Marvel teased this event at Wondercon earlier this year but has kept pretty damn quiet about it up until yesterdays The Amazing Spider-Man panel at Comic-Con. This upcoming event will kick off with Minimum Carnage: Alpha this October and then run through Venom and Scarlet Spider. The story will see Carnage escape into the Micro-verse, as the two heroes pursue him. Cullen Bunn and Chris Yost will handle writing duties in the prologue before the story moves into the two titles.

“Carnage is the worst case scenario for both Venom and Scarlet Spider,” Bunn said. “For Kane, it’s all about how terrible a killer can be. And for Venom, it’s how terrible a symbiote can be. This is a situation for various reasons that only Venom and Scarlet Spider can deal with Carnage…it isn’t a thing where Peter Parker can swing in and save them.”

If you haven’t been reading Venom or Scarlet Spider you should be. These are both awesome titles and I am really looking forward to see where they go with this crossover event.

‘Arkham Asylum’ and ‘Arkham City’ are games praised by both video game and comic fans alike and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ definitely seems to have taken some ideas from it. And I am saying this in a completely positive way. I’ve been posting numerous updates about this game over the past few weeks and this new developers diary focuses on the stealth and combat in the game and it looks great. It definitely looks like we will be getting quite a few different styles of gameplay throughout the game.

It also appears a new skin for Spidey has been added to the game and if you know my love of this character you will know that I was pretty psyched seeing this…
