So, this is the Flash Tompshon Venom? His lower jaw and feet look weird other than that it's okey.

I love Taskmaster. Such an awesome character. I suggest that anyone who hasn't read the Taskmaster: Unthinkable mini series from a few years back, should definitely pick it up. Great read.

Most of the time Flash's venom looks like military gear, but at times he can "Venom- out" and look like this

The artwork is pretty damn tight.

Artwork isn't bad but his depiction of Venom sucks. Please for the love of GOD update Taskmasters duds. He is still wearing his underwear on the outside and he still has the swashbuckler boots on....

Most of the time, Flash is in control of Venom and keeps it looking like the military outfit. Once in a while, he loses his cool and Venom takes over making it look more like the traditional Venom.

Same Venom, 2 different states. Imagine water vs ice. Same thing... 2 different states.

Is it just me? or hasen't the black symbiote traveling around different hosts become a litte boring?

I wanna see the return of the True Venom, Eddie Brock was just awesome when he fought Spidey. Fortunato, Gargan and Flash are a bleak shadow of the menace Eddie Brock/Venom character.

hawkeye is in need of a good update. the whole "military/matrix" look was cool back in 92.

When is Taskmaster going to just be an anti-hero in the vein of Deadpool? Tired of him being a villain now. I feel he's misunderstood lol

Taskmaster is great & should be always be an "anti-villain" as opposed to an "anti-hero".
That is,he's essentially a bad guy since he trains & works with villains but really is more of a mercenary & in it for the money.

Given his skill set,he likes to train using superhero abilities & test himself against them.
Fighting bad guys would bore him. He's up for it if it happens obviously.
Also,his garish costume is great..it's comics & outlandish looks should be favored.
Making costumes "real world" is "real boring"!

Flash Thompson looks like the military version when he is in control, but when he gets pissed and the symbiote starts to gain control, he changes into the more classic looking Venom and becomes more savage.

@ gambit89

Venom is working with the Secret Avengers, so it is not known to the public that he is on the team. Remember, the public thinks of Venom as a villain. Plus, the Secret Avengers are not a known team to the public, they are black ops, so not only can they be seen by the public, but they certainly can't be seen helping what the public considers a villain. :)

The Venom comic is pretty good! I really like the angle they're taking and having him on the Secret Avengers is interesting. I really want to read "Minimum Carnage" as well as see a Spidey Venom team up with Peter and Flash letting all the secrets out.

[frick] anyone who says that Taskmaster's costume is fine as is. Those stupid [frick]ing pirate boots and underpants are a determent to the entire industry.

He needs an update BADLY so does magneto.
