Spider-Man:
Carnage in New York
By
David
Michelinie and Dean Wesley Smith
Julie Bell did that
excelent cover your looking at and its fantastic. If your a
Carnage fan, and I know a lot of your are, this is your book.
Personally I find the character to be a clone of the original
Venom. Whoops I said the "C" word. Oh man this review
sure won't be taken seriously now!
The plot of the book is pretty much summed up by it's title.
Carnage is transfered from jail to a lab for doctors to try to
remove his living costume. Here's a hint guys, if a prisoner is
ever transfered to a lab, the odds are very good that he's going
to escape. Carnage did just that, and it's up to our man with the
wonderous webs to stop him.
This novel was written back in 1995 before the Aunt May fiasco
and her death and ressurection. She has a neat role in this book
and she's a welcome character to teh novle. Evidently she is
having trouble paying the martage and it's up to Pete and MJ to
help her.
The only problem I had with the book was its length. The book was
a really quick read adn only came in at 245 pages. The print was
very large so it was easy to plow right through. I infact read
this whole book in an afternoon. If authors Michelinie and Smith
would have added more elements besides just Carnage causing mass
destruction this would have been even more entertaining.
Otherwise this was a little above average book , so it's getting
two and a half web heads.
