Product Description:
What's worse than one mayhem-producing symbiote? Two. What's worse than that? Three. That's right: Venom's offspring, Carnage, is about to have a baby itself - a creature of indescribable power and appetites. Question is, who's gonna bring up baby? Quick - someone call Spider-Man! Guest-starring Black Cat!

This comic introduces Toxin into the comic world as how he came around and who the father is of the symbiote. Very good reading! If you are a fan of the villans in Spider-Man you will love this book.

This book is all right, but not spectacular. There were just too many goofy continuity errors for me to really be able to enjoy it. The biggest error would be Black Cat not knowing who Carnage was; she was one of the major players in the maximum carnage saga. I don't know how an author could reasonably write a carnage/venom story and not have at least looked at Carnage's biggest story arc.
Also, the whole Carnage having a spawn, and Venom's reaction to it seem kind of off. I mean, Kassady's Carnage manifestation isn't really a symbiote; it's just a part of him, so there's no "we" when he talks. His actual symboiote was destroyed in the very first carnage storyline, so I am surprised he would be even be able to spawn, let alone against his wishes.
Overall, bad-story, but nice art.

I have read this Graphic Novel and it was the most amazing graphic novel i have ever read. The story was amazing, the artwork was amazing the whole thing is amazing. so if you are even considering to get this book GET it now. Also if you want to know more about the relationship of carnage and venom buy it. if you know nothing at all about the symbiotes you may get confused but even if that is the case it is still amazing.

Spider-Man: Venom vs Carnage looks fantastic. Venom and Carnage must be a thrill (and a pain) to draw, and they've never looked scarier than they do in this paperback. When I very first opened the book, I wasn't sure if I was going to like the style, but it grows on you pretty immediately, and these are the perfect characters for the style. Spider-Man himself looked, well, ok, but the symbiotes looked amazingly cool, just monstrously terrifying, and that in itself is worth a browse.
However, the writing does not live up to this review at all. Pat Mulligan, AKA Toxin, the new host, is written reacting the way I think most normal people would react in such a horrifying position, and I give Milligan kudos for that. Unfortunately, it seems that Milligan wrote this without very first checking older issues of Spider-Man, because there's all sorts of things that are out-of-continuity. First of all, the Black Cat doesn't recognize Venom or Carnage, despite the fact that they've met numerous times, most famously during Maxmimum Carnage. Second, Spider-Man's spider-sense, which is supposed to warn him of immediate personal danger, and cannot sense the symbiotes, somehow detects the symbiotes fighting each other from across town. While Venom warns Carnage that giving "birth" will be an exhausting and painful process, you have to wonder why Venom didn't seem to be aware that he had birthed the "seed" that eventually became Carnage.
At any rate, it's a fun little read, but if you're really familiar with the history of the various characters, you may get hung up on the various inconsistencies throughout.

It was definately an interesting book but it had some major flaws. As a stand alone book it is worth reading but the art varies from good to unbearable pretty quick.
This is seen with how huge venom appears which just becomes rediculous. Another problem concerns continuity. What I refer to is The Black Cat not recognizing either venom or Carnage. Anyone who has followed spiderman comics knows that the grey cat helped spiderman in the crossover series Maximum Carnage which dealt with both carnage and venom. For her not to know these two is very unlikely.
That is the one thing that really bothered me because it made me feel that the author didn't do research on the characters at all but instead decided to ignore previous histories that these characters had. The whole deal with the birth seemed a bit far-fethced as well. When venom created carnage it was a spur of the moment event that didn't show him to bin in any pain. But carnage acts as if it is a painful experience. That might be nit picking but it seems like it is a bit misjointed when looked at if you remember carnage's origin.
other than these major flaws the story was entertaining and one does want to continue to read the book to find out what happens.
