dan slott interview with newsarama

Slott on Agent Venom's future

Newsarama interviewed SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN author, Dan Slott, about Venom's appearance in SSM #22.  Below are two very interesting answers from the interview:
***This article contains significant spoilers for Superior Spider-Man #22, on sale now.*** 
Nrama: People may not realize this, but you created the concept of Flash Thompson as Agent Venom before you handed it off to be turned into an ongoing series. What’s it like to have the character back and using him like you are here? 
Slott: It was fun to help with editor Steve Wacker and artist Humberto Ramos on the new set-up and then pass it off to Rick and then Cullen Bunn in the Venom series where they both did amazing stories. There is fun in seeing a new host. How will Venom react to the mob boss’ son? How will Venom react to Mac Gargan? How will it react to Flash Thompson? Part of the fun of Venom is to see it changing up hosts. Maybe it’s time for Flash’s era as Venom to be over. Maybe it’s time for something new.

Nrama: Last question, I have to ask: Agent Venom was just revealed as joining the Guardians of the Galaxy book next summer. What are your thoughts on that? 
Slott: Well, if you look at things from the Avengers point of view you know they know Agent Venom served with them in Rick Remender’s Secret Avengers run, and Captain America knows he’s a "good" Venom. But if you have Venom and the symbiote's shape-changing abilities can make it look like anything, and you’re joining a team with Captain Marvel, that Venom probably wants her to think you’re the "good" Agent Venom version. Who’s to say that "Agent Venom" in Guardians of the Galaxy is Flash? Maybe it’s a way for Venom to take advantage of Agent Venom's status; or... a good way to honor Flash.

venom joins guardians of the galaxy

GOtG - Venom
A few days back a preview image of the Free Comic Book Day cover of Guardians of the Galaxy showed a mysterious blacked out silhouette that many speculated as Venom.  I didn't post anything because nothing was confirmed, until now!  Per Newsarama, Venom is the newest member of the Guardians of the Galaxy:

As a reminder, The Guardians of the Galaxy Free Comic Book Day Special – free of course to comic shop visitors on May 3, 2014 at participating retailers – will offer readers their first glimpse at the “all-new Guardians of the Galaxy.” It sounds like Venom is there for a particular reason, and at the center of the story written by Brian Bendis with art by Nick Bradshaw. Here's Marvel initial description of the story: “The Guardians are about to welcome two new members – including Captain Marvel and one Mystery Marvel Superstar you’d never expect to see with the Guardians of the Galaxy! And this mysterious character is about to set off a chain reaction that takes our heroes to the farthest reaches of space – on a collision course with one of the deadliest threats in the cosmos!” And in a particular bit of synergy given Venom is best known as a Spider-Man character, the special will also feature a back-up story by Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli that the publisher says “lays the foundation for 2014’s top secret Spider-Man event…an all-new story that will rock the Wall-Crawler’s world to its core!”

How do you feel about Venom joining another team?  What about this top secret Spidey event?
