![]() ![]() It’s written by Gerry Duggan, with art by Matteo Loli, Jacopo Camagni and more. This is a five-issue limited series but only goes to issue #4. And it ends on a sweet, nice moment with a dog. But, there are also cameos from Dogpool, Pandapool and more. This is a twisted and violent story, as I’m sure you’d imagine, but I just want to stress that a bit more. It turns out Carnage is going after four symbiotes, trying to destroy them – which you know means Deadpool will get himself some symbiote action. One of my favorite moments in the story is in the second issue when Deadpool uses destructive sonic power against Carnage in the form of dubstep. We get to see Shriek, Carnage’s sometimes gal pal, who many ‘90s fans will specifically remember from the “Maximum Carnage” crossover. Deadpool sees weird signs and thinks he’s the only one who can stop Cletus Kasady. ![]() Carnage is on the loose and goes on a killing spree.

The mysteries surrounding Drood form the heart of an epic narrative encompassing ancient religious practices, subterranean cities, hallucinatory visions, madness, murder, and the limitless power of the creative imagination. The story concerns an otherworldly figure who calls himself “Drood,” and who moves through the wreckage like a pale, unholy apparition. He tells it, with typical Dickensian brio, to his friend and occasional collaborator, Wilkie Collins, the narrator of this magisterial novel.
