CLETUS KASADY IS BACK IN A BLOODY NEW VISION OF CARNAGE!
Spurned by its longtime host, the Carnage symbiote has undertaken a quest to push the boundaries of itself and its understanding further than ever before. But as seen in the visceral pages of CARNAGE #10, CLETUS KASADY himself hasn't been sitting idly by either. Bound to an all-new type of symbiote, the EXTREMBIOTE, Cletus has a whole new array of deadly abilities - that he's eager to put to a bloody and brutal test!
Rated T+
Carnage #12 doubles-down on the dark nature of its characters with an issue that is bound to leave readers on their edge of their seat to see who will come out on top of this conflict, even if they're unsure who to root for at this point. Read Full Review
On its own, Carnage #12 doesn't do anything all that thrilling, but it's a great appetizer for what's to come. Read Full Review
Carnage #12 brings things to a head as the serial killer Kenneth Neely is now partnered up with Cletus Kasady who's just as much of a wild card as his symbiote counterpart. The art from Francesco Manna and Erick Arciniega's colors continue to be a strength for this series in depicting both Carnage and Cletus Kasady in his new symbiote form. Sadly, the portion with Carnage and Detective Shayde continues to be the low point of this comic, while the better parts are with Kasady and Neely as murder and mayhem ensue. Readers who still like what they see here can follow the continuation of this story in the title Carnage Reigns Alpha. Read Full Review
It's a pretty brief issue in terms of plot development. Just a short bunny-hop from roping in Cletus to pointing him toward Carnage Reigns.
But it has power and impact thanks to the still-improving art and an impressive amount of detail dropped into seamless narration to make Cletus's killing meaningful.
On the art front: Am I the only one seeing a distinct uptick since the writer change? It makes me wonder if the two authors have dramatically different ways of writing stage directions.
Honestly, Paknadel has made this series a lot more fun to read.

Another entertaining issue from Paknadel. I like the way he's been writing both Cletus and Ken, and I'm actually looking forward to the Carnage reigns crossover based on how this one ended. Plus, while Roge Antonio gave us some pretty solid art in the last issue, I really enjoyed Manna's here and I'm glad it seems as though he'll be the artist for the series going forward.
