Maximum Carnage Resurfaces

*ZariusTwo* · 12-30-2004, 08:35 AM

In order to celebrate the tenth anniversary of fan favourate symbiote serial killer Carnage (currently making a huge comeback in the Spidy books, includsing the accalimed "Venom vs Caranage" mini-series) Marvel have released Carnages' "finest hour", the plotless Maximum Carnage as a Trade Paperback.

A huge 14-part crossover with every major Marvel character at the time, Maximum Carnage is regarded as one of the worst Marvel stories ever written, even by the very publishers, but hey, Carnage makes money, so they've re-released it, which marks the first time in years that it has been acknowledged.

With all of New York being victimised mentally and physically by Carnage and his posse of Shreik, Carrion, Demogoblin, and the Spider Doppleganger, "Maximum Carnage" also spun off a succesful video game and to this date remains one of Spidy's biggest succeses in the 90s, next to the animated series.

I own every part of this garbage, so I'm not touching it, but if there are any Carnage fans here, it's ideal for ya (although I'd strongly recommend "Savage Genesis" above it, as well as Venom vs Carnage)

I had a couple of issues back then. How did it end?

*KROW* · 12-30-2004, 09:11 AM

I liked this story. It had its crap parts in it but I thought it was a good read.

*Voltron* · 12-30-2004, 11:52 AM

I enjoyed what I read of it. I loved some of the art in that series.

Pretty poorly, Venom hurtled Carnage into propane fuel tanks and the explosion knocked Carnage out, Venom managed to escape.

For the love of Chirst, it's SHREIK, Scream WAS'NT in Maximum Carnage at all

*Brodie* · 01-02-2005, 07:47 PM

Edit: How did I forget THAT bitch....

OK. Settle down there pal. No need for that.

*JameO* · 01-02-2005, 08:25 PM

Is it that time of the month already? Sheesh, you should have warned us!

*Spitfire* · 01-02-2005, 08:26 PM

I tried to find all these comics because the game didnt really tell me to much. I only found the first and last issues. They were okay I like Planet of the Symbiotes better and the one where Venom and Carnage fight inside the computer that was really cool!
Anyways Ill probly get this! I havnt bought a comic in awhile but Im intrested. I also need to get the DMC series that supposed to come out in a big book like this

*cowabunga14* · 01-03-2005, 05:18 PM

Look on samruby.com and post pics if Scream please.I dunno wanna look cuz I already know what she looks like.On the homepage click villains and under S click on Scream for her bio.Shriek and Scream are completey two different Symboites.I don't wanna argue with anyone so look on samruby.com if you think I'm wrong.And post some pics of Scream.Don't forget!

**Jester** · 01-03-2005, 06:20 PM

Shriek wasn't a symbiote, she was a fellow inmate who helped Carnage after his escape from jail....Scream was a symbiote and was in the Seperation Anziety (spelled so wrong) game.

*cowabunga14* · 01-04-2005, 04:35 PM

Thanks for listenin' Jester.I wonder where I could get info about Scream?She viscious-lookin'.How psychotic was she?I wanna find out more about her cuz she's so mysterious ya know?I wonder who would win if she fought Gambit or Nick Fury.

*Brodie* · 01-04-2005, 05:49 PM

Gambit or Nick Fury?

......How did you come up with that match-up?!

*Voltron* · 01-04-2005, 05:51 PM

Both Gambit and Nick Fury would leave her sh*t in ruins.

*cowabunga14* · 01-05-2005, 09:25 AM

She has really long hair.Its like a hippie symboite.Was she on the old cartoon?I wonder who would play her if she was on a movie or cartoon.Very psychtic she was.Very frantic.What comics of Planet of the Symboites was she in?Scream is weird and mysterious.There's needs to be a Marvel Legends figure of her or somethin'.

*DrSpengler* · 01-05-2005, 10:32 AM

Picked up the TPB today. I don't really care how bad it's supposed to be, it's just one of those comics I always wanted to read. I remember it happening way back when but never bothering to pick up any of the issues. So now I'll be able to read it and judge for myself.
