Umm, i dont think so. I think this just confirms they are doing the Venom story line and this is the 'costume' (it was really the symbiot, not a cloth costume) that spidey used while he had the symbiot. He had the black costume in the comics too. I used to have (still might have it) a spider man toy that had the black costume.

I thought the black costume (not sure on the comics, but at least in the cartoon and toy) was just straight black and didnt have the same texture/pattern that the red/blue costume did. I also thought it had a white spider symbol that was differnent.

again i note http://www.spiderfan.org/ which im gonna take a look at after i post this to see if i can answer my own question.
