Carnage has already positioned himself as a new player in the cosmic arena at Marvel, and now it's the original killer's turn. 'Carnage Reigns' is a bold and bloody evolution for Cletus Kasady. It's a smart and exciting refresher on why this character scared us all to begin with. Read Full Review
Carnage #13 walks the tightrope of a mid-chapter tie-in issue in near-perfect fashion. Readers invested primarily in this series get to see its core characters receive crucial steps of development, while those characters are gracefully introduced to any readers invested solely in "Carnage Reigns."

While Carnage's journey has delved into the realm of fantasy, his former host Cletus has taken a path towards science-fiction, providing a nice change of tone and scenery that makes Carnage #13 feel reinvigorating. Read Full Review
While I would call this the weakest issue of the Carnage Reigns crossover thus far, it's still a fairly enjoyable read. I continue to think Paknadel writes Cletus well, but I'm a little indifferent towards Galán's art. For some reason, I thought we were getting Francesco Manna for the rest of this series, which would have been great. While I do like Galán's art here, I wasn't the biggest fan of how he drew Cletus here, for whatever reason. I liked his art more in other spots, but I feel as though Manna is a much better fit for a character like Carnage.
