And we're up to part six. That's
pretty much all I have for an opener here... Um yeah, let's get to
it!
Maximum Carnage part 6: Web of
Spider-Man #102
Summary: Hey hey, it's an all out
action issue, kids! We get started with Venom adding Morbius to his
team, which is something Black Cat isn't exactly pleased about.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane is partying at a dance club to forget her recent
troubles with her husband, you know, that Spidery-guy. Unfortunately
for her, Carnage and his crew set upon the place and start to kill
club goers left and right. Venom and company arrive, which means the
fight is on! During the action, Venom saves MJ from Carnage in a fun
little scene.
Venom is fantastically dick-ish here!
If the bad guys ever fight the heroes in a roofless environment, they're screwed.
Thoughts: This was a really good issue,
especially after how meh the past 2 or 3 parts have been. Sure, the
mighty hammer of coincidence struck by having MJ at the very club
Carnage was attacking, but I can overlook that since it really didn't
add or detract from the story much. Granted, I don't know why that
club was even open if Carnage was in the area, but what can ya do.
One thing I will say is that Carnage's group has been nearly beaten
twice now, and had to resort to dropping the ceiling on the good guys
both times before escaping... That's slowly starting to seep into
bad writing territory... Either come up with another way to have
Carnage win or escape, or don't put him against the good guys in the
first place. Other than that though, this was a pretty good issue
that pulled this event out of the doldrums... For now!!!
You have to admit, Carnage sure does do original stuff with his costume.
