Extreme Carnage: Scream #1

A fantastic next chapter in Chapmans run on Scream, if this is the only way that readers get to experience what happens next for Andi Benton and her symbiote then fans will love it. As the second part of the Extreme Carnage event it’s still unclear how the entire series will come together but the pieces are there for an entertaining story, and hopefully this finished event will read coherently despite the different creative teams taking over the reigns as the series progresses.

Extreme Carnage: Scream #1 is a fantastic second issue of the crossover. The issue feels like a story solely dedicated to another plot, only for Carnage to appear and hijack it. Scream is practically dragged into the event, going from hidden to involved in a second...Even in a story where the details may not be relatable to the reader, the emotions are palpable. The art team have a style that may create flashbacks to the 90s, leaving a nostalgic feel without getting too obsessed with it. Read Full Review

When a creative team puts their soul into the panels it creates more than a comic book, it creates an adventure the makes a connection with its readers. Extreme Carnage: Scream #1 has a great feel to it and delivers what the fans want. A great story with great art and just enough speculation that will keep folks coming back for more.

Extreme Carnage: Scream does well to show and not tell what this event will be about. It also utilizes Scream's pain well to further grow and develop the character. Paired with a grittier art style and some great sound effects, it's well worth a look especially if you're on board for Extreme Carnage. Read Full Review

The dark, mystical tone and tragic destruction of a strong partnership makes the comic more than a basic crossover tale, but it remains to be seen if the authors are truly willing to throw their partnership away to simply give Carnage a visible score. Sacrificing a female symbiote this early in the crossover seemingly simply to boost the male seems a bit excessive. Here's hoping the crossover is aiming to strengthen all the offspring symbiotes and this is simply a throwaway feint. Read Full Review

Extreme Carnage: Scream #1 had the opportunity to make meaningful decisions but instead relied on a WOW factor. Read Full Review

The most noteworthy thing about Extreme Carnage: Scream is how bluntly it shows Marvel symbiote events' dull, repetitive nature. Read Full Review

I did not feel this consistent, a bit exaggerated for my taste.

I thought this extreme carnage story sounded great and it definitely is!!! I'm loving every page of what's been happening with the symbiotes of late.

"...But I can feel it. Making me dizzy. Where's it coming from? Can you hear it?! Calling to usss..!" Chilling proposal that I am willing to accept.

This was good. I'm glad it brought back the best character Marvel has ever created, Spider-Doppelganger even if it was brief. I wonder if this officially caps off the end of the story Chapman was trying to do in the Scream solo series. I can't say the loose plot threads were tied up, so much as burned off.

As much as I like the art of Mooneyham, it annoys me that Scream is making a reversion. But at least this explains why Carnage was able to avoid detection by Eddy. Although I can't help but feel, that's handwaving that Marvel is trying to profit off his appearance in the Venom movie.

Scream falls under the sway of Carnage's siren song, forcing its host Andi Benton to take extreme measures. This is a pretty nice one-shot, with the character's existing themes of family tying nicely onto Carnage's current MO. The prose is solid; the art is nicely done, though it's not to my taste. I appreciate the character work (and the serious consequences) enough to push this up (just barely) into "good comic" territory.
