The murderous symbiote serial killer was first introduced in 1992 and has been making carnage ever since…

Something a little different today- a certain symbiote is about to turn 30 next year and it has been announced he will finally be receiving his very own one-shot, which will turn into an ongoing comic series.

Carnage from Marvel Comics, the adversary of Spider-Man and the archenemy of Venom, first made his appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #361 and has gone on to feature in several more comics, animated films and tv shows, video games, and most recently, the 2021 film Venom: Let There Be Carnage. 

Carnage Forever

Carnage Forever will be written by the current Superman writer, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, along with current Venom co-writer Ram V, and writer Ty Templeton, who will each write their own story in the one-shot. Templeton will also provide art, along with Edgar Salazar, and other artists that are still to be named.

Johnson promises the one-shot will give the readers a new take on the symbiote, with aesthetics still fueled by the horror film genre, but will be leaning more towards “almost Exorcist-like” rather than the typical “slasher film” type portrayals that Carnage receives.

 

Without spoiling it, we see him make an unexpected bond with a very unexpected kind of character, with all the grisly and horrifying consequences Carnage fans have come to expect. – Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Writer.

Now with Carnage Forever, I’m thrilled to have a chance to tell some absolutely twisted tales for the killer symbiote for this anniversary collection and perhaps seed some ideas for things to come! – Ram V, Writer.

The announcement also promises an ongoing comic series for Carnage, yet doesn’t give any more details on what to expect or what the title for the series will be.

Speaking of symbiotes, Venom has been confirmed to be the antagonist for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Carnage was also featured in Fortnite Season 8 to celebrate the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Carnage Forever is out on February 23 2022.

Official Ghostbusters Board Game

The iconic comic design is put in to board game form. How exciting!

Yesterday it was announced, by game developer Cryptozoic, that a crowd funded Ghostbusters board game is in the pipeline and is running now on Kickstarter. Huzzah! The game will feature “ghosts from the movies, cartoons, comics, and toylines.”

The Ghostbusters Kickstarter runs until 11th March 2015, but given the current funding amount, it looks like they’re on track to hit the $250,000 goal way before that. And why not?! Ghostbusters is awesome! Cryptozoic is keeping things simple with pledge levels – $80 (plus shipping) will get you the base game plus stretch goals. The $125 (plus shipping) level includes a custom box along with the base game, additional episodes, and some other backer-exclusives items. I think I know which one I’d go for… Exclusive items all the way!

Campaigns for the miniatures-focused game will take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the difficulty that has been selected. The game’s figures design comes from IDW Ghostbusters’ comics illustrator Dan Schoening. The board game is still an officially licensed project, so you will take on the oh so familiar roles of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore. You can fight those ghastly ghouls Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and ride around in the iconic Ecto-1. Nothing short of brilliant!

The game has been said to ship this October 2015, but Cryptozoic has given this forewarning – “Please keep in mind that this is a projected date. As an experienced board game company, we at Cryptozoic know that unexpected delays can occur during the production and shipping of a game. … In the highly unlikely event that we are not able to deliver the game for some unforeseeable, calamitous reason, we will refund all pledges.”

It seems that it’s not just an amazing year for video games, but for board games too.. And what could more could you want (hopefully) in time for Halloween?!

Batman: Arkham Knight

Writer Marv Wolfman is working on an official novelization of the upcoming game

Wolfman announced, via Facebook, that he’s venturing on a new project which is an official novelization of Rocksteady’s upcoming game, ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’, which is to be released later this year. 

The veteran comic book writer also added that he’s relieved to finally be able to talk about the project, which he kept a secret even from his dog…

“Well, I can finally tell folk what I’ve been working on these past months in total secrecy, even from my dog,” Wolfman has said. “I wrote the official novelization for Arkham Knight, based on the upcoming video game, and had a ball doing it.” “The story is highly emotional and I’m exceedingly happy with the results,” he added. “Both game and book come out in July. I’ll post the cover here once it’s official. Anyway, whew, it feels great finally being able to talk about it. My dog is happy, too. I no longer have to keep throwing her out of my office while I’m working.”

Looking at this above, you might have noticed that Wolfman mentioned the game being released in July this year, when it has been confirmed to be released in June. The game has not been delayed and is still scheduled for release in June this year, which has been confirmed by Warner Bros.

Wolfman didn’t provide any further details about his Arkham Knight novelization. The game takes place after the events of Arkham City, and tells the story of Batman facing off against Scarecrow and a mysterious enemy named the Arkham Knight.

If you’re an avid Batman fan (and not forgetting Scarecrow, of course!) then watch this space!
