>All this talk of how bad Carnage is
What?
Look, I'll agree that most of modern marvel is real shitty right now, but Carnage is one of my favorite books out currently.
Did they retcon him to act like a Southern Hillbilly? Sure. That's pretty annoying. But he definitely still likes heavy metal (In a Nova comic, there's a concert going on in the background, and Cletus is loving the music while his symbiote is freaking out from the sound). Having artists forget he's robot from the waist down is annoying too.
Carnage has had some very good stories though. Family Feud was amazing, and Carnage USA was equally so. (It helped that Clayton Crain is an amazing artist). Superior Carnage wasn't really a Carnage story, but it led us to getting Carnage back to normal. Deadpool vs Carnage was a bit too lol wacky for me (Bunn does not write Deadpool as good as Duggan), but it was nice to see Shriek and the Mercury team symbiotes again. And if you didn't enjoy Carnageman during AXIS, then I'm sorry you hate fun. What's not to love about a psychopath trying to do the right thing?
Seriously though, the current Carnage comic is really good. It's basically a horror comic where Carnage is trying to get some eldritch tier powers from the darkhold, and he's being hunted by a team with Eddie Brock Toxin and Jameson's son who's also the Man wolf. Written by Gerry Conway, a classic Spider-man writer (He wrote the death of Gwen Stacy)
