So this is a full-on crossover, right? Meaning if I want to read Scarlet Spider from October to March, I have to buy eight other books, not including possible double ships? That's not very appealing.

Eh, you've got it wrong. If you want to read Scarlet Spider, just read that, 2 Venom issues, and 2 Minimum Carnage issues. The order is Minimum Carnage: Alpha, then the stories in Venom and Scarlet Spider, and then, to end the storyline, Minimum Carnage: Omega.

I stand corrected. I completely missed the line where they said it was ending in November That's not too bad at all, then.

[Venomous Mask]

They're starting with an Alpha book, crossing over between books in the middle, and ending with an Omega. Sounds like the format of Age of Apocalypse and Maximum Clonage.

Two great tastes that taste great together, thanks Wacker!

So I'll be on the hook for 4 comics I wouldn't normally buy as a Scarlet Spider reader eh...I guess thats not too bad but I'll have to wait to see where my budget for comics is come Oct.

Even more excited for this now. I love both of these books, and Carnage is one of my favorite villains. Should be awesome!

Was hoping that this would be by Wells and Crain, but making it by the creators behind Venom and Scarlet makes sense. Thankfully, this will be a short book. I take it this will be six issues long?

I thought Zeb Wells and Joe Mad might have something to do with this, but Yost and Bunn are two creators I can deal with. I'll probably buy it all. :)

Overall it's probaly a 4 or 5 month long event.

Doesn't the Venom Symbiote hate the Carnage offspring symbiote, so either way doesn't that mean that Flash would be involved in this event even if he didn't want to ?

Also, this isn't the first time Carange went up against a clone of Spider-man...I mean if anyone can recall Spider-Carnage, right ?

I'm just saying there is a bit of history within this storyline, am I right ?

They say it will end in November, so we got the Alpha issue, Venom and Scarlet Spider in October, then Venom, Scarlet Spider, and Omega in November.

Ah, I see. I thought that maybe the Alpha issue would come out one month and then the other two series the next couple of months and Omega coming even later. Sorry.

I actually like the two month schedule better even if it gets expensive.

[Wellman]

Fan of both books and Carnage, I will be glad to see where they take this one goes as the two Wells series have been very good.


The fact that Yost said he was schooled on Marvel lore actually increases my anticipation on this book.
