As a Spider-Man fan that grew up in the 90s, this news from Comic-Con has me a little excited:

Spider-Man vs. Venom is an iconic Marvel match-up, and one that fans have witnessed multiple times before. But not this Spider-Man versus this Venom.
The four-issue "Darkest Hours" storyline starting with November's Superior Spider-Man #22, announced Thursday afternoon at Comic-Con International in San Diego, will feature the first encounter between Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus's mind controlling Peter Parker's body) and Agent Venom (the classic symbiotic, now mostly under the control of long-time Spidey supporting cast member Flash Thompson).
Co-written by regular series writer Dan Slott and his frequent collaborator Christos Gage and illustrated by Humberto Ramos (one of Superior Spider-Man's three main artists), it's said to be a meaningful conflict for both characters — with the added context that Flash Thompson grew up idolizing Spider-Man, albeit a very different Spidey than the one currently operating.
Except this time, Spider-Man will likely be the more brutal side of this classic battle. Think this might be what finally pushes Thompson's symbiote over edge (which we've seen Flash walk a few times, now)?
