Flash Thompson Venom Recs

@vulpinesaint asked for some recommendations on getting into Flash-as-Venom, so I decided to put together a little guide. Mind you, this is geared towards already having familiarity with Eddie, and of course by extension the Venom Symbiote.

Now -- let me start by saying it may be helpful to see first where it all started going downhill for Eddie and the Symbiote (because we don't get to other hosts until after their breakup). Are any of those comics good? Not really!

But If you really wanted to you could check out Spectacular Spider-Man (2003, Jenkins/Ramos) #1-5 and Marvel Knights Spider-Man (2004, Millar/Cho) #5-12 or thereabouts, which will take you through the official breakup, Angelo Fortunato, and the introduction of Mac Gargan.

For a little taste of what the symbiote had been up to before Chosen Blond Man #2, I also recommend Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man (2009, Reed/Bachalo) #1-4 and Siege: Spider-Man (Reed/Santucci, one-shot, just because it's funny).

At the risk of being controversial I also rec the fabulous "New Ways to Die" arc (Amazing Spider-Man #568-573, Slott/Romita Jr.) for a peek at what's going on with Eddie during this time.

If you'd like a primer on Flash Thompson before you jump into Symbiote nonsense, you can check out Amazing Spider-Man #574, which is not a great issue but it is helpful to see what was going on with him. I also recommend the Amazing Spider-Man #622 B story "Stages of Grief" which IS really good and delightful.

Flash officially kicks off as Agent Venom in Amazing Spider-Man #654-654.1 (really -- there's a point-one issue). It's written by Dan Slott so it's not, you know, great, but if you've read Venom Inc. you know what to expect.

Venom (2011) is the real meat of Flash's time. He's kind of silly, as you can see, but for the most part I enjoyed this series. Does it have problems? Sure, but it's worth a read.. The first part (#1-27.1) is written by Rick Remender, and the second (#28-42) is by Cullen Bunn. The latter is, at least in my experience, better-loved for its introduction of Mania in #38, but they are both worth reading.

My personal highlights are: #2 (very good Flash/Symby at the end) #6-8 (Spider-Island tie-ins, you get to see what Eddie is up to) #13-14 (Circle of Four!!!) #17-22 (Savage Six, more fun with Eddie) #33-36 (esPECIALLY #35 oh my god #35 is everything to me. I'm normal don't look at me) #38-42 (Mania -- need I say more?)

I would also be remiss to leave out Superior Spider-Man (2013) #22-25 because while the story is.. meh..?? ...it does have some great Flash/Symby. I would live for them.

Agent Venom additionally appears in Secret Avengers (2010) and Thunderbolts (2013), but all I can really recommend here is the T-bolts Annual. It's a fun one.

And now we get into Cosmic Bullshit Shenanigans!

Flash and the Symbiote join up with the Guardians of the Galaxy (2013, Bendis) in #14, but are officially introduced in the Free Comic Book Day GotG special. My only recommendations here are #21-23, but they're big recommendations.

Once you've read #23, you can jump right into Venom: Space Knight #1-13 (R. Thompson), which is by FAR my favourite Venom series of all time and I'm not even joking. I can't even express how much I adore this series. WOMEN. I LOVE WOMEN. Just. Just read it. And then cry that it's only 13 issues

And from there, you know how it ends if you read Venom #150. Such was the end of Flash's time as Venom, but what a wild ride it was.

now we just need to get eddie on board with a third

If you're curious about Flash's story post-resurrection (he died, if you missed that from the Cates run) you can check out my little guide here, and also the most recent Carnage series by Torunn Grønbekk. What the future holds for Flash Thompson is up in the air (as it always is with Spidey's supporting cast) but I've got to have hope!

Happy reading!

