Venom #31 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Oh, Flash.  With all the progress that Flash seemed to be making in taking control of his life and moving to Philadelphia, Bunn makes it clear that he's still not quite there.  His assertion that he's in charge of the symbiote and doesn't need the drugs that Beast gave him to tame it is fascinating.  First, he knows that it's not true, something that becomes all too evident later in the issue after the symbiote attacks his obnoxious neighbor as Flash "slept."  But, he seems to be purposefully shirking the trust that the Avengers have in him by giving him the tools to tame the symbiote on his own.  Bunn seems to be making the somewhat insightful point that Flash's life is a mess because he wants it to be.  We've seen Flash make similarly bad decisions over the course of this series, like not going to the Avengers to help in his fight with Crime-Master, and it seems to support this approach.  Every time Flash has the opportunity to make the right decision (usually involving asking for help), he makes the wrong one.  Is he intentionally sabotaging himself?  Does he like wallowing with demons and murders because he feels that he's one of them?  Bunn isn't saying so exactly here, but he seems to raise the possibility of it and I'm intrigued to see where he goes with it.
