Minimum Carnage Starring Agent Venom and The Scarlet Spider

This was a great story line for Carnage and to include the newest Spider-Men, Venom and Scarlet Spider, made this a FABULOUS event!  Carnage is crazier than ever!  Okay he's a total psychopathic murderer but you can't help but love his passion (hah).  I liked this because Carnage has never really wanted anything except to KILL people but now he's decided he was to be a God of the microverse and he has his own mini army to help.  Seriously if you're a fan you've got to pick this up, it's a ton of fun (maybe fun isn't the word here but lets go with it).
Here are just a few of my favorite pages from the conclusion issue Minimum Carnage Omega #1:
 *Spoiler Alert*
My FAVORITE part of this book is the end and happens to be the reason why Scarlet Spider continues to be a staple in my pile every month.  Kaine is the anti-hero of the Spider world.  Even though he has accepted and embraced his new role as a superhero he still holds onto his general principles and beliefs and handles things accordingly.  He sees Kasady as he is, nothing but a cold blooded killer and a dangerous man to keep alive, so he does the sensible thing and ends his life to end the murder.
How many times have you wanted this to happen at the end of a comic?  What if superheroes killed?  Well the Scarlet Spider will apparently do what needs to be done to keep people safe even if that means killing to do it.  I actually feel like this is more realistic to what would happen in the real world.  It's kill or be killed more times than not I think it would come to this.  Then again who wants to keep creating new villains?  =)

So Cleatus Kasady is dead.  But...
CARNAGE LIVES!!!

Still not sure if I love or hate that ending,
