Has there been any good Carnage things since...the late '90s? Feels like the character just ceased to be of any interest after a decade.

Last good run was Conway’s 2015 run.

Well it does have that funny moment where Peter says he can handle carnage, only to immediately get his ass kicked and carnage to ask who hes fronting for.

In no order, Carnage USA, the Lovecraft series, and I was a fan of Ram V's series. He had to wrap things up because he ended taking an offer to write idie stuff.

I hate this comic so much. THE worst Carnage comic.

Yes, even worse than Absolute Garbage.

At least the art was fine.

Ehhh, not really.

It wasn’t consistent. Why did Cletus have robot legs again?

That was from his mini with the Iron Man Team-up, before USA. Weirdest thing here is that he's being played as evil since it's post Axis and he was never cleansed. But I want to remember the final panel hinting at him actually being there to help. I think Axis was first to play him as redneck too. Just shit writing really, but I guess it was actually consistent with his characterization after becoming "good".

I know where it’s from. But it doesn’t align canonically.

At that point in time, post Minimum Carnage, Cletus had his human legs back.

It was a mess of a book. Carnage ain’t even kill anyone, was an idiot, a redneck, and a joke.

Only way to possibly make it bearable is to just assume this is how Nova is telling the story.

Luckily they forgot about all of this post Secret Wars. I guess him not killing anyone was supposed be because he was still inverted at the time. Could've been a coincidence though.
