With rumors floating around the Internet today that Jim Carrey might be set to play Cletus Kasady, the serial killer who would eventually be come to known as Carnage, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we figured it was a good time to pull out our interview with Superior Carnage writer Kevin Shinick, which we had previously been holding onto until the next issue ran.Shinick joined ComicBook.com at San Diego Comic Con International to talk about his battery of projects–from MAD, the TV series for which he won an Emmy in 2010, and Robot Chicken (he worked on both of the DC Comics Specials) to his work in comics, where he’s writing Superior Carnage. He also discussed contributing to DC Comics’s Necessarily Evil documentary, which explores the company’s villains, and shared some cool details about how he first got into comics.ComicBook.com: You don’t do anything halfway, huh? The last time we talked, which was less than a year ago, you were just kind of wading into comics and now you’re all over.Kevin Shinick: It seems to be, doesn’t it? Last year it seemed like it was just a scheduling thing; I worked on a bunch of things over the year and then in September they all hit. But from that point on, it has been consistently busy. I’m not knocking it because I’m the one who brought it on. You know, I wanted it, I opened those doors and now the floodgates are just broken.
