Yes, the Halloween BotM will also count. :)

October is the month of Halloween and horror, so our villain is a horrible symbiote who made Spiderman's life a living hell. Meet Venom, our Villain of the Month for October.
As always, you can find his challenges in the villains post, in the seperate Villain/portal Hero thread or right here, down below:

Venom

Active from 01/10/2015 - 31/10/2015

description

1. Alien Symbiote
Read a book co-written by two authors (no anthologies) or where someone is inhabited by a symbiote/parasite.

2. Agent Venom
Read a book that the author dedicated to their agent (it has to be the dedication, not the part at the end where authors basically thank everyone they know) or where an agent/spy is the main character.

3. Creator of Carnage, the serial killer
Read a book which is the last of a trilogy or longer series or where a serial killer is the main antagonist.

Brendan O'neill | 204 comments Question for the Alien Symbiote challenge. In The Drawing of the Three Roland enters people minds and influences them mentally as well as taking control of them on occasion. Would this count as being inhabited by a symbiote/parasite?

In this case, no. The difference for me is that with mind control, only part of you (the mind) takes over the target. A symbiote/parasite physically merges with the target's body and that is what I'm aiming for with this challenge.

If you want to check out the old sci-fi BOTMs there is a discussion thread for this book. One of my favorites.

Venom 2. Agent Venom Shadow Man The main character is an FBI agent (and she goes after serial killers, so I feel like I should get double credit :P) And, by the way, this was a great, if very dark and twisted, book. 2/3 for Venom.

This week was a victory for Team Marvel with Brendan's recruitment of Mr. Fantastic and Christina's recruitment of Valkyrie providing the main chunk of the points. Shawnie also added the only Energy Cell that was awarded this week to Team Marvel's count.
For Team DC Wayland was the main contributor by taking the achievement for being the first player to defeat Venom.

So here's a question-- would a carnival work for a circus for the second Robin requirement? I'm having a really hard time finding a book about circuses that I haven't read already.

This week was a slower week, where team Marvel scored another small victory. With Shawnie from Team Marvel and DC's Roger we had 2 defeats of Venom. Rinn added Groot to her roster and thus secured the win for the Marvelites.
Team DC was way more active on the Energy Cell front, where they outscored Team Marvel with 3 to 0.
