">Written by Andrenn TweetIf you missed our thoughts on San Diego Comic Con, I was very excited at the announcement of the return of Carnage. With a strong writer and amazing artist, one of my favorite Spider-villains returns. Does Carnage's return make for a bloodbath of great quality or is this bloodbath lacking any blood? Let's find out!Writer: Zeb WellsArtist: Clayton CrainStory Rating: 6 Symbiotes out of 10Art Rating: 8 Symbiotes out of 10Overall Rating: 7 Symbiotes out of 10Synopsis: Spider-Man is narrating how this is playing out with an armored car being rammed by another car and how this sounds like a simple story.

Carnage #1 is neither quite as accessible nor as straightforward as it should be. Still, it makes for a decent read, and all signs point to Wells being able to provide Carnage a proper reintroduction into the Marvel U. Read Full Review
Nice Spidey-Shellhead team-up. Disappointing if you expected to see Carnage though. Read Full Review
In all honesty, I'll probably still buy the next issue just to see where it goes, but I can't really recommend this book to casual fans. Carnage #1 contains seven mispronunciations of the word mother, three suits of power armor, one instance of Tony Stark getting the bird, one instance of web-swinging while eating breakfast cereal, and one angry mob. There are 8 thwips, 6 snkts, 2 screees, 2 thwaps, 1 thwip and 1 zzzzzark. 2 out of 5 stars. Read Full Review
It's good so far. Not a bad beginning for the story. The return of Doppelganger after 17 years. There was almost no Carnage, but it's already better, than Venom (2003). At least the cover isn't misleading. And Crain is really good here. His art isn't that detailed as it was in the Venom vs Carnage (2004), but faces are much better.
