In our newsroom, I had this article listed as just “Marvel Carnage,” and I suspect that led other writers to avoid it — what drama could it possibly be now? But in fact, this is the good kind of Carnage — the playable kind.
“Carnage is coming to PC soon,” the Marvel Heroes team has announced. “Pre-order him today, and get 10% off his Hero Pack! His Hero Pack includes both his first costumes (Carnage Classic [Default Costume] and Carnage Spider-Carnage (ENHANCED) at a discount!”
“Homicidal maniac Cletus Kasady was serving out his life sentence in prison when a new cellmate moved in, Eddie Brock aka Venom. In the midst of a jailbreak, the Venom symbiote spawned an offspring that bonded to Cletus, creating a symbiote that was stronger and deadlier than either Spider-Man or Venom. Known for cutting brutal and bloody swaths throughout the country he has more than earned the name: Carnage! Inverted by the events of Axis, Carnage appears to be acting heroic… kind of. Still prone to his violent tendencies, Carnage now fights on the side of the heroes, hacking up any bad guys who cross his path.”
Maybe that’ll take the sting out of the rebrand that came with no associated update?