[sendmyresignation]

hii if u don't mind, any metal bands you'd recommend for someone wanting to get into slightly more obscure stuff but doesn't know where to start digging? any subgenre/time period idc. asking u this bc i trust ur knowledge

i truly truly love getting asks like this, thank you for trusting me and it's awesome to hear you want to dig deeper!!

it's hard for me to give specific recs because i don't know what you've vibed with so ill meet you half way and give you a list as well as some places to learn more just in case i end up in the wrong direction.

these are some bands that clicked for me when i was first exploring outside my comfort zone, as well as some stuff from my aoty from the last few years:

Possessed - Seven Churches; this one is the least obscure but i feel like possessed are easy to miss. important band bridging the gap between thrash and death metal. love crazy maniac shit like this

Satan- Court in the Act; classic new wave of british heavy metal with a bit of edit. type of band that had enormous pull in underground power and speed metal scenes- this is a blueprint for a lot of great obscure heavy metal with the soaring vocals and the tappy solos. i love chastain (american, mid/late 80s response) if you want to see that lineage in effect

Mystifier - Goetia; brazilian metal is a huge huge historically important metal phenomenon. sepultura are more well-known and sarcofago are cult classic black metal pioneers (seriously, inri is one of the greats) but mystifier is a band that opened up the scene for me a little more and is incredible in their own right

Autopsy - Metal Funeral; slow, gripping death metal carnage!! also one of the few legacy bands continuing to release actual good music which is fun. also, if you like the autopsy you'll love derketa, dream death, mythic, winter, all of whom make their own twist on a similar crushing brand of doomy death metal goodness

Sabbat- Envenom; long-running old-school japanese black metal. has that thrashy-punk first wave flavor along the lines of celtic frost, root, bulldozer (also sarcofago) and sodom at their most brutal.

Sacrilege- Behind the Realms of Madness; crusty thrash that had a huge influence on early bolt thrower. good if you're into punk already and want more of that in the metal (their later records lose the crust but gain doom- I almost like them more. killer band)

Vastum. any of their records seriously maybe the best active band on the planet rn.

Warning- Watching from a Distance; if you got to metal through my mcr blog then i think you can handle the whiny vocals on this and get a legit transformative experience out of Warning. seriously love this album, delightfully heavy doom in an emotional package. and doom is easy to rec, satisfying and not to extreme: Pentagram, Candlemass, Trouble, and Saint Vitus are all must must listens

Chevalier- Destiny Calls; combination of speed and power i really love in the classic heavy metal fantasy and knights vein. newer band too with a lot of similar listening to bigger bands in that scene. and if you like this style at all manilla road (the band) is a requirement if you aren't already familar

Some eclectic newer stuff I've enjoyed lately: Vicious Blade, Tyrann, Reverend Bizarre, Nekromantheon, Firmament, Svalbard, Vampirska, Ares Kingdom, Messa

but i really recommend checking out r/metal- their essentials is good for a beginner but they also have a ton of primers that can give you overviews of niche genres. the fenriz metal spotify playlist is also fuckin killer. For new music, look into reviews from sites like angrymetalguy, no clean singing, heavy blog is heavy, invisible oranges. helpful to know how your taste aligns with the writing staff (like i know if angrymetalguy dislikes something, im almost guaranteed to like it). shreddit has a release tracker on spotify; there's also a constant update of new releases on the metal archive!

Scarlet Spider Primer #2:The Jackal

Miles Warren is Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy’s college science professor, a supervillain responsible for The Punisher’s rise to power, and the closest thing anyone could reasonably say that Ben Reilly has to a father.

He became The Jackal following the death of Gwen Stacy, because he was obsessed with her in a super creepy way and blamed Spider-Man for her death. His first way of striking back was to set the up-and-coming killer The Punisher against Spider-Man, aided by the public perception that Spider-Man had murdered Norman Osborn. The Punisher failed repeatedly in the task, due largely to Peter’s Spider-Sense, and eventually gave up after coming to doubt that The Jackal was being honest about his motivations.

Not yet aware that they were one and the same, his next move was to kidnap Peter Parker in the hopes of having the Daily Bugle photographer lead him to Spider-Man, wiring a device to Peter’s arm after rendering the teen unconscious with the help of The Grizzly, another new face in Spider-Man’s rogues gallery. Peter carefully disabled it and tossed it into the river with seemingly no repercussion.

As part of his twisted desire, he created a clone of Gwen Stacy, who surfaced not long after Peter disposed of the device. Aunt May discovered her and the sight of a dead girl shocked her so badly that it sent the old woman to the hospital. He sent Scorpion after Aunt May in the hospital, seemingly knowing that Spider-Man was in her hospital room at the exact moment Peter was visiting her, while the clone of Gwen was proven to be exactly that by the staff of the Daily Bugle.

