Title: Superior Carnage #005
Price: $3.99
Writer: Kevin Shinick
Artist: Stephen Segovia
As the wizard is now controlled by Carnage, how will Spider-Man defeat him? Or will Carnage destroy the Superior Spider-Man and prove that the symbiote will forever reign superior?
Summary of the Story
This issue focuses mostly on Klaw after his death and about how atoms will forever be moving. We see Spider-Man and Carnage more standing around then fighting. Spider-Man is able to get somewhat of a hold over the symbiote and detach it from the Wizard by bringing Cletus Kasady into the area of the fight. The symbiote then detaches itself from Wizard and attaches itself back to the original, dare I say it, "Superior" symbiote host. After Carnage finds its host it goes on a rampage killing the spider-soldiers and knocks Spider-Man out of the picture. As Carnage is about to bite off the head of the Wizard, Klaw comes back to life in the form of lightning and knocks out Kasady and detaches Carnage long enough for Spider-Man to contain it. The book ends with us learning that by being reattached to the symbiote, Kasady's brain has began to heal and that Carnage will be returning in February.
Review of the Book
I was excited for this issue but unfortunately disappointed. I was expecting this to be an all out battle between Spidey and Carnage and instead this book is a lot of decision making and narrative. With the lack of extreme carnageness in this book I am interested to see what happens in the next Carnage title that is coming out in February. The art in this issue was good just as it has been in the entire mini series, except for the stupid trench coat re-design. Overall I still enjoyed this issue but expected a lot more brutality.
Pros, Cons, & Rating
PROS: Good art, decent writing, and a good set up book for the future
CONS: It's a set up book, barely any action, really slow pacing
Rating: 8/10. Decent book but nothing really above that
