This is issue #11 of Venom Vol. 2 (2011-2013), titled "Road Trip, Part Two," originally released on December 21, 2011, with a cover date of February 2012. After the "Spider-Island" event, Flash Thompson is blackmailed by Crime-Master with the safety of his girlfriend Betty and his family, forcing him to defy orders and drive to Las Vegas with the Venom symbiote to retrieve a mysterious item. Along the way, his old enemy Jack O'Lantern, whose face Thompson disfigured with a grenade, is ordered to ride along, and the two sworn enemies are forced into a partnership in which each watches the other warily. During the trip they encounter a collapsing mine, and Thompson steps in to save people, only to witness Jack O'Lantern's disturbing methods firsthand; at a roadside diner, Jack O'Lantern recounts his twisted past of being abducted by Crime-Master as a child and raised as an assassin. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock arms himself in New York with a mission to "purify the symbiote," and Captain America assigns Red Hulk to hunt down the renegade Thompson and recover the symbiote. Written by Lan Medina, this issue leans toward dialogue and character work, slowing the pace after the intense action of earlier issues and focusing on the highly charged "partnership" between the villain Jack O'Lantern and Thompson.Editor's review
如果把《毒液V2》前十期看作一部高强度动作片，第11期就是一集黑色公路喜剧——只不过副驾驶上坐着连环杀手。雷曼德把汤普森与杰克灯这两个彼此仇恨的人硬塞进同一辆车，让整期变成一场漫长的心理拉锯：一边是努力守住底线的士兵，一边是把残忍当成家常便饭的疯子。麦地那的画风写实克制，杰克灯那张被炸掉鼻唇的脸在餐馆暖光下显得格外骇人，而路边矿难与餐馆两场戏又恰到好处地展示出两人的道德落差。作为单期，它几乎没有大场面，却把杰克灯的来历交代得干净利落，让这个反派从“造型怪异的小角色”变成真正令人不寒而栗的存在。对于追《毒液V2》“公路之旅”故事的读者，这期是不可跳过的人物戏；若只想看共生体大打出手，则可能略显清淡。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 正在追读《毒液V2》2011—2013系列的读者
- 喜欢反英雄题材与黑色幽默的漫威读者
- 对杰克灯、犯罪大师等蜘蛛侠反派感兴趣的人
- 欣赏以对话和人物刻画为主、节奏偏慢的漫画读者
Not a good fit for
- 希望每期都有大量打斗与大场面的读者
- 对血腥、暴力与心理扭曲情节较为敏感的读者
- 完全没有接触过毒液与蜘蛛侠背景的入门读者
Reading tips
- 建议先读第10期《公路之旅 第一部》，再进入本期的路上故事。
- 阅读时留意杰克灯讲述身世的那段对话，它是理解该反派动机的关键。
- 可以把它当作“人物特写”来读，重点看汤普森如何在任务与底线之间挣扎。
- 对连续性感兴趣者，可结合《蜘蛛岛》事件与前十期，理解汤普森叛逃的起因。

About the author
Rick Remender AuthorRick Remender is a comics writer whose nationality, dates of birth and death, and other personal details remain unclear in publicly available sources. The library holds as many as 64 of his works, spanning categories such as comics and cartoons, film and television adaptations, mystery and detective fiction, children's books, and art, which shows considerable range in his creative output. Representative works include volumes 2, 6, and issue 19 of the Venom series; volumes 1, 2, 4, and 5 of Captain America v3; and volume 4 of Uncanny Avengers. These works suggest that he excels at building narratives around well-known superheroes, developing plots and shaping characters within established worlds. Because public information is limited, his specific biography and creative career are difficult to detail; readers can chiefly come to know his writing style and thematic interests through the works listed above.
Lan Medina AuthorLan Medina is a comics creator included in the collection, though currently available public information is limited, and basic details such as nationality and dates of birth and death remain unclear. According to existing records, only one work is listed under this name, namely Venom Vol. 2 Issue 11. Judging from this work and its common classifications, Lan Medina's creative output falls within the field of comics and cartoon art, with work related to superhero subject matter. Because verifiable information is scarce, it is difficult to offer a comprehensive assessment of this creator's career, stylistic development, or overall influence. Based on the available information, readers may regard Lan Medina as an author who has contributed to the Venom comics series and is catalogued under children's books and comics and cartoons. The full scope of the work and further creative background await more substantial public documentation.
Nelson DeCastro AuthorNelson DeCastro is a comics creator about whom public information is limited. The only work of his confirmed in Chinese translation is Venom Vol. 2 Issue 11. Judging from its common categories of children's books and comics and cartoons, the work is aimed at younger readers and combines the imaginative appeal of superhero material with the readability of visual storytelling. Venom is one of the more recognizable characters in Marvel comics, and a single-issue story built around him must establish character and advance plot within a limited space, which places demands on a writer's sense of visual pacing and narrative rhythm. Existing sources do not specify DeCastro's exact role in this issue or his wider creative career, so his biography, nationality and professional path should not be guessed at. On the whole, his current presence among Chinese readers rests mainly on this one work, and an assessment of his style and broader influence must wait for more information to come to light.
Tony Moore AuthorTony Moore: domestic library records do not clearly indicate his nationality or dates of birth and death, and publicly available information is limited. Judging from the five works held in the collection, his creations mainly revolve around the Venom series, including Venom Volume 1, Venom Volume 2, Venom Volume 4, Venom V2 Issue 11, and Venom Issue 14. These works commonly fall under categories such as children's books, comics and cartoons, premium fiction, and film and television tie-ins, suggesting that his writing combines visual storytelling with a young-adult readership and often involves superhero and science-fiction adventure themes. Based on the available material, Tony Moore's name is closely associated with the Marvel character Venom, and his works serve as a bridge between comic readers and film and television audiences; however, information about his personal background and creative approach remains scarce.
