Who is the better Spider-Man anti-hero: Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) or Venom (Eddie Brock)
Venom is the better antagonist overall but Felicia is a better anti-hero.
Personally, I always thought Black Cat should have had the recognition and popularity outside of comic book fans that Venom had. Luckily, with the Jed Mackay run she seems to have been redefined and grown in popularity for the better. I personally always thought she was a more interesting character than Venom. Eddie Brock is a little too much of a dude-bro and represents the worst in toxic masculinity for my tastes. Not saying masculinity is bad, there are some masculine characters like Wolverine who represent what it means to be masculine in a more balanced, nuanced way but Venom takes that shlock way too far if you ask me.
Black cat. Venom has been garbage lately
The Donny Cates Venom was good. Nothing amazing but was worth reading. Jed Mackay's Black Cat run is miles better and is one of the best comics Marvel has put out in years along with Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil, Immortal Hulk and Moon Knight (also by Jed MacKay).
@batstroke2000: I have to disagree. Cates' venom is the worst thing he's ever done imo. I hate to say it because I've thoroughly enjoyed a lot of his other work
