Rick Remender, the writer of "Venom," "Uncanny X-Force," "Fear Agent" and more, spoke with CBR TV at WonderCon about his upcoming sequel to "Last Days of American Crime" and his general shift away from the independent comics scene to working for Marvel.

Remender comments on the overall positive reception he and artist Jerome Opeña have enjoyed on "X-Force," describing the amount of work that went into the title before the first issue ever hit the stands, delving a bit into the events surrounding Archangel and how the character’s lack of historical explanation fueled the character’s storyline.

His and Tony Moore’s initial "Venom" issues were also discussed, with Remender explaining his new take on the title character before segueing into a discussion of the finale of "Fear Agent," his, Moore and Opeña’s ongoing series of miniseries published by Dark Horse Comics.


Many thanks to Comic Book Resources for the following video interview.

I really enjoy both titles. I agree that I wish Flash would remain as Venom.

Uncanny X-Force has been excellent. I've been rather skeptical of the new Venom, but if it's as good as everyone here says it is I'm going to have to check it out.

Rick Rememder is one of Marvel's best writers currently. Uncanny X-Force and Venom are really 2 of Marvel's best books right now. Now if Remender would relieve Daniel Way of his writing duties on Deadpool, that would be awesome. Oh and I met Remender at New York Comic Con last year. Really nice classy guy.
