Ram V and Francesco Manna's Carnage is turning out to be an interesting look at the strikingly different personalities of the two people embroiled in Carnage's path. Carnage #2 introduces a duality that's intriguing while offering a police procedural to stop a supervillain from getting stronger. All along the way, we're witnessing a character evolve in real-time which is so rare in serial comics it's hard to not cheer it on and ask for more. Read Full Review

Carnage #2 continues the Carnage symbiote's dark journey with a couple of tag-alongs. The comic is a little light on the horror but it explores this sense of dark “transformation” between all three characters in several ways that will continue in the next issue.

Enjoying this series a lot, I finally have a reason to care about the character of carnage
Great work by Ram V once again!
Carnage's creepy dialogue is a little much for me, but the very different voice used by the cop shows that the pretension comes from the character, not the author. The plot's simple, but that's good; it lets us focus on all the head games being played.
I like the art, but ironically I think I like the everyday panels even more than the crazy reality-warping ones.
It's dark, it's interesting but, it felt like it's missing just a little something.
