I like the concept of Anti-Venom, but I think I just got tired of the "Does Brock have cancer?" merry-go-round. Plus, as you say, the name. I do like that the way he affects Spider-Man's powers means that even if Anti-Venom (haaaate that name) can be convinced not to try and "fix" him long enough for them to have a team-up, they then have the problem of trying to communicate without draining Spidey.
