ABSOLUTE CARNAGE OMNIBUS

Book arrived in great condition, no breakeage or corner bending (considering the size and weight of the book), quality glossy paper and great bindage (as mentioned before, this is a big book).As for the story itself, it was good, especially if you are a fan of Carnage and Venom's current run. As for me, I grew up with the Carnage stories of the 90's and was a big fan of the Maximum Carnage arc, which got call out on one of the team up mini series included on the book. As with any long stories, some mini series where better than others, with some not really adding anything to the overall main story. In summary, great book, good story and art. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because (as with many Marvel books this size) the stories are not arranged in reading order, so it gets a little cumbersome going back and forth through the book to go through the events on the story. Even so, I recommend this book and look forward to the "King in Black" sequel this December.

Let's start with the tangible. It's a good solid product in terms of the book itself. Binding is good, paper quality is good, that I would give a 5/5.Where things get fuzzy is the story. I have 2 main issues here. One is presentation, the other content. I'm a little disappointed that this is just story after story without any incorporation or attempts at organizing things chronologically. This is an EVENT. I want to sit down with this omni and be able to flip through the event from beginning to end! Instead of that, we get Absolute Carnage, then Venom, Then Deadpool vs Carnage, Then Miles Morales' story, etc etc. I dunno. I get that it was probably complicated to order them all, I was hoping it would be presented as a comprehensive look at the event instead of just a bunch of TPB's essentially stapled together.Also It really bugs me that this is a full price Omnibus with a relatively low page count, yet they didn't include any of the Web of Venom issues (of which I think there are 4 that really set up the story. Carnage Born, Unleashed, Cult of Carnage and Funeral Pyre. All of them are just issues that gear up to this series and I really think they should have been included.

A must have for any fan of the 2018 Venom run. The quality is amazing and it's nice to know you have everything you need to read for Absolute Carnage in one large book.

Great collection of comic books, amazing story

Some of the pages were torn when upon arrival

This is a wonderful way to read the Absolute Carnage story arc. There’s nothing like the feel of a HC omnibus in your hands.

THIS COMIC WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED AND SO MUCH MORE!

10/10. PERFECTO ESTADO.

Yes i like it a lot i like so much marvel

Produto em perfeito estado, muito bem embalado e entrega rápida.

The design is beautiful and the book quality is great, only issue is the reading order ... that was a sad shortcoming the omnibus had. Book came in perfect condition. Glad of the purchase, but I hope they released a better edition.

Très beau livre et histoire très complete, à recommander pour tout les fans de Marvel

Personally, I really liked the main story event. Absolute carnage 1-5. Def worth the read. Although this whole event is one big set up for the next upcoming event. So dont go into this expecting a complete story. But it is rather good regardless. The venom issues are also good and worth reading.But...The crossover mini series and one shots? I wouldnt call them bad, but if you didnt read then, you wouldnt be missing much. The only one that I kinda liked was "lethal protectors". That includes alot from the "maximum carnage" storyline from years ago. So that was kinda cool. It was basically the reunion of most of the heroes that fought carnage together during maximum carnage. It even had Carnage's old team going him again and becoming his chief enforcers. But beyond that one? Most can be skipped.The omnibus is played out in order of series. So nothing is in chronological order. So you are jumping all over the place storywise. I will never understand why they do this. Put it in as the issues were released. That's how it was meant to be read in the first place, but that's just me.So my verdict? The absolute carnage series is awesome and worth reading. The absolute carnage omnibus itself? Buy it if you are a completionist, but otherwise? It's really not worth it. Buy the absolute carnage and venom trades and you would be golden. The omnibus itself looks nice and looks good on a shelf, but story content wise, it's just not worth the extra money.I rated the omnibus 3 stars. But the mini series itself? On it's own? I would give 5 stars.
