The Deadpool story isn't really sure what to bring. It's not that funny, but it's protracted for the action it brings.And it's too bad because Carnage and Deadpool actually have real history together. And to some degree, they're the same character: indestructible, violent red Spider-Man recolors (even though Spider-Man, you know, has a lot of red.)It also has the problem of many, many tie-in books where it does not make any sense because the characters from the main story are here. How can Spide...
This is pretty much exactly what you'd expect: hilarious one-liners, lots of fighting and violence, AND (like all other Absolute Carnage tie-ins) Carnage coming for the Codex in Wade's spine. Deadpool actually is an incredibly valuable find, as he has bonded with 5 different symbiotes in the past. Guest-starring Spider-Man (bringing back the fun dynamic set in Spider-Man/Deadpool), this Volume was a quick read and a fun time.Recommend... even if you aren't reading Absolute Carnage.
It was an ok mini for the crossover, but Deadpool's place in the story felt forced (although I love me any Spidey-pool scenes).
Ah man, I loved DPs' clash with Cletus and this was no exception especially thanks to a friendly old neighbourhood webhead helping out.I only wish it'd been longer.**Edit - Special mention towards Captain Marvel for A) Looking like a woman this time B) Not acting like a homicidal maniac and C) Being written in such a way I ACTUALLY want to read more comics featuring her or at least ones written by competent writers.
These were bad. Captain Marvel was ok. So glad Absolute Carnage is over with.
Deadpool: "Gorillas are nuts man. The women kidnapping, the building climbing... the faeces throwing, so much faeces throwing". One of the reasons I am putting my self through the Absolute Carnage mini-event, is because of the Deadpool, Parker and Miles tie-in volumes. This one paid off a bit with old school scribe Frank Tieri actually cracking a few good funnies as Wade and Spider-man team up against a cacophony of Symbiotes. 6 out of 12Also this volume collects the Ravenscroft pages from Capta...
I just can't stand these Deadpool books anymore. I don't mind humor, but does every single, freaking, panel, need to be a joke? I rather have one out loud laugh from a well built moment than a tsunami of jokes, which seems to be the basis of all these Deadpool titles. One star extra for the art, which was really good.
So many silly symbiotes. The spine fetish is new. Very chaotic mess.
Absolute Carnage Vs. Deadpool Review:Absolute Carnage vs. Deadpool is so far the last one in the Deadpool vs. mini series. It also serves as a tie-in for the event Absolute Carnage. I enjoyed the first one with Carnage and it is still one of my fave with this series. So I was actually really excited for this rematch. At first I really did, as the beginning of this story was really entertaining. The jokes are funny here, I really enjoyed them. The artwork is really amazing here. Easily the best a...
The Deadpool stories were great, his interaction with Spidey is great, as always! Good art and integrates into the overall arc.The Captain Marvel story was okay, unsure of the repercussions ti the rest if the arc.Both were well written and drawn and a worthwhile read.
Perfect blend of humor and horror
I went into this one thinking it might be a much needed injection of humour in the decidedly grim Absolute Carnage crossover event but it turned out to be so-so Deadpool-by-numbers that failed to raise much of a giggle and ended up feeling disjointedly tonally inappropriate.In fact, the Captain Marvel one-shot chucked on the end of this book actually made me laugh than the three Deadpool issues put together. It actually ended up being this book’s saving grace.
Actually a pretty solid tie-in book. Carnage sends his cronies after Deadpool because he was merged with 5 different symbiotes. There's also a story where Captain Marvel's cat, Chewie, gets Carnagized.
With another mini-event comes a slew of tie-ins, to varying effect. First up for Absolute Carnage is Absolute Carnage Vs. Deadpool, which brings Wade to Ravencroft after an altercation with Spider-Man puts him on the road to recovery, only for Carnage to set his sights on Wade once he realises that Wade was once a host to four symbiotes at a time.The actual Carnage Vs. Deadpool stuff isn't anything to write home about. It's fun, a little zany, and Frank Tieri manages to stop from going too overb...
Of all the tie ins so far this one was the best. Dead pool always makes things better. Was it a necessity to read…..no….I’m feeling all these tie ins aren’t. But it wasn’t horrendous like the previous.
I guess you could call this the wacky sidebar stories of Absolute Carnage. Deadpool is up to his usual antics and the Captain Marvel one shot revolves around Carnage taking control of her cat. It’s pretty easy and straight forward with only a few jokes that weren’t quite doing it for me.
I wasn't expecting too much from this book as Deadpool comics are typically silly and they get even sillier when it's part of a crossover event. But they did get to contrive a reason for the symbiotes to decide to chase after him despite other high-priority targets in the area. A lot of chasing and related violence and then we have that.This volume also includes a Captain Marvel one-shot tie-in book that was a lot lighter in tone as well and pretty much involved her trying to save her cat/flerke...
Doesn’t manage to hit the same notes from the Spiderman and Deadpool series, but it was still somewhat entertaining, despite not know anything about the Absolute Carnage event or anything really about Carnage, other than what I learned from playing the old Separation Anxiety game (and falling off many bridges while webslinging).
This volume just prove me how I'm not a fan of Deadpool! Too humoristic for me and not enough of a story. The action was good, but that's about. And why did they place a Captain Marvel / Carnage story at the end of the volume... I don't know. Wouldn't recommend it!
What I expected from this crossover...mindless violence. But Deadpool and Spidey can make this work.
