The plot is definitely convoluted and to get going a lot of weird things have to occur buuuuut the core message of the story really let this one shine.
Should Carnage be activating Spidey sense? No but who really cares. The core of this is classic Spidey complete with an ongoing personal issue with a ticking clock. This really highlighted why the marriage was such a good dynamic shift as MJ does as much as Spider-Man to solve core plot issues.
I read this and I'm not entirely sure if the audio version cuts this book down slightly. I saw a few comments saying that they felt Carnage was toned down for the story, whilst in the book I read he brutally murders an entire party worth of people in a truly gruesome fashion...so audio listeners beware you may be missing the best part.
Carnage is spooky, Spidey is quippy, and I'm a happy webhead.
