"FORGED IN BLOOD" CONTINUES!
The Carnage symbiote has ambitions of universal destruction and death, the likes of which would make even Knull himself tremble. But unlike the slain King in Black, Carnage has no weapon to inspire fear in the hearts of the living across space. Or - not, until now!
Rated T+
Carnage #10 gives its titular character a major upgrade and sets the stage for a battle between the deadly symbiote and its former host, making for a solid issue full of tension and dramatic flare. Read Full Review
Carnage #10 brings things to a head as Carnage coerces the Dwarf Drorin to forge him a new weapon based on the weapon All-Black the Necrosword. Things don't go as planned for the crimson symbiote as Drorin makes his own plans with Kenneth Neely, but once Jonathan Shayde shows up, it all goes sideways. The comic sets up the next big step in the story for Carnage and it has potential to be a good one. We'll see where it goes from here as it looks like Carnage is ready to live up to its name.

Carnage finds a way to amp up the insanity even further in issue #10, which is more or less what I've continued to want from this series. Read Full Review
It's a pretty looking issue with a fun concept, but it's wasted being quickly walked back, only serving to give Carnage a power boost and tie into the next part of the narrative; overall, it's a weak story that is well written but not given enough time for its ideas to breath. Read Full Review
This was amazing
Ram v is such an amazing talent. This book continues to be consistently good. I am so impressed with how much growth and depth both carnage and venom have gone through in the recent years. These were two fairly basic horror themed characters who are now part of much more complex and interesting storylines.
I've been harsh on parts of Ram V's run up to this point, but things are coming together before the upcoming crossover, and they're doing so in a satisfying way.
The words in this issue don't stick in my mind at all, and the art isn't much more memorable. Which is not to say there's anything *wrong* with the storytelling here. And even if there were, the heaps of plot development have a memorability all their own.
