Read a few comics as a kid, but the bug didn’t kick in until avoiding studying for college finalsβ€”& there was the spinner rack. Eventually burned out by X-Men crossovers and New 52. Dipped a toe in again a few years ago and am feeling the joy again! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

I haven’t read it since it came out originally, but really liked it at the time.

The issues are in my collectionβ€”somewhere.

I almost picked up the Omnibus over the weekend during a sale. Probably should have.

First I come across Misty Knight yesterday in Eddie Brock: Carnage, and now today in Jessica Jones: Blind Spot (what’s with all the colons?!).

Win-win.

Between this series and the current Knull effort, I’m definitely rethinking my relationship with symbiotes, and perhaps I’ll delve into the King in Black story that is referenced here.

Carnage (in a suit, tie, and hat, with a cane) and Eddie (sitting on a chair clad only in his boxer shorts) talk in the Below. Behind Carnage are pictures of various Marvel characters, including Silver Surfer, Bullseye, Hela, Galactus, Phoenix, Venom, and Elektra/Daredevil.

…how Carnage works as a symbiote, but the struggle with Eddie is fascinating. Eddie is smart in how he counters Carnage, particularly into revealing the location of the kidnapped plane passengers. The setup for the next arc was good, and I already have Vol 2 on order with my LCS.

Much to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed Eddie Brock: Carnage Volume 1, Killing Me.

It was a little violent/bloody in places, but the interplay between Eddie and Carnage was handled adroitly by Charles Soule. The scenes in The Under were particularly effective.

I’m not sure I fully understand…

It’s fantastic to hear that Patrick Horvath is already writing the sequel to Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring (is that in contention for longest comic book series title?)!
