Really liked this one, and even though I prefer Crain's artwork strictly for covers only. Because it's not suited well for interior art in general (in my opinion) here, he's making that exception and the artwork looks awesome inside too. Fun story of Carnage taking hostage a town and Spidey with a team is going to confront him about it! Lots of things happen and even though it gets a bit tedious with all the symbiotes around towards the end, I still liked it.

Great artwork and an interesting story. The focus does seem to be more on the art than the story, though, which detracts somewhat. Carnage is drawn as a super-buff character rather than his scrawny-self, but still, good stuff.Introduces several new symbiotes (Riot, Lasher, etc), and Agent Venom makes an appearance as well.All around, interesting story that has later repercussions (in Absolute Carnage).

Like Carnage: Family Feud, Carnage USA is a bit of a sleeper. Great artwork, but not much depth here. Carnage also doesn't produce much carnage here either. One would expect a serial killer to kill more people, but yeah, that just doesn't happen in this more happy go lucky graphic novel that had the potential to be dark, but instead, was just boring.

This was a fun read!Carnage has taken the town of Doverton hostage and well he targets everyone and transforms the entire populace to carnage parts and well Avengers on the scene but most of them under his control except his mortal enemy: Spider-man! He teams up with townspeople to knock down this monstrosity and then also comes Scorn and other military symbiotes and in one final push they fight the biggest battle vs Carnage and will they be able to rescue the people of the town but at what cost...

So this deep into a catch up on all things Carnage (since the zany 90’s, yo), somehow I still missed the debuts of at least two of the symbiotes that the US government have ready to bring down Carnage in his campaign to take over some shitstain Colorado town...wait, so there’s Venom, Toxin (who I just learned about in Venom vs Carnage), Hybrid?, Scorn (I maybe saw her a few trades back) and Anti-Venom (I could swear I saw in Slott’s ASM run but I am now officially lost, so this one counts as new...

Some very cool characters are brought in, all centered on the symbiote theme. Cletus' mania is more obvious in this story whee he doesn't shy away from killing women and children. His plan for world domination will have to account for superheroes who will risk their lives to stop him.Cletus resurfaces in a small Colorado town where he worked to regain his strength by killing and enslaving the locals. He demands that a sovereign state be instituted with him as leader. The Avengers try to stop him...

3.5*Although Wells and Crain, again, didn't use all the pieces they put on the table, "Carnage, USA" is way better than "Family Feud". Maybe it's because I prefer small-town horror to immoral experiments in a secret lab. But it's probably due to the focus on action rather than underdeveloped characters.

First carnage story I have ever read, and I'm hooked. Awesome artwork, and it was fun seeing the many symbiots from Venom, and plus the Flash Thompson Venom was a big surprise.

This is great,great art and not meaning less fights like in maximum carnage.The whle USA theme blends so well and the fact that if symbiotes existed the US army surely used it to create super soldiers wh play a good role here.The Carnage posters are amazing,Carnage looks as deadlier as it gets.

Serial killer Cletus Kasady is the host of the evil symbiote Carnage and together the two set up shop in a small mid-western American town and wreak havoc. Enter Spidey and the Avengers! “Carnage USA” had a lot of good moments. Zeb Wells is a former writer of the animated comedy TV series “Robot Chicken” and it shows in the early scenes where he has Hawkeye become very tired of the Thing’s catchphrases. Thing: “It’s clobberin’ time!” Hawkeye (rubbing temples, sotto voce): “Of course it is...”. M...

3.75 stars. This was pretty dope. Carnage has popped back up and has to decided to take over this entire small town. A small group of Avengers is sent to the area. Things go from bad to worse as the team is over run and taken over by Carnage. Only Spider-Man escapes. This gives him time to regroup and for the military to send their back up plan. This was a very fast pace quick read which is really it’s only downfall. Clayton Crains art perfectly fits this dark tale and I wish this could have bee...

Carnage U.S.A. was mildly okay. Oh, and it made me realize that I have no idea how something became my favorite. If you don’t know Carnage, he’s what happens when a serial killer, Cletus Kasady, gets ahold of the symbiotes (um, goopy parasites?) that made Spiderman. In Carnage U.S.A. the titular character is not really all about that as he goes and sits around a small Colorado town until Spiderman and the Avengers show up. After Carnage takes the entire town over, more superheroes show up, and b...

I was disappointed.These are the same people that brought us Carnage: Family Feud, which I absolutely adored.So, what went wrong here? Simply put: uninspired, boring story.Carnage takes over a town. Does fucked up shit. The avengers show up. He beats them. Some symbiote soldiers including Agent Venom and Scorn show up. They save the day. Spider-Man teaches a valuable lesson about not killing people. The end.Just... boring.And ya know what? It really hurts to give this a three based on story, bec...

So what happens when Carnage takes over a small town in Colorado? The Carnage Symbiote takes over the Avengers (including Cap) and a small zoo, nothing like a Giraffe symbiote. While this is one of the Darker of marvel comics, it's hard not to be dark when writing a story that revolves around a serial killer bonded with an alien symbiote.

What is up with enjoying all these Carnage stories as of late? First Axis and now U.S.A.? Maybe I should read more. This little town is quickly taken over by Carnage. Cassidy is a piece of shit seriel killer and he has no problem using people as his weapons. A team is sent to take him in including Spider-man, The Thing, Cap, and Hawkeye. Sadly that doesn't work out too well and Carnage soon has control of most of our heroes. The story plays out like a horror thriller in a lot of ways and I guess...

If I am being honest then I will admit that when it comes to the Spider-Man universe I am completely oblivious. I know who is Spiderman thanks to the films and cartoon shows I grew up watching as a child but now that they are making a Venom film with Tom Hardy (epic Man-Candy) I want to broaden my knowledge of Peter Parker's world especially in reference to Venom and the other symbiotes. Even a newbie like me was thoroughly entertained by this graphic novel and definitely check out Sam Quixo...

3.5 stars. This was an interesting read! Catching up on Carnage stuff has made me realize that this is the first time that I’ve gotten the chance to really dive into the insanity that is Kasady. It was truly interesting and intense watching him takeover an entire town and then control every single individual. It’s definitely not related, but it reminded me of Wanda’s takeover of the town in WandaVision but this was definitely more brutal. The fight scene between Venom and Carnage was interesting...

This was a pretty good story that involved Carnage, probably one of the best. It definently brought out Carnage's insanity to a new level, and made him seem more threatening than he has been in all of his appearences, except for Minimum Carnage.It also helped bring in some symbiotes that haven't been seen in a while. All in all, if you're a fan of symbiotes, give this book a read.

First off, Clayton Crain's Carnage is the height of creepiness! He has an amazing way of illustrating Cletus Kasady's perverted insanity. The story here amps up most normal Carnage tales and his powers are much stronger than I remember but the author, Zeb Wells, evens it out with a lot of forces out to stop Carnage. His dialogue is funny and scary at times. Overall, the book is intense and dark but a very good read.

I was interested in finding out a bit more about Carnage and oh boy was I disappointed in this series. Perhaps I chose the wrong one.The story started well but in the end was disappointing. I found myself rushing through as it went on. A few touches of darkness and the illustrations kept this from being a 1 star.