Once the truth came out, he helped Tarantula break out of prison so that the supervillain could help him capture Spider-Man in turn. When that teamup proved successful, he had Tarantula throw Spider-Man off the Brooklyn Bridge just as Gwen died. After narrowly escaping, Peter teamed up with Ned Leeds and managed to finally connect that Miles Warren was The Jackal before he captured the pair.

With his secret known, he revealed to Spider-Man that he’d loved Gwen and been jealous of her love for Peter, then explained how he’d cloned both her and Peter, subsequently killing the assistant who found out about the cloning and blaming the heinous act of passion on “The Jackal” rather than Miles Warren in a pretty inconsistent split identity kind of way, 

As Spider-Man and the clone that would come to be known as Ben Reilly tussled, the Gwen clone tore the Jackal mask from Warren’s face in disgust, forcing him to acknowledge that he was responsible for everything. His revelation led to him freeing Ned Leeds, seemingly at the cost of his own life.

Before he and Ben resurface again, the villain Carrion (not the one from Maximum Carnage) reveals to Spider-Man that he cloned himself before their final encounter, and that failed and overcooked clone was in fact Carrion, who just dies right after anyway. The subsequent Carrion only believed himself to be a clone of Miles Warren thanks to the high Evolutionary and a retcon to make the cloning stuff more in line with what contemporary science understood.

Science came back around on cloning after a while, and so he came back not long after the Ben Reilly reveal, furthering his campaign of vengeance against Peter with yet another clone, the one who would come to be known as Spidercide, as well as the appearance of Kaine, who had evidently been tormenting Ben during the latter’s time away. In addition to muddying the waters for Peter with the multitude of clones, he also manage to trigger a hypnotic program in Peter that forced the hero to go after Mary Jane, all while also working to destabilize the life that Ben was trying to build.

It was eventually revealed that Norman Osborn was still alive, despite what seemed to happen with the Goblin Glider, and had been pulling all the strings behind the scenes, everything The Jackal did spurred on by Norman, their respective obsessions with Peter and Gwen fueling their partnership for the length of the scheme, which ultimately culminated in Norman killing Ben and causing Mary Jane to lose her child.

Ben dying there still wasn’t the end of the torments that he had in store for the clone, however. Miles Warren refined the cloning process to enable the retention of memories past death, and cloned Ben anew from the scant biological material left behind when the Green Goblin ended Ben’s life. With Ben’s memories persisting even through the veil of death, he killed the clone over and over, gathering data, formulating information on Peter, and just generally enjoying the torment he was inflicting.

When Ben finally escaped this torture, the mentally-warped clone turned the tables on him, repeatedly cloning Miles Warren to the point that neither of them could be sure who was the original real one and who were just worthless clones. With that, Ben stole control away from Warren and became The Jackal himself, ramping up cloning production and setting out on a scheme to trivialize death itself.

Naturally, Peter Parker and the rest of the assembled Spider-People were able to put a stop to The Jackal, ending his scheme and causing him to suffer the accelerated effects of clone degeneration. After his own narrow, death-defying escape, Ben destroyed the last remaining remnants of the Jackal persona and made an attempt to move forward as the Scarlet Spider once again, though still undeniably twisted from the torments he suffered and inflicted alike.

This page is intended as a primer for my problems with the current state of OS X terminal emulation I'll give it to anyone to read before they start suggesting solutions. Overstrike as bold (update: fixed in Leopard!) Can do focus-follows-mouse in 10.3.9 but not 10.4.x? (update: seems to be working in 10.5.5 after following these instructions again) I'm only going to list things that I know annoy _me_ (enough to write this page), and not a complete buglist or potential-annoyance-list.So, without further ado, the issues: Terminal.appThe emulator that comes with OS X. TinTin++ features an advanced automapper, scripting language and VT100 interface.

Guake depends on the See also.TinTin++ ManualMac OS X terminal emulation notes Mac OS X terminal emulation notes IntroductionTinTin++ features an advanced automapper, scripting language and VT100 interface. The developers of Guake will not maintain this branch actively.

