3.0 out of 5 stars
One of the nicer Venom miniseries,
By Ron Tothleben (tothleben@hotmail.com) (Tilburg, Netherlands, Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Venom: Carnage Unleashed (Paperback)
I liked the character Venom back how he was when he first arrived in Amazing Spiderman, but I'm not particularly fond of many of the miniseries he starred in. I've said it before and I'll say it again: they should have never tried to make him into an anti-hero. However, this particular miniseries is one of the nicer reads among them. I'll add though, that the emphasis is more on Carnage than on Venom in this story. A little about it: Venom learns of Carnages past crimes being marketed in the form of a videogame, and is utterly repulsed by the fact that Cletus "Carnage" Kassady is going to make a profit of it. Therefore he heads to New York where Cletus is currently being held. Over in Ravencroft, the institution is which they're trying to unravel Kassady's mind, a new psychologist is working on Cletus. Off course Carnage breaks free and Venom, with his own sense of justice, goes after him. Carnage however found a new way to move himself around If you are able to accept the a tad ridiculous new "travel-option" the symbiotes of Venom and Carnage have here (moving from one place to another through the internet), fans of the 'symbiote-mythos' should be well able to enjoy themselves. It isn't a very deep story, but there are other types of comics for that purpose. It's more 'easy-read'. The art is acceptable in the first part (of four). In the other three parts I can't exactly say it's that bad, but it's a little strange (with Carnage getting real teeth and such). It's a little un-detailed without being cartoony. Overall it's nice for fans of Spiderman comics and, like I said, especially those who're into the 'symbiote-mythos'. If you're not, don't get it. If you are than it's a better option than most other Venom-minies.

Another ho-hum Venom mini-series,
By N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Venom: Carnage Unleashed (Paperback)
Ever since Venom reared his ugly head years ago in the pages of Spider-Man, he's starred in so many mini-series' over the years with a few being above average, many so-so, and many more as downright dull. Carnage Unleashed is one of the more so-so Venom stories, but it's better than some of the other comics Venom has starred in (Venom: The Mace anyone?). The story revolves around a video game being made based on Carnage, and Eddie "Venom" Brock isn't too happy about the fact that a known murderer is profiting off of something which promotes what he does. Naturally, Carnage soon breaks free of his confines and dukes it out with Venom via digital cyberspace. It sounds ridiculous, oh yes, but the flow of the story has a sort of cartoony feel to it thanks to the usual solid storytelling of Larry Hama. The art is so-so most of the time, but all together this is one of the more average Venom sagas.

What Joey Anderson thinks about this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Venom: Carnage Unleashed (Paperback)
I think that this book was good because it showed how much Venom and Carnage wanted revenge against Spider-Man for killing them in the first book. And why they pooped
