Leave it to Donny Cates to bring both a GOOD event and make Carnage scary again.

So Brock isn't doing too well lately. With his son he's basically on the run all the time. But recently carnage used Brock's face to murder a bunch of people in prison and now everyone is after him. So Brock decides to face off against carnage but this isn't the same old red twin. This is a bigger, badder, more GODLY version of Carnage. Yes...Brock is in trouble and he turns to someone you might not expect.

This is a nice slowburn, creepy, and sometimes funny first issue into an event I'm actually very excited for. It mostly comes down to Cates nailing down personalities, especially Brock, Peter, and even creepy old Carnage. Together he works with Stagman to have some of the best fucking art around right now. The fights are drawn great and there's some horrifying moments that'll make you go "oh shit".

It's kind of amazing how good this event is. I expected it to be decent but it turned out freaking great. Let's hope it continues. A 4.5 out of 5.
