Product ReviewsSpider-Man: Maximum Carnage (Marvel Comics December 2004)

Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage

I read the storyline when it was initially published across the Spider-man titles. I was entertained by it then, but upon re-reading the story this time, I'm much more conflicted.
The story has very little development, and it is effectively the same thing over and over - Carnage and friends go out on a killing spree, Spider-man and friends feel a need to stop it.

In a certain way, I feel like the story raises a question - when a person is dangerous enough, do they warrant a death sentence? In Spider-Man's mind, he wants to avoid killing at all costs. This is a major character trait, and confronting him with that issue is really the highlight.
I like a little bit of the interplay within Carnage's team, but otherwise, don't feel like the storyline was as great as it could be. Perhaps if there were more events than just confrontations at different locations.

On the plus side, I've always had a soft spot for Bagley's artwork, while Sal (I think that's his name) of the Spectacular Spider-Man issues has a much more interesting style than I remember. And it's very nice to have the storyline arranged in order, unlike the Infinity War book.
Worth picking up, but only if you like Carnage.Read full review...

Maximum Carnage

This story is clever and awesome! This story has Spidey,Venom, and other heroes working together to stop Carnage and his band of murderers,it was worth spending the money on this masterpiece.

The only complaints I have are that some heroes were determined to question each others morality by arguing about killing Carnage, or taking him back to the
sanitarium, but overall it is an excellent story, and in great condition.

I would recommend this too any Spider or Carnage fan.

Thanks for selling this book, I appreciate it.Read full review...
