CARNAGE SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH! As Cletus Kasady exacts his vengeance on an unsuspecting city and CARNAGE REIGNS across the Marvel Universe, THE CARNAGE SYMBIOTE remains left to its own devices, adrift among the stars. With its purpose renewed after the DEATH OF THE VENOMVERSE, Carnage has scant few hurdles between it and a glorious ascension to the throne of the King in Black...and the first is named MORLUN.
Rated T+
'Web of Carnage' brings one chapter to a close and tears another one wide open. It's a wild thrill to see one of Marvel's greatest monsters continue to evolve. Read Full Review
Web of Carnage bites off a bit more than it can chew by picking up characters and plot threads from other recent comics, leaving little room to give a member of its main cast a satisfying send-off. Read Full Review
A fun one-shot closes a piece of the story of an emergent god butcher before the upcoming 'Death of the Venomverse.' Read Full Review
The characters in this new Carnage primer are much, much more interesting than the multiversal web being spun, but they're enough to keep your attention throughout. Read Full Review
Once its over and the final panel crosses the final page, you kind of have to reach for a tissue. Its all been a lot of fun and everything, but its time to clean up and get on with the process of figuring out just what the hell it was all about. There was a lot of suffering and slime and slashing and such. And its not like there isnt SOME appeal to the deeper drama, but theres just way too much mucous on the page in a conflict between Carnage and Venom. Honestly...the upcoming Carnage #1 might be a lot of fun if the title character is given something less...slimy to contrast against. Read Full Review
Sadly the scene that's most critical to plot and character development also seems to be the weakest one. I think the developments are generally workable, though, and the art's strong throughout. This makes a fitting lid to close the last volume of Carnage and pivot toward the future.
