Cult of Carnage: Misery #1

Cult of Carnage: Misery #1is a great debut for Liz Allen's new status quo. While it may pose as a difficult jumping on point for readers unfamiliar with her history, that doesn't change the fact that this book has strong emotional and genre themes coupled by great art and greater action.

Cult of Carnage: Misery #1 is an excellent start to what could be a unique new Symbiote in a sea of Symbiotes who are mostly the same, save for their color. The creators set things up beautifully, making you care about a C-List character while establishing the need for a mother to rise up and protect her kids, even if it takes a Symbiote to do it.

Cult of Carnage: Misery #1 finally gives Liz Allen a comic of her own. Since her father-in-law and even her son have been given titles, it is only fair that she gets the spotlight shone on her too. She is powerful in her own right and Pirzada captures the chaos and the spectrum of disasters happening to her, before ramping it up even further. Read Full Review

A new heroine rises from a merger of various forces to intriguing effect in this tie-in to symbiote lore. Read Full Review

The exposition and storytelling is certainly competent throughout, but without answering the question of "why" it's difficult to recommend Cult of Carnage: Misery even to readers who are all in on this corner of Marvel Comics. Read Full Review

A surprisingly solid start. I would love if Liz got some more character to her. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/xJz6buvNFZ MY PHYSICAL COLLECTION (FOR SHOWING OFF): https://psycamorean.libib.com/

This is surprisingly good. Way better than I expected.

The art is great. Story is kind of slow and sort of forced. Clearly everything just needs to be symbiotes.... lovely (sarcasm). Now that being said, having everyone in the Osborne family be freaks in some way... is an interesting dynamic. Not sure if they can pull it off but I am going easy on the rating for this first issue.

If you have a yen to see every last character in the Osborn family symbiotized, this will fit the bill. Personally, I don't find the idea at all appealing. While the storytellers execute on their premise with perfectly adequate skill, I wouldn't say they went beyond adequacy at any point. Good writing and/or good art can often win me over to a subjectively unappealing premise--that didn't happen here.
