The Spiral is closing in, but Peter got Carnage. Just no.

[White Sabbath · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a terrifying cliffhanger!

[Craig Schorling · Rating 4 out of 5]

Death Spiral is nearing its conclusion and this was a chaotic issue with non-stop action. I love seeing Carnage being too much for anyone to deal with. That ending is sweet too!

"Carnage. Enough. I get it."
