Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 millar's run on Thor came out of ideas that gaiman had..gaiman gave his "blessing" to take his idea and run with it..gaiman actually let marvel take it to a confrence of the writers and editors to work ideas in a thinktank like enviornment millar fell in love with it The thinktank is a great idea. DC's been doing it lately, since Rucka/Wincick/Johns/Metzer are all friends and always discussing their projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carnage is still Cleatus Kassady, though he's on his second symbiote as Howard Mackie had Venom eat Cleatus's symbiote/costume, which led to Cleatus (after going around naked and painted red) to go into the Negative Zone with Spidey. where he found a new symbiote/costume that was outright identical to his old symbiote/costume...

Wow - I just got a flash back to the Howard Mackie run on Amazing Spider-Man from a few years back. Â Mackie remains the only man in all of comics that actually made me cancel my subscription to AMS. Hell, I even stuck it out through the Clone nonsense - but Mackie was so fucking awful I just couldn't abide the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can too, but Carnage's character isn't really good for much at this point. Plus, all things considered, Cletus Kassidy might be dead but the symbiote will inevitably live on anyway.

Sass 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 Carnage was just another market saturation character. I never rally cared for him and still feel to this day that he should have been killed off at the end of Maximum Carnage. He hit his peak in that story. I mean, he killed *thousands* of people in the middle of the streets. The character went as far as he was going to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
algrim 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 I agree with Sass. Carnage, to me felt like a poor man's Venom. The only reason he was created was to have an excuse to turn Eddie good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 This is a bit off-topic, but didn't Millar kill off Eddie Brock in Marvel Knights Spider-Man? Â I remember it being mentioned that Brock slit his wrists and that "we don't think he'll live through the night", but I wasn't sure if he was definitively DOA.

Sass 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 Jess is better when he rips things apart. Comic book booking can be hit or miss. I would stop killing guys off at this point in Avengers. The matter of importance should be telling good stories without some big shocker to send "shock waves" throughout the MU that'll only last until next year.

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 I thought issue #2 was OK. Certainly not worthy of a 0, as that review suggests. I'm willing to give the series a chance and see how it all turns out after this first storyarc is finished before I give it a final grading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
