After being lobotomized “on the fly” by the Scarlet Spider, Cletus Cassidy, aka Carnage, has become quite docile and locked away from the world. In the events of Superior Carnage, the symbiote was transferred to another host only to end up in the vault of the Superior Spider-Man. Most recently in Superior Carnage Annual #1, the symbiote escaped capture and found its way back home in the now very capable hands of Cletus Cassidy. Carnage is back and on the streets folks, and its gonna take one hell of a character to hunt him down…

As Deadpool is lounging around his home he sees on the news that Carnage is on another one of his murdering rampages. Initially, the merc with a mouth yawns at the idea. Then, as if almost through the hands of fate, he feels as if the universe is trying to tell him something. He can be the one to track down Carnage and bring him in. I mean, who else is suited for such an insane task, right? Through his own creative investigating, he finds the killer and launches an offensive in the usual Deadpool fashion. As things begin to wrap up, an unexpected visitor throws a wrench into his plans.

Cullen Bunn (writer) has something very entertaining for us here. He’s done well at capturing type of twisted comedy these two characters bring to the table. Salva Espin (art) and Veronica Gandini (color) have their hands full with these characters and have represented them well. This is a good looking, and fun issue. I can’t wait to see how things go as the battle continues in Deadpool vs Carnage #2, due out April 16th. This is sure to be an epic vs match-up that some would consider a dream match! It’s not too late to get in on this, so head on over to your local comic shop and pick up your copy today!
