    Carnage: Great Art!


    A female Carnage is just the first of many surprises in this iss'. Written by Zeb Wells, Joss Whedon's son, this is great for fans of Cletus Kasady as >>>SPOILER ALERT<<< he appears near the end, not feeling entirely human, since he's gone Borg from the waist down. 
     
    Spider-Man and Iron Man have clearly put the Civil War unpleasantness behind them as they team up against Carnage. Which is good, because as enjoyable as it was to pit them against each other and have Parker rig his Iron Spider suit so he'd get the upper hand at one point, it is better to see them in action together. Especially now, when we can picture Robert Downey, Jr. saying the lines; bring on the movie, so I can "hear" Spidey's voice... 
     
    The "new girl" hosting the symbiote has some good moments detailed in the issue from her mental viewpoint versus the alien. Didn't know how I'd feel about a female host before, but everything's working here. 
     
    Have to buy this in trade, because the art and drive of the narrative are great!

I really enjoy closeups inside her mind when she and the symbiote battle fo...

       As the new Carnage carves its way out of prison, Spidey and Iron Man discover the symbiote isn't the only villain who's been brought back. The Good Wells' script has such a great cadence. You feel every beat of the story - - from the argumentative head games at the beginning to the terrifying, piece-by-piece surprise reveal at the end. I especially enjoyed how he makes Carnage and  his associates, Shriek and Doppleganger, out to be like a horrible virus that somehow keeps back, again and again...
