Carnage is back, and he's as sadistic as ever. This time he plans on re-making an entire town in his image, then the world. It's up to Spider-Man & the Avengers to stop him.
Zeb Wells is quickly proving himself to be one of the best Spider-Man family writers of the past 10 years. He was one of the better writers on Amazing Spider-Man during the Braintrust days, and he's currently hitting it out of the park on Avenging Spider-Man. In this sequel to his Carnage series from last year, he's taking the vileness of Cletus Kasady & Carnage to a whole new level. But he still manages to throw in the right amount of levity that the best Spider-Man stories have. Hawkeye is especially well portrayed.
Clayton Crain continues to prove himself as one of the top digital artists in the field. I'll admit that sometimes his artwork gets muddled down to an almost confusing level because of all the complex detail he adds. Not in this issue though. Everything is clean and precise and absolutely stunning. Sometimes grotesquely stunning. Not many artists can use a computer to create such magnificence like Clayton can.
This was an extremely fun book to read. And some of that fun was the twisted mind of Kasady. Does that make me a bad person? Who knows. But it definitely doesn't make this a bad book. Definite recommendation on this one.
