After so many years of writing Amazing Spider-Man, you'd think Dan Slott would have completely run out of new angles on Peter Parker by now. But somehow, that never seems to be the case. Even in a crossover that's geared heavily toward overhauling Venom's status quo in Marvel Legacy, the most fascinating element in "Venom Inc." is how Slott and co-writer Mike Costa are handling Spider-Man himself.
This second chapter of the crossover devotes most of its attention to the Spidey/Flash Thompson dynamic, one that's just been changed in a big way now that Flash has become the new Anti-Venom. At this point, it's nice just to see Flash back in action after he was unceremoniously demoted from the Venom role in 2016. But Slott does some great work here in exploring the complicated three-way relationship between Peter, Flash and the symbiote itself. Where Spider-Man is normally among the most compassionate and selfless heroes in the Marvel U., his hatred for the symbiote and all the damage it's caused over the years clouds his judgment. At one point, Flash accuses Peter of being a bully, which is a terrific subversion of the old-school Peter/Flash relationship.