#Totalterminal el capitan code#

Old releases and code depending on GTK2 can be found in the 0.8.x branch. This version also dropped support for Python 2. Version 3 Version 3.0.0 was ported from 2 to GTK+ 3. Guake follows the same line of and, but it is an attempt to meld the best of them into a single GTK-based application. Rationale Running Guake is faster than launching a new terminal with a because the program is already loaded into memory, and so can be useful to people who frequently find themselves opening and closing terminals for odd tasks. So I'm back with my old combo (Terminal.app + iTerm2) and it's close to ideal. Thus you can easily use Apple's Terminal in a way you used Visor (except for the animation). And they can be switched on and off (hidden) with the same shortcuts. A tine app called can assign global keyboard shortcut to any application, script, etc. ITerm2 itself seemed not enough for me when I moved to El Capitan.īut there's a way to closely replicate my old setup. I had Visor sliding from top down and I used iTerm2 too, depending on task etc. Before OS X 10.11 El Capitan I used TotalTerminal (Visor) and I loved it. While iTerm2 suggestion is a good one, it has a few problems of its own. To make it look like a Quake drop-down terminal, you can use similar 'Window' preferences. You can customize the settings for the 'Hotkey Window' profile under the 'Profiles' tab. With default settings, the Hotkey Profile window will stretch across the top of the screen, and the hotkey will drop the window down from the top, complete with animation. Check the 'Hotkey toggles a dedicated window with profile:' option and choose 'Hotkey Window' in the popup menu below (should be selected by default). In the bottom left, under 'Hotkey', check 'Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey' and assign the hotkey you'd like to use. In iTerm2 preferences, click on the 'Keys' tab. You can use iTerm2's system-wide hotkey with the Hotkey Window profile to do this. Quake II won Macworld ' s 1999 'Best Shoot-'Em-Up' award, and the magazine's Christopher Breen wrote, 'In either single-player or multiplayer mode, for careening-through-corridor-carnage satisfaction, Quake II is a must-have.' If you frequently use Windows' Command Prompt utility, you might want to find a quicker way of accessing it and that's when third-party apps like WinGuake step into action.

Venom Reading Recommendations

I'm creating this list for @she-grulk but if anyone else wants to use it go right ahead! This is basically going to be categorized by each little story arc, and I'll give a bit of a descriptor for each and then you can decide if it's worth your time or not.

Like all comic characters, Eddie Brock has had some really great moments and then some not-great moments. There's characterization changes here there and everywhere, both for him and the symbiote so that's something to keep in mind.

I'll be starting with just a few issues since Tumblr limits me on number of images.

- You may come across a miniseries called Venom: Dark Origin but I implore you for the love of all that is holy to just skip this one. No offense to Wells but it's got some of the worst Eddie Brock characterization I've ever read in my life. I don't think it's even considered 616 canon in most readings.

- Before you get started, I would actually recommend Web of Spider-Man #1 by Louise Simonson.

It's an excellent primer for understanding Peter's relationship to the symbiote without pawing through the whole Alien Costume saga.

- Venom: Seed of Darkness (one-shot)

This one is part of the "Flashback" series and takes place a number of years prior to anything Venom - it's hands-down one of the best Eddie Brock stories and I feel one of the most phenomenal characterizations. Len Kaminski also wrote Venom: The Hunger and is probably my second-favorite voice for Eddie, after David Michelinie. Also Eddie is pretty and sad.

- Venom: First Kill

So, this story is actually a B-story that is in the following issues:

-- Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 #26

-- Spectacular Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 #12

-- Web of Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 #8

My favorite thing about First Kill is that it takes like 3 pages for Eddie (and the symbiote) to get distracted from their plan to kill Spider-Man to try and save their neighbor, it's just very funny. They're so bad at villainy!

- The First Appearances of Eddie Brock

-- Amazing Spider-Man #298-300

So, for #298-299 it's just cameos at the end of each issue, but of course #300 is the Big Reveal. #300 is actually not a favorite of mine at all because I don't like how McFarlane draws Eddie but Venom is so dramatic they don't even get around to killing Spider-Man and I find that hysterical.

