Absolute Carnage: Separation Anxiety #1

"You’re not ready for the mindhump that is this comic. Brian Level's art will give you nightmares. I can’t believe Marvel let us get away with this." -- Clay McLeod Chapman

At the end of Deadpool vs. Carnage a group of Life Foundation symbiotes were bonded with a German Shepherd. At the beginning of this issue a young girl takes in the dog only for the symbiotes to escape from the animal and bond with her parents.

Ugh, I don't know.

There are aspects to this story that feel like they have the potential to be creepy. And I definitely like the unsettling vibe of the symbiotes playing family at the dinner table, even if it feels like a rip-off of horror films that have done something similar in the past (heck, Resident Evil 7 did that too).

Really, I think the main detriment is the artwork. It's certainly not bad, but I don't think it fits the tone of the comic.

To borrow a reaction from another poster:

"Meh."

I kinda like it. Going for a slightly more intimate horror angle and making something of the four lesser Life Foundation symbiotes constant association by position them as a monster family is cool.

So, Marvel, does dripping slime sell comics?
