Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage by Tom Lyle, Terry Kavanagh, David Michelinie, Tom DeFalco, Mark Bagley, J.M. DeMatteis, Ron Lim, Alex Saviuk, Sal Buscema
5.0
If you were a kid during the 90’s then you probably remember playing the awesome Maximum Carnage video game. However, many fans never realized that this was actually a crossover/event in the comics, and a good one at that. That dealt with themes the game barely touched upon.
Carnage is a new type of villain. He doesn’t want to take over the world (like Doctor Octopus & Doctor Doom). He’s not an greedy businessman (like the Green Goblin & Kingpin). He’s not a misunderstood sympathetic villain (like The Lizard). He doesn’t want to rob banks (like The Vulture). All he wants to do is kill as many people as he can. Not even for sustenance to stay alive (like Dracula or Galactus would). Just for the pure joy it brings him to kill. How far would you go to stop a villain like this, especially one you inadvertently created? That’s the dilemma Spider-Man faces in this crossover and it’s definitely worth reading.
