What’s better than Maximum Carnage? SUPERIOR Carnage!
Announced at Hero Complex, Kevin Shinick (of Robot Chicken) and Stephen Segovia (recently of X-Treme X-Men) will be collaborating on a five-part mini-series this summer entitled “Superior Carnage.” Featuring everyone’s favorite maniac with a symbiote, the book finds Carnage fresh out of the microverse and catatonic in a prison, and recent Fantastic Four mega-menace the Wizard has decided to try and utilize Carnage in the same way that the US Government is using Agent Venom.
Shinick, more known for comedy than comics, promises that that’s going to be a part of the book although not the main one, which is certainly interesting. The last few Carnage-focused minis have had aspects of humor to them but mostly focused on the darker aspects of the character; with Shinick essentially parodying both “Superior Spider-Man” and “Venom” stories and trends of late, it’ll be very intriguing to see how he weaves comedy in the midst of the abject nightmare that is a Carnage-lead story.
“Superior Carnage” debuts in July.