-- Amazing Spider-Man #315-317

This arc has the (in?)famous return of Venom and their fight with Black Cat. Like personally the brutality of their fight with Felicia rubs me a little wrong but #317 is a really great issue and addresses the symbiote's lingering attachment to Peter.

A bonus is Eddie helping Aunt May with her laundry.

-- Amazing Spider-Man #331-333

Venom saves a baby! The first real indication of the Lethal Protector persona here.

Once again the last issue is the best here, or it is at the very least the appearance of the symbiote's death. It's important because this is right before Carnage, as you'll see in...

-- Amazing Spider-Man #344-347

Mark Bagley on pencils!!! is probably the main reason why I recommend these haha. I love the way he draws Eddie, it's just such a glow-up. Anyways, #346-347 have the whole "Spider-Man gets kidnapped to a remote island and fakes his death" which is fun.

NEXT: Carnage and Lethal Protector!

Top 10 Recommended Carnage Stories (pre-Absolute Carnage)

In honour of Absolute Carnage’s beginning I present you with the best Carnage stories if you want to get into and have fun with the character.

My picks here are intentionally excluding anything from Donny Cates’ era partially because his work isn’t finished yet and partially because my hope is this list will act as a primer for people who want to test the waters with Carnage and see if Cates’ current work is worth their time.

This list isn’t ranked at all and nor is it a list of stories that are essential to understanding Carnage’s broad chronology. Like if you read these on their own there will be gaps that will make you wonder how we got from A to B.

Rather this list is intended to give you a general idea of who Carnage is, the types of stories he has or can be used in and what are among the best stories from the character’s POV.

1.       Carnage Origin (ASM #344-345, 359-363)

There are some writing issues with this arc in relation to the F4’s use in the story. However if you put that aside and just focus strictly upon Carnage himself, in many ways this first Carnage story gives you everything you need to know about the character.

We learn most of Cletus Kasady’s backstory, where his symbiote came from, his general philosophy towards life and the dramatic hook he presents as an antagonist.

That is to say what is someone was an unrepentant psychopath...and then  got superpowers. Specifically the same powers as Spider-Man’s then most physically intimidating and scariest enemy...but taken up to 11.

Are there deep psychological layers to Carnage?

Absolutely not.

But that is very much the point.

He’s chaos and death wrapped in black and blood and complete with Freddy Krueger humour and a taste for Metalhead anarchy.

The art is simply stunning, the action is top notch, Carnage’s various abilities and ferocity is expertly sold to readers and just to hammer the seriousness of the situation home, Spidey needs backup from his most dangerous enemy to even hope to bring down Kasady.

So whilst unfortunately not perfect, it is a perfect introduction to the character.

Honourable Mention: Maximum Carnage

I do not recommend you read this if you are new to Carnage, Spider-Man or comics in general. Maximum Carnage is enjoyable to certain fans but for most is something of an endurance test.

However it must be mentioned as it is undoubtedly Carnage’s most famous story. It doesn’t really give us anything new for his character beyond introducing his on and off again girlfriend Shriek and his ‘kids’ Doppelganger, Carrion, Demogoblin, etc. These characters intermittently show up in Carnage’s lore.

The whole story is a series of repetitive action set pieces...for 14 issues!

If you aren’t brave enough to check this out then perhaps consider reading synopses of it or watching recap videos online (RNS does a good one), just so you know the broadstrokes of the story as it is relevant to future Carnage history and Absolute Carnage is it’s spiritual successor.

2.       The Mortal Past (ASM Annual 1994)

Arguably the best written Carnage story within the pages of Spider-Man.

The art is very reminiscent of Mark Bagley, co-creator of Carnage, so visually Carnage looks and ‘moves’ in character.

However the general story, whilst not redeeming Carnage at all, does give us a little more about his past and explores his philosophy from a different angle.

What helps this story is that while it is a Carnage story, the emotional weight of the story is carried by his former childhood friend, allowing for Carnage to neither sell out on his core concept of being a simple killing machine, but also giving the readers something to connect to beyond Spidey and Carnage fighting.

3.       Carnage: Mind Bomb #1

Many Carnage fanatics argue this obscure one shot is Carnage’s ‘Killing Joke’. In a sense they are right as this story is the deepest exploration of who Kasady is and why he is the way he is.

