    Carnage #8 brings the vulnerability out of its reprehensible protagonist, revealing some unforeseen and fascinating connection to the character of Flash Thompson. Read Full Review

    Carnage and Cletus Kasady are the boogeymen of Marvel Comics. No matter what you do to them or how many times they appear to die, they come back stronger and scarier than before. Read Full Review

    I really liked this comic, and this run. Shame it's ending with this issue. I think Gronbekk really captured Cletus Cassidy's voice, and did a great job showing his motivation. Perez was good to really good, in places, on art.There were some innovative, if grizzly visuals. I liked Flash Thompson / Anti-Venom as a foil for Cassidsy. I feel like this run could have been better if it wasn't messed up in the second half by a crossover with Venom that had very little to do with what had been happening in the story. I felt like the comic was co-opted to bolster Ewing's timey-whimey nonsense. More's the pity.

    I liked this run and I'm sad to see it ending so soon, especially since its second half felt so rushed. But hopefully, the miniseries coming up manages to be a fun read as well.

    Rushed but not that bad of an ending. But it is still messy conclusion.

    Wasn't super into this ending, if you can call it that, unfortunately. I don't know why Marvel didn't just keep this going with the next few issues being Venom War tie-ins, as opposed to ending this run and continuing it in a new miniseries. Especially since Grønbekk and Pérez are both working on it.
