Product Description:
The perennial fan-favorite collection, back in print! Carnage, the spawn of Venom, has assembled an army of Spider-Man's criminally insane adversaries to spread his message of hostility, chaos and wholesale slaughter: Carrion, Demogoblin, Shriek and the Spider-Man Doppelganger! Outmanned and overpowered, the wall-crawler must recruit his own band of super-beings to combat the rising tide of evil: Black Cat, Cloak & Dagger, Firestar, Captain America, Deathlok and ... Venom?! Spider-Man's worst enemy becomes his uneasy ally in the battle to halt Carnage's mad rampage. But when he finds himself at odds with a number of his allies, who want to finish Carnage and his cronies once and for all, Spider-Man must decide whether to violate his personal code of honor to rid the world of pure evil. Can the web-slinger find an alternative before it's too late? Either choice carries dire consequences! Collects AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (Vol. 1) #378-380, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #201-203, SPIDER-MAN #35-37, SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED #1 and #2, and WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #101-103.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Rabid sleeping mutt
I come from Africa. If you see adjacent comics in a series like Maximum carnage, you know you are going to have your face eaten by a terrier on the way home. It just doesnt happen. So 17 years pass, and I get the opportunity to purchase this sucka. Apparently I was a cretin before puberty. There are 3 lines pooled between the good guys, and the bad guys get their 3. The whole freaking shebang involves a lot of back of forth as the good guys consistently rediscover recidivism at the cost of thousands ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mindless
Tedious, boring, cliche, too-long. This could have been cranked out in about 3-4 issues. The dialog is lame. Marvel is at its best when it humanizes the motivations of its villians, but this is just mindless slaughter. Too many holes in the plot.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Chaos and Carnage
The story is chaotic, never takes itself TOO seriously, and captures the character of Spider-Man perfectly. My main gripe has to do with a few large out-of-nowhere plot devices that the writers insert toward the end of the story to help bring about the story's end. I chuckled at the absurdity of the sudden appearence of Deathlok's super-suit, and that was only one example. Still, an interestingly deep character study for a comic book, LOTS of action, and some gripping writing. Reccommended for Spidey ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Maximum Carnage, even Spider-Man can get darker.


During the '90s, comics were getting to be a darker place. Grim and gritty anti heroes were the most popular thing at the time, and characters like Ghost Rider, The Punisher, and Wolverine took top billing it seems over the other characters in the Marvel Universe. This darkness even spread to the Spider-Man comics, with the popularity of Venom, who at this time fell under the anti hero category, and his spawn, the super powered symbiotic serial killer Carnage.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as great as I remembered
One event in comics that I had fond memories of when I was a kid was Maximum Carnage. Billed by Marvel as the ultimate Spider-Man event (there was even a video game of the same name for 16-bit systems), Maximum Carnage finds Eddie Brock, AKA Venom, on the loose. However, his symbiote left an offspring behind that has bonded with serial killer Cletus Kassidey; better known as Carnage. Soon enough, a wave of terror hits New York City as Carnage and a whole group of villains (including Shriek, Doppleganger, Demogoblin, ... Read More
