After many years, I'm thinking about picking up Venom again.
Venom is by far my favorite Marvel character, specifically Eddie Brock and specifically the 90s version. I just love me some unhinged toxic relationship between a man and alien goo as they go on long, surprisingly eloquent rants about the ills of society and how they will eat people.
All that was back-reading, on the account I wasn't alive in the 90s. When I first started reading comics (mostly DC), it was around 2015-2016 when I was 9 and Flash Thompson was Venom and I really didn't enjoy it that much, after that it was the Eddie Brock return and King in Black, which I enjoyed a bit more, but not as much as 90s version. But I still read it. A few years later, I reread it and enjoyed it more.
Anyway, I stopped at the conclusion of KiB.
Now, I want to go back. I re-read the classics, still enjoy them, I'm re-reading the KiB and actually enjoying it. Tried reading Agent Venom stuff again and giving it a chance, it's just not for me. But after KiB my plan is to actually read to read until I'm up to date, which is like half a decade.
So, I'm following the spreadsheet, but I'd like to know what are the superfluous event tie ins that I can skip and what not. Also, what's everyone's opinion on what comes after.
