While this series probably won't turn you into a fan of Wizard or Klaw, Shinick has done a solid job creating a premise which has a nice grip on my attention. Carnage's lack of involvement is a tad disappointing, but I have a feeling that's going to change quite a bit over the next 3 issues. Throw in some truly impressive art and this is a limited-series that I'm definitely going to follow until the end. Read Full Review

But, this shouldn't keep you away from this issue. This mini-series might be turning into something special, and who knew reading a story about the Wizard would be this fun. I'm now on-board for the remainder of this series and hope the next is as surprisingly good as this one. Read Full Review

Superior Carnage issue 2 is a great example of how a book can defy your expectations and turn around into something great. The humor is always spot-on but never overpowers the book enough to become the focus, constantly skirting that line between comedy and tragedy. It's a great character study of the Wizard and his own relationship with family, both biological and the one he has crafted for himself over the years (an interesting parallel to the FF series right now.) Again the only real bring down is that the book is called Superior Carnage because if you're a Carnage fan there isn't a whole lot for you in this book, as I mentioned Carnage is basically comatose for most of it. But if you're a fan of the Wizard or don't really care about Carnage, but like good story telling I highly recommend Superior Carnage. Read Full Review

Though I was extremely excited to see Carnage back in the Marvel Universe, I severely underestimated the characters involved in this series. The Wizard and the Frightful Four are hardly Galactus level threats, but Shinick impresses me by digging deeper into these glorified jobbers to make them interesting. Characters are the thing that make any good story successful, so while I may have came for Carnage, I'm being treated with way more intriguing characters that I'm coming to appreciate more with each passing panel. I look forward to what comes next in 'Superior Carnage'. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, the comic's bland attempts at dark humor, lack of emotional gravity, and somewhat forced inclusion of (surprise, surprise) Superior Spider-Man (where he is used as more of a handy, albeit unnecessary, vessel for a recap than an actual participant in this "event") make it somewhat boring and dragging.

Superior Carnage is frustrating because with a little bit of writing changes, this could be a fantastic series. Segovia's work goes a long way towards rectifying things, but more needs to be done. Hopefully, things will get better as time passes. Read Full Review

The thing is, writer Kevin Shinick's resume includes running Cartoon Network's MAD and writing and performing on Robot Chicken, so you'd think think his storytelling would be well-paced and funny, but it winds up being a by-the-numbers story with little memorable flair. The art by Stephen Segovia is solid, with excellent details and a particularly well-executed in-your-face scare, but it means little without a compelling script to back it up. Read Full Review
