If symbiotes, an angsty protagonist, and Lovecraftian fish people arent enough to get your attention, the awesome and perfectly paired writing and art definitely should. Read Full Review

A little sluggish and drawn out in places, but offset by some great horror artwork and thematic material perfect for a Venom book. Read Full Review

I hope the semi-obscurity of the title character doesn't scare anyone away, because right out the gate, this book is proving it has merits to give both Andi Benton and Scream every right to be leading character(s) in this new title. Even if you aren't a Venom/symbiote fan, give this a try. It deserves a read! Don't know who the hell Scream is? Get to know her here! Read Full Review

A book like Scream: Curse of Carnage requires a darker, horror-inspired tone, which I think Mooneyham really nails, accented by Rain Beredo's brooding colors that pop when Andi transforms into Scream mode. If there's any reason to check out this comic, I'd recommend it for the art alone. Read Full Review

A promising start, if nothing outstanding, to a new series. Time will tell whether it’ll be good or simply a cash in on Venoms success, in the meantime good art and colors make it worth picking up. I have high hopes though. Read Full Review

Overall there were some good elements in here that I eventually wanted to see, but not t right now. A lot of the stuff felt kinda crammed in, which resulted in a very difficult to detect narrative story structure, but I will allow it due to the fact that I can see what it is trying to set up. All that to say that this is a must pick-up. If you are a collector or speculator, you almost have to pick this up due to the impending events hinted at in this issue. Read Full Review

This comic just doesn't have much to offer, especially with a character that's going to be as tough to sell as Scream. Read Full Review

While they attempt to do something new with the strange relationship between Andi and her symbiote, it feels like we're treading old ground. Read Full Review

If you're a fan of 90s symbiote stories and all the baggage that comes with them, this may be your thing, but it just never quite gelled for me. Read Full Review

Wow,this was surprisingly good. I loved Andi through the Agent Venom era but absolutely hated all that Juju Magic crap they turned her into. Now she makes sense again and with her lack of parents and no real direction it made sense what factors motivated this character and symbiote to belong together. It also was a good mix with the emo sadness and creepy inner voices. I liked the last page it was actually touching and intriguing. Although, I re read the mosh pit scene over and over. It made no sense at all and was so strange. It seemed like the writer villainized punk culture, despite that being the aesthetic for the main character, it was bizarre. I think the writer does more good than bad in this issue however and seems to have an interesting story to tell. Artwork is incredible and everything you want for this title but oddly it does feel like theres just something missing here...or maybe something just too rehashed? Im not sure but it offered enough for me to want to read the next issue. more

I'm sold on the creators' sincerity, but I'm unsure of how much substance there is beneath the attractive style.

I feel like this could become something good, but it's not quite there yet. Here's hoping issue two improves things.

Well, some of the horror stuff was cool, but I’m not super interested in the character, she doesn’t seem that special or interesting to me.
