Terrific Hobgoblin story. Not a fan of Carnage.
The Carnage half of the book is hilarious. I did not care for this version of Hobgoblin though.
Axis: Carnage & HobgoblinLike this book. More Carnage than Hobgoblin, but still a enjoyable book. On to the next chapter of this series.
The Carnage story is pretty awful. I didn't care for it at all. It introduces a new Sin Eater, but not one that adds anything new as this one is basically some version of Ghost Rider.The Hobgoblin story though is great. Hobgoblin has turned good, but still managed to make money off of it. I like the Hobgoblin as a super hero version of a TV pitchman. It's kind of clever and quite funny.
A compilation of two entertaining miniseries derived from Spidey villains, set in the margins of abysmal personality-swap crossover Axis. The Carnage story sees the symbiote-enhanced redneck serial killer try to be good, yet somehow unable to quit with the destruction and mutilation; it's funny, but hampered by following close behind Superior Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider, which similarly riffed on the schmuck Parker by having formerly villainous derivative characters try to follow his lead. The...
Takie dwie i pół gwiazdki.Pewnie jako jednemu z niewielu bardziej podobała mi się pierwsza historia, gdzie Carnage stał się Spider-Manem i jego relacje z dziennikarką. A Hobgoblin i rodzina goblinów, cóż... problemem była słaba znajomość postaci, które przez komiks się przewinęły.
Axis to kolejny event Marvela, który oprócz pewnych zmian fabularnych istotnych dla całego uniwersum Ziemi 616 wprowadza cały szereg pomniejszych tytułów, które jakoś tam korelują z tym, co zadziało się ze złoczyńcami i bohaterami podczas wspomnianego wydarzenia. Ten tie-in daje nam szansę spojrzeć na losy dwóch sztandarowych przeciwników Spider-mana: Carnage'a i Hobgoblina.Także Carnage pragnie być teraz równie dobry, jak Spider-man, choć wychodzi mu to różnorako, a dawny, oryginalny Hobgoblin,...
The basic gist of the suck-y Marvel Axis crossover event was ex-Nazi The Red Skull ate Professor Xavier’s brain, with a side of schnitzel and washed it down with a hefty mug of Pilsner, gaining Charles Xavier’s immense power as a result. There’s a showdown (yawn) between the forces of good and evil and the natures of the combatants are reversed because of some crazy voodoo sh*t done by Dr. Strange and that creepy, trouble-making vixen, The Scarlet Witch.Now the good guys are “bad” and the evil g...
4 for the carnage arch, 2 for the hobgoblin one.
This is my first Marvel Axis series and I really enjoyed it. Who would've thought villains trying to be heroes can be so entertaining in a lot of ways
Carnage ya can't go wrong but the first half is goblin and its crap, so half a decent comic half the star rating. 😕
The Hobgoblin and Carnage tries to be good heroes in the aftermath of AXIS
The Hobgoblin story was decent, got a few chuckles, but mostly felt like a drag to finish at the end. On the flipside the Carnage story was a blast. Over the top? Silly? Yes and yes. However, it was a fucking blast to read through and I was laughing throughout. Especially his first "save" made me laugh hard. The bank as well. So overall for some great laughs check out the Carnage story! 4 for Carnage, 2 for Hobgoblin.
The Carnage story is amped up violence and action.The Hobgoblin story is fantastic satire on infomercials and commericialism.So I split the difference.
It is a really good story like you get to see what if Carnage was a good guy ish and what would hobgoblin do if he was a hero sort of
SO: A brief summary of the context in which this takes place. AXIS was, in short, an event where a bunch of people's brains got screwy and a bunch of people's morals got switched. Like I read Mighty Avengers awhile back and as part of that event Luke Cage basically became an exaggerated version of a capitalist, etc etc. In regards to the issues compiled here, Carnage gets mind swapped into wanting to be a good guy instead of an insane psycho murderer he's been his entire life, while the Hobgobli...
So, yeah...AXIS was not great but this was worse. Carnage and Hobgoblin are both portrayed differently, and I don't mean just the effects of AXIS. Both stories had a decent comedic element to it but neither story mattered in any way. The art was good in both books. Overall, this collection was something I can't imagine a ton of people wanted.
These two companion pieces to the Axis event are both rather different, while also being a bit different from how the characters seemed in the event, itself. Both are sort of fish out of water stories, where two villains suddenly have the urge to be heroes, and to do good, but without everything about them having changed.The Carnage story finds him trying to be a hero, but not quite escaping from the fact that he is a sociopath who doesn't see an issue with killing people who irritate him. He tr...
The Carnage story is so good, so fun. It is like Deadpool, but better. Way better.The Hobgoblin one, on the other hand is long and boring
this was a rather fun read
