* HypeBacklash: Prior to the launch of ''Venom'' Vol. 3, Marvel -- seemingly in response to the fandom's dislike of Brian Michael Bendis' cleansing of the symbiote in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' -- hyped up the Venom symbiote getting a new evil host who would put the recently-redeemed symbiote at-risk of backsliding into its bloodthirsty monstrous self. The new host, Lee Price, was almost universally repudiated among the Venom fandom and sales tanked, causing Marvel to [[AbortedArc cut Price's tenure as Venom short]] and return the symbiote to Eddie Brock.

Costa's run not only opens with Flash and the symbiote separated, but replaces him with Lee Price, a brutal, sadistic asshole who one-ups Mac Gargan as a unrepentant, bloodthirsty Venom who does everything he can to undermine the restoration the symbiote went through in ''Space Knight''. Once the host changes to Eddie the book starts GrowingTheBeard with Venom going straight again, fleshing out the Venom symbiote's character and Eddie succeeding in repairing the Venom symbiote's corruption from its tenure with Lee Price. However despite it hitting it's stride, the book was constantly interrupted for the Poison trilogy written by Cullen Bunn, leaving the book with a mixed reception.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans quickly repudiated the implications that Eddie Brock had eaten people as Venom, with some critics complaining that it was like Costa got his information from the Marvel Comics Database wiki and was trying to capitalize on the ''Venom'' movie's success by characterizing Eddie and the symbiote as being romantic partners -- despite them having spent years trying to kill each other.

* CreatorsPet: Mike Costa intended Lee Price to have had a lengthier tenure as Venom than he got, and to become a recurring antagonist to Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson. The majority of the fandom, however, repudiated Price based on his "edgelord" appearance and abuse of the symbiote. The fact that he not only stole the Mania symbiote from fan-favorite Andi Benton but kept it after the ''Venom Inc.'' crossover further re-enforced the general fandom's hatred of Price, and many rejoiced when Donny Cates unceremoniously killed him off in the lead-up to ''ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage''.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Unlike the two villains introduced in Mike Costa's run, the Sleeper symbiote has been a hit with the Venom fandom thanks to it being raised by the Venom symbiote and Eddie to be good, and its unique design and power set. Its popularity was also helped by its appearance in ''ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage'', where it came to the rescue of Eddie's son Dylan and took on a badass wolf form and adorable cat form.
