I really love the idea behind nightcrawlers lineage. There are just certain elements of the story that annoy me too much to really enjoy, especially with the price of the comic. 1: It is heavily reliant on the narration it left me feeling spoon-fed (Could there have been a way to make it less exposition dumpy?). 2: Certain dialogue felt flowery such as "...nihilism and the illusion of meaning." 3: There was a moment mystique points flaws of society and the essentialist perspective. To which, I didn't feel there was enough punch to it with the line she gives. 4: Very expressive art nothing felt static and that to me is a massive bonus! because the part which caught my eye is where she says "see me" revealing her identity while holding baby nightcrawler, capturing her in the moment at peace visually.

The only carnage I have seen is the one in the Spider-man animated series, the absolute carnage story and that terrible Venom sequel movie. Not being a huge Carnage fan I chose to give this a shot because I really liked Ram V's work on The Swamp Thing. I'm really glad I chose to give this a try because it is a really interesting premise exploring "who is Carnage?", after reading i'm totally sold. Loving Ram V's work. Art is really nice, only problem is one panel where a couple of the faces are just dot eyes. Looking forward to see how the story pans out.

The art is amazing, the body language of the characters is the highlight for me, it enhances the feelings of the characters, especially with The spot since he has no facial features it captures the emotional state of Spot. I am intrigued enough to go through the whole arc to see how the story plays out, Ram V has really interesting elements that look to lead to a really good pay off. I have not been too excited for the next issue in this series to come out, which might have to do with the fact that I don't feel strongly about Carnage (the character) overall in what I have seen or read about the character.

Nailed it!
