Absolute Carnage is an event...but fear not comic readers, this one is fucking GREAT!

Usually the hardest thing to do in events is tell a interesting story in its main series without needing every single tie in. This event doesn't need ANY tie in to tell a interesting tale and at the same time set up the future of the marvel universe in comics.

So Brock is not having a good time. Him and Venom are just not working well together. Enter carnage and his creepy "Daddy" dialogue to push Eddie to the edge. After a huge fight, and a lot of getting his ass kicked, Eddie retreats to find help from Peter. Together they go head to head with Carnage but when they see what he's become they'll need a lot more help. However, Carnage is more interesting in hunting down everyone else...

This is an exciting event with ton of action but a lot of cool character development. Cates manages to write both Eddie and Carnage super well, Peter as well, and move Venom's main story in a interesting direction. On top of that you get some great set up for the future and if Cates/Stegman are handling the next event I am SO ready. A 5 out of 5 for this fantastic and fun adventure here.
