Bleeding Cool has documented the ongoing very serious feud between Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman's Venom and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen.

I don't want to sound too cocky but this venom comic we are making is way better than Watchmen — ryan "venom boy" stegman (@RyanStegman) April 9, 2018

The feud, mostly via one-sided attacks by the Venom creative team, has been going on for months, relentlessly, with attacks as recently as yesterday from Stegman.

Now that we've VANQUISHED Watchmen with the first arc of #Venom I'm considering which work of art to take on next. I'm thinking big. The Godfather? The Mona Lisa? Outkast's ATLiens?!!!!!!!! — ryan "venom boy" stegman (@RyanStegman) August 30, 2018

And even as recently as this morning by Cates.

Damn. So cool that Eminem wrote a song about @RyanStegman and I's VENOM series. Dang. So cool. How many songs did Slim Shady write about Watchmen I wonder. Probably none. Idk. https://t.co/hHhngUHO7O — DONNY⚡️CATES (@Doncates) August 31, 2018

Though it seemed the conflict might never end, Cates revealed Friday that a truce had been called, as Cates and Alan Moore met and came to terms on a mutual cessation of hostilities. As to the debate over which is better, Venom or Watchmen, the writers reportedly agreed to call it a tie.

Okay okay. So Alan Moore and I talked about it and we agreed to call the Venom vs Watchmen debate a tie. #HolySHIT #FreakingOut pic.twitter.com/Ydi0AJzJCM — DONNY⚡️CATES (@Doncates) August 31, 2018

Venom #6 hits stores on September 19th, if you want to see what all the hype is about.

• After a brief connection to the GOD-HOST, EDDIE and the VENOM symbiote have emerged with brand new powers!

• A good thing too, as they'll need every upgrade they can get as they head down a collision course with the primordial symbiote GRENDEL!
