    I don’t think so. I think it’s peter and maryjane talking about what costumes they’ll wear later.

    The 4th panel is maryjane, dressed as poison ivy, commenting that Peter’s venom (blackface) costume is a bad idea.

    The clue is in the earlier panel where Peter talks about taking a break from fighting crime. Traditionally, venom isn’t a crime fighter but a villain. Or at least an anti hero.

      Hmm…that’s fair. And while I think that Venom can cover only part of a body, normally, I think he does the whole thing.

      And apparently, Peter Parker does have a red-headed love interest, who I guess “the chick” is supposed to be, not actually Poison Ivy.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jane_Watson

      Mary Jane Watson is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, making her first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #15 (August 1964), and subsequently designed by John Romita Sr. in #42 (November 1966). Since then, she has gone on to become Spider-Man’s main love interest and later his wife (as Mary Jane Watson-Parker). Mary Jane Watson has also served as a supporting character to Iron Man.

      Like I said, I don’t really follow Spider-Man, so don’t know the story terribly well.
