Marvel Ups the Blood-and-Insanity Ante With Deadpool vs. Carnage

The first time readers met Cletus Kasady, he was a convicted serial killer with a mean-on for his cellmate, Eddie Brock (the original Venom). It wasn't long before Kasady established himself as one of the Marvel Universe's most dangerous and unstable supervillains--Carnage, who recently had his own miniseries as part of Marvel's push to rebrand many of the Spider-Man characters as "Superior." Now, he's back in a new event--Deadpool vs. Carnage--which sees two of Marvel's most bizarre, violent and insane minds facing off. Due in April, the one-shot will hit from from writer Cullen Bunn and artist Salva Espin.

With Carnage on the warpath and killing seemingly at random, the authorities decide to stop a madman by bringing in another madman. "Cullen has been delivering some awesome Deadpool action with Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, …Killustrated, …Kills Deadpool, and now Night of the Living Deadpool, we knew he was just the man to give us the ultimate showdown of Marvel psychos, said Editor Jordan D. White. "And I would be hard-pressed to find an artist who loves drawing 'Pool more than Salva does! He brings so much joy and energy to every page. We knew these boys were good at depicting lowercase 'c' carnage…but wait till you see them tackle capital 'C' Carnage!" "This is definitely a tale of hot pursuit, so we see Deadpool and Carnage squaring off against each other in a variety of locales," said writer Cullen Bunn. "They're on similar wavelengths of crazy. In a sense, Deadpool is the only person capable of taking Carnage down." You can check out some preview pages and solicitation information below.