We learn little about his past (beyond a few more early warning signs from his childhood) but this is Warren Ellis’ point. The story is oddly meta as it presents us with a psychiatrist who is looking to unravel the layers of Kasady’s mind, only to learn there really aren’t any.

He is simple. That is the point. He simply sees society and life as a joke, a big lie and that savagery lies beneath the surface. He illustrates this by driving his doctor utterly mad.

This story works because though it takes place in a superhero universe and features a super villain, there is no hero here. There are barely any good guys to speak of.

Rather this issue is in effect a horror comic, the first time Carnage was ever used in this way. This is reflected in the art work, which is definitely R-rated and depicts Carnage very differently. He’s essentially solid red and leaner, more skeletal even.

A good way to look at this story is as “What if Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees sat down and explained to you why they kill people’

Gory and not for the faint of heart, but this issue is the best story you will ever read that spells out for you who Carnage is and why, from his POV, he does what he does.

4.       Web of Carnage (Sen #3, ASM #410, No Adj #67, Spec #233)

Carnage appeared a few times in the Clone Saga but this is his best outing. In general this is one of the more fun and enjoyable Clone Saga/Ben Reilly stories. But as a Carnage story it’s unique as it focuses much more upon the symbiote than Kasady.

The premise is simple yet effective. The Carnage symbiote bonds to Spider-Man/Ben Reilly and he must resist it’s attempts to control him or tempt him to violence, which includes urging him to murder Peter Parker!

The meat of the story is in parts 3-4 when we see Ben’s internal struggle against the symbiote. Visually, the art is not consistent because of different artists, but they are all decent-great and the design for Spider-Carnage is so iconic it was adopted for the finale of the Spider-Man 1994 cartoon series.

A simple yet fun story!

5.       Carnage: It’s a Wonderful Life #1

I recommend this tentatively.

This is because it technically speaking covers much the same ground as Mind Bomb but isn’t as good. I suppose if you read this first you wouldn’t get that impression.

Nevertheless, It’s a Wonderful Life is an even longer and more literal look inside Carnage’s head. Psychedelic, twisted, macabre and full of dark humour the story just about pulls off it’s horror premise. It feels like something out of a 1990s Dark Horse comic.

The one thing that this issue has over Mind Bomb is that it makes an astute observation about Carnage’s core philosophy I don’t dare spoil.

Honourable Mention: Venom vs. Carnage #1-4

This story is in general pretty fun but doesn’t give you much of anything new for Carnage beyond him teaming up with Venom and the introduction of his spwan Toxin, who is a pretty cool character in his own right.

More significantly it was the first major time Clayton Crain drew symbiotes and he’d go on to have one of the most memorable visual takes on them ever.

6.       Family Feud  (Carnage #1-5, by Zeb Wells)

I’m not fond of most of Wells work and have issues with this era for Spider-Man. But when looked at as a Carnage story first and foremost, this series marks an important point in the character’s history.

At the time Venom had transitioned into a more heroic figure meaning Carnage, much as he was back when he was created, was pushed as the face of evil symbiotes within the Marvel universe. To that end he began to have a string of his own mini-series just like Venom had in the 1990s.

In many ways this mini-series is playing cleanup, returning the Carnage symbiote and Kasady to Earth after their presumed death in New Avengers #1. The series however also seeks to build a foundation from which future stories can be told and to that end reintroduces Shriek and Doppelganger too, sets up Carnage’s daughter Scorn.

It does all this pretty effectively to my recollection and has great art by Crain to sell everything.

7.       Carnage U.S.A. #1-5

Zeb Wells in this story tells a story that could have been an event crossover but mercifully was not.

He and Crain return to deliver arguably the most ambitious Carnage story up until then, involving him infecting a whole town with his symbiote.

This again feels very much like a Dark Horse horror comic at times but still contains superhero elements and tones a plenty, finding a decent balance between the two.

Wells continues to world build by reintroducing many of the other Venom spawns (Carnage’s ‘siblings’) and uses them to great effect along with Agent Venom Flash Thompson who meets Carnage for the first time in this story.

Carnage himself is just very on point with his twisted plan and machinations, with this tale being among his more memorable villainous feats.

