Maximum Carnage: Difference between revisions

When homicidal supervillain Carnage escapes from incarceration and gathers a cadre of similarly murderous superpowered followers, the motley crew go on rampage through New York City, slaughtering countless innocent civilians and sparking mass rioting and mob violence. Spider-Man teams up with a voluminous number of guest stars (including one-time foe Venom) to stem the tide of violence and recapture Carnage.

 

 

The event was poorly received and in hindsight marked the beginning of a [[Dork Age|downward spiral]] in quality in the Spider-Man books over the next several years. In fact, the whole thing might have faded into obscurity if it hadn't been unexpectedly adapted into a surprisingly popular beat 'em up game for the [[Sega Genesis]] and [[Super NES]], Which was published by [[LJN Toys]]. The game allowed players to control either Spider-Man of Venom, and featured the rest of the hero cast as summonable power-ups. A surprising amount of attention was paid to accurately recreating the comic, including levels modeled after scenes from individual issues, and villains' vulnerabilities or resistances to certain attacks.
