Holy crap that's perfect, an old-timey reporter complete with hat, press-card and flashbulb, and a guy with a smartphone right behind him.

The best part is that there's no context for him. That's the first and only time that guy appears in the issue. Pretty much the entire issue could show up in this thread because of that and stuff like the room that goes "boop boop" and how Medusa fights Mole Man's monster in a nightie.

What we do is invent our images. And we build them.
May I make a request for the Spider-man and (I believe) Hawkguy sequence where the latter is complaining about Ben Grimm's constant use of catchphrases and talking about Yancy Street? There's a great payoff a couple of pages later where the Thing starts a story with "Back on Yancy Street..." and Spidey just resignedly shushes him.

In return, a classic piece of insanity from the DC Super Dictionary:

Yep, I've still got those sitting in my images folder! Along with this "Avengers dicking around" scene:



Anyway, action time, Carnage is attacking, Cap wants to leave, Spidey points out that they should get a sonic cannon from the FF to fight symbiotes.



Then of course, a page or two later...

I'm so disappointed that Minimum Carnage was such a letdown after Carnage and Carnage USA were so good.

I find the Super Dictionary kinda starts to make sense if you read it as an Elseworlds where all the "heroes" are petty dicks who just go around trolling the hell out of everyone.

Does Spidey not remember that Carnage is immune to sonics? I see to remember that as a plot point in Maximum Carnage. That's why they needed Firestar to help take him down.

You might be right, but Maximum Carnage is a bad story and Carnage USA is a good story so just roll with it.

You're misremembering. Symbiotes are weak to fire and sonics, and Carnage is no exception. Spidey goes and gets the sonic gun from the FF, they only get Firestar as well to hedge their bets.

I think there's a mention that Carnage seems to react a bit more to fire and a bit less to sonics than Venom but it still works on him.

If memory serves they decided that since the female body can handle extreme g forces better than a man's it would translate over to the size changing process.
