Loved this issue. This one was insane
Continued from Preview with Venom Hulk vs Grendal Carnage and Eddie gearing up with Jury Tech and Captain America's Shield
spoilers:end of spoilers
- Eddie begins fighting the army of Carnage dopplegangers. Carnage Miles attacks
- Grendal Carnage gains the upper hand and begins absorbing Venom Hulk (three tendrils attacking his brain)
- Carnage Miles taunts Eddie but Eddie understands what Miles is going through. Talking won't help. He uses Jury Weapons and Cap's Shield as a conductor and electro-shocks the symbiote off of Miles
- Miles tells Eddie that Carnage gets stronger with every Codex he absorbs. If Carnage gets Venom, he'll be unstoppable
- Unfortunately after Miles told Eddie this, Carnage absorbed Venom from the Hulk. Carnage mutates even more. (Venom parts of the symbiote grows antlers and wings)
- Captain America shows up. Thanks Brock and tells him they'll take it from here. Cap, Wolverine, and The Thing begin fighting Grendal Carnage
- Norman Carnage fights Spider-Man, Grendal Carnage defeats the trio
- Miles tells Eddie the Maker lied to him. The machine he built extracts codices but it doesn't destroy them, it collects them.
- Carnage says he's going to awaken a god. Eddie absorbs all the codices (symbiotes and skills) stored in the machine (Captain America's, Wolvie's, Thing's, Hawkeye's, etc) and becomes a powerful new Winged Venom
- Issue ends with aerial chase Grendal Varnage pursued by Venom
Pros:
- Insane fights
- Eddie's Characterization. He may not have plan, but he's got courage.
- Eddie/Peter Interaction
- The crazy twists
- The ending. Its like Eddie found Airwolf! Pumped for the final Venom vs Carnage Confrontation
Cons:
- No mention or appearance of Sleeper after the preview
- Ending pretty much confirms he'll be alone once the event is done.
