General: So does anyone have any questions?

Reporter: (Raises hand) Is this a joke?

General: No it's not a joke

Anyone else

Reporter: (Raises hand) Ben Urich, Daily Bugle: no seriously...is this a joke?

General: NO

And no more questions about whether this is a joke or not

Reporters: (All lower their hands)

Why was this not called 'You Are Carnage' on the cover, to give people a little info on what to expect inside?

Because this is an anthology series. 'You Are Carnage' is one of three stories in just this issue.

I like the Choose Your Own Adventure format to it :)

This is a strong showing, I'd written off the series, expecting it to just be a bunch of "Carnage murders people" vignettes.

Honestly, given the success of Agent Venom (even now it's worth remembering that it was probably the first 616 book to have the symbiote be a sympathetic character in its own right) I've always been surprised that Marvel hasn't taken a run at "Agent Carnage" before now, even if this isn't the most serious take on it.
