Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 From Marvel.com: What’s worse than one mayhem-producing symbiote? Two. What’s worse than that? Three. That’s right: Venom’s offspring, Carnage, is about to have a baby itself -- a creature of indescribable power and appetites. Question is, who’s gonna bring up baby? Quick -- someone call Spider-Man! Let me tell you something: I've seen the cover art for issues 2 and 3, and it will blow you fucking mind! This Clayton Crain guy is going to be huge! Now, I'm not a huge Venom (or Carnage) fan. In fact, I think he's overrated, but I will be picking this book up if only for the art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 And the word from Marvel is that Carnage's child will be even more sinister that its father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well, Venom is blue. Carnage is left. Going with Marvel's paint by numbers, the evil new symbiote will inevitably look like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Jesus Christ that art work that you posted was insane. I'm telling you, the cover art for the other issues is beyond insane. I just wish I could find it online, but apparently Marvel hasn't released it to the public yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Everytime I look at that Carnage/Venom picture it just looks even more awesome. I'm ecstatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Heat Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Everytime I look at that Carnage/Venom picture it just looks even more awesome. I'm ecstatic. They have to make that a poster. There's been two pieces of work I've wanted as a poster. One was a Captain America from a heroes reborn advertisement I have in Green Goblin #13. He's standing there with his uniform all torn, half in colour, half monochrome. It's just awesome. The second one is this. Marvel better hold onto Crain.

Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I am digging deep into the Internet to find the cover for issue #4. You guys need to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Logan Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Lord, I might have to buy these. All of them. Art like that is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 An early review states that the book is only so-so, but it might be worth it just to see the art up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Sorry guys, but I just can't seem to find the cover to #4. Maybe in a few weeks (days?) it will appear online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 An early review states that the book is only so-so, but it might be worth it just to see the art up close. I think they're only doing this story to show off this incredible artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Cheap Heat's Prediction: Black Cat joins with new symbiote. That would explain why she's on the cover of the third issue, but this new creature is supposed to be super deadly, even more so than Carnage. And I don't see Cat being that way.

Fat DJ Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 They plan to release 32 pages of this every month? Oh god. How can he do so much good so fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I think he uses a mixture of pencils and computer. I've seen some of his earlier work, and it was clearly computer models. So that might explain his speed. Another thing to keep in mind is that this is a mini, so Marvel might have given him enough lead time get it done before solicitation.

Missy Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Actually, I think he's his own inker. As for colors, he might do that too. (At least I hope so, 'cause I wouldn't want anyone to have to suffer through inking and coloring that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 The art looks great, but I'm wary of Venom because I've been dissapointed by many of the Venom series I've read. I may pick up #1 (if it isn't sold out) and take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
