Deadpool vs. Carnage #1 (2014)

 RANDOM MARVELS PROJECT


Dipping my net into the ocean of Marvel and seeing what comes up.



Writer: Cullen Bunn

Artist: Salva Espin 


Cletus Kasady AKA Carnage breaks out of prison and goes on a killing spree. 



But his movements are so random that the authorities cannot predict where he might strike next. 



Watching the news reports on television, Deadpool has the epiphany that one madman can  track down another if he opens himself to the signs that the universe places before him. 



Really good artwork helps to sell a story that is light and humorous but otherwise feels pretty padded.
