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.

Comics use to be my passion way back in the days. My nephews got me interested again a little. So I picked up a few stories I remembered from the top of my head. This was one of them.
Even when I was a teen I always found Carnage to be a bland character. I really didn't care for a serial killer in a Venom outfit. This to me was a character that should have been killed off quickly. But they went and made this. A 14 part kill fest.
The beginning was a slick way for Carnage ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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.

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, ... Read More

Not much to say, Amazon did a good job of getting the book out to me, however it simply wasn't as good of a story as I remembered. (I used to own the original pressing of these books.) If you're a symbiote fan (venom, carnage, black suit spiderman) its a must, but otherwise it's pretty average.
