Summary
Venom #22, "Father's Day," was released on August 8, 2012. It is the final issue of the series written by Rick Remender, with interior art by Declan Shalvey and a cover by Tony Moore. In the aftermath of the "Savage Six" event, Flash Thompson's deepest secret has been exposed to those closest to him, and he sets his sights on Jack O'Lantern, who has kidnapped and killed innocent people. While maneuvering against Jack, Flash follows leads while recalling his childhood, scarred by his alcoholic and violent father Harrison, and his mother Rosie's silence and passivity. Deep in the sewers, he discovers that Jack's trap is built from his father's remains: his father's severed head is lit up as Jack's signature pumpkin, and a bomb is buried beneath the body. The issue sets the act of revenge alongside Flash's self-examination, leading him to see that both he and Jack were shaped by "fathers," yet to make a different choice. Note that this entry covers a single issue, and no official Chinese edition has yet appeared.
Editor's review
这一期看似是一场复仇战，实质上却是一份关于“原生家庭”的心理诊断。雷门德没有给出激烈的打斗高潮，反而让弗莱什在纽约的夜行与闪回之间反复审视自己的暴力基因，把“毒液”从一件外星战衣变成了他内心创伤的外化。沙尔维的分镜沉稳、色调压抑，李·劳里奇（Lee Loughridge）的上色让回忆与现实在血腥与温情之间切换，效果极佳。作为雷门德执笔的最后一期，它把自第1期埋下的“犯罪大师—南瓜灯杰克”伏笔一次性收束，同时为库伦·邦（Cullen Bunn）接手后的“ evils”篇章腾出空间。对追踪“特工毒液”成长线的读者来说，这一期是不可跳过的人物转折点。