8.       Deadpool vs. Carnage #1-4

Have you ever seen a Road Runner cartoon? Have you ever seen parodies of Road Runner cartoons by late night animated shows where they use dark humour to make the antics more bloody and violent?

That is essentially what this mini-series is. It’s two wisecracking, red and black clad over the top characters going at it in wacky and violent shenanigans.

However there is also poignantly some stuff in the story that even makes Carnage question his life philosophy in one of the most oddly clever takedowns of his character ever.

9.       AXIS: Carnage #1-3

This story has it’s issues, in particular with who it’s villain is, but that’s more a problem for Spidey and Venom history.

As for Carnage himself this story comes recommended for it’s sheer novelty.

It’s Carnage...but as a...good guy?

The premise of the AXIS event was that certain heroes and villains were ‘inverted’ so that they went from good to bad and vice versa.

The wrinkle in this though is that Kasady is still Kasady. He’s still violent, insane, wisecracking and has a warped sense of morality, it’s just that now he finally has  a sense of morality. He is sincerely trying to do good he’s just not all that aware his methods are somewhat counterproductive and extreme.

10.   The One That Got Away, World Tour, What Dwells Beneath, (Carnage #1-16 by Gerry Conway)

Mind Bomb and It’s a Wonderful life were the first Carnage comics to embrace the use of the character for horror, but Conway’s Carnage picked the ball and ran with it.

Conway said he was in essence doing Tomb of Dracula with Carnage and it shows.

The series revolves around Carnage but the real main characters are the anti-Carnage taskforce assembled to put him down, giving us grounded relatable characters to connect to whilst we follow Carnage’s slaughter. There is a surprising swerve in the story where the story goes from a simple slasher movie style horror into full on Lovecraftian style horror which propels the consequent arcs of the series. The ending is rather rushed and weak I must admit, but the ride getting there is arguably the best crafted Carnage story ever.

WIP Whenever

Tagged by @crackinglamb, thanks for thinking of me!The following is an original Starfinder campaign primer I start GMing this Sunday

I’ll tag @citadelsushi @pigeontheoneandonly @natsora @ljandersen and @ooachilliaoo, no pressure of course!

A call came out from Eox:

Compete in Lord Saraebin’s First Annual Grand Tourney! Combatants can enter in alone, or in groups up to eight! Test your skills against Warrior and Beast alike! Prove Your Metal! Let the Roar of the Crowds Fuel your Victory! Carnage, Mayhem, Chaos, Death! Claim the title of Grand Tourney Champion(s)! Wealth and Riches For All Victors!  1,2,3,4

Grand Prize! The Finest Starship Money Can Buy! Courtesy of your Most Gracious Host and Organizer, Lord Saraebin Tijette!

1 All matches are to the death.

2 No prizes shall be awarded for any match other than the grand finale!

3 Contestants may choose to bet their money on the outcome of any match, including their own!

4 Loser’s possessions shall be burned along with the deceased, except for such items not on their persons when the grounds crew arrives on scene.

You are part of a small squad of elite combatants, assembled and sponsored by a crime boss off of Akiton by the name of Nakamondo Yarbee, Anarchist of Maro, Scourge of the Law, The Ring-Master, and Collector of Coins (Nakamondo, to her friends.)

Nakamondo Yarbee is a huge specimen, even for a vesk. Towering over you at 223 cm, Nakamondo has been pacing back and forth in her private shuttle rumbling threats about the price of failure. Despite her imposing size and grim nature, you’re heartened by the terms she provided. She assembled you for the explicit purpose of winning money cooking the books on Eox, a familiar racket for her. You’re entitled to any and all physical belongings on the enemy combatants, but she insists you hand over any and all credits on the corpses to her, to reinvest in betting. Should you win the Grand Final, the prize ship is yours and you’ll be free to leave Eox on your own recognizance. 

Grumblings and curses aside, you know the only way out of each round of the bracket is victorious or body-bagged and bound for the furnace. You very much doubt that you’ll live long enough to face the wrath of the vesk should you lose.

You perk up as the ship begins its descent into Eox’s atmosphere. Time to focus up, and as a seasoned veteran you know that starts by taking stock of your surroundings...
