alternate timeline, probably)

2016: Mike Costa writes Venom and gives us a tender, domestic, and fully queer story about a man and alien being struggling to overcome their checkered histories to be better for themselves and each other. Eddie and Venom both make a real effort to improve the communication and trust in their relationship, grow together as people, and have a child that Venom wants to raise in Eddie’s image.

2018: Don Cates writes Venom and begins the process of aggressively no-homo’ing Costa’s run by looping us back to the 2000s and making sure to loudly proclaim how terrible Eddie and Venom are and always have been for each other, how they don’t even like each other actually, and how their whole relationship is in fact nothing more than a toxic metaphor for Angst and Darkness!!11!1

HAHAHHAHA THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE HISTORY OUT

Mike “Transformers can’t love because they have no females” Costa
