A new Hulk comic book series will kick off once Ewing's run on the series ends, and so far it looks smashing. Venom writer Donny Cates will hand Marvel's favourite symbiote over to Ewing and Swamp Thing writer Ram V, who'll be spinning new tales alongside artist Bryan Hitch. Cates will be joined by Invincible and Amazing Spider-Man artist Ryan Ottley, who definitely knows a thing or two about big dudes using their fists in the most destructive manner possible.

After years in the wilderness, Carnage is back and deadlier than ever in a series which has redefined his evil as absolute. Everyone is a target, the world isn’t ready for the red horde that is growing and we’re only a mere three issues in to the horror event of the year that is Absolute Carnage.

How did Marvel Comics writer Donny Cates and artist Geoff Shaw dream up a cackling concoction of badass design that would become the Cosmic Ghost Rider? It wasn't that difficult actually.

We came, we saw and we cosplayed. Here's what the Critical Hit gang thinks of this year's Comic Con Africa.

Absolute Carnage is name of the event, maximum chaos is the goal and not even an entire Spider-verse of heroes may be capable of stopping Carnage as he embarks on his latest rampage that’ll probably feature enough oozing tentacle action to count as a hentai festival. While the core series will be written by Donny Cates and visualised by Ryan Stegman’s metal artwork, the first issue alone is going to have a ton of amazing comic book covers attached to it.

This year’s big marvel event sees none other than Cletus Kasady on a rampage, as the most lethal symbiote to ever exist is on a mission in Absolute Carnage. A story years in the making, Absolute Carnage will fold out across four issues written by Donny Cates and drawn by Ryan Stegman. This being comic books, there’s so much more to the tale than just a mere quartet of comic books. So where does one even begin? Right here with this handy dandy primer!

Later this year, the real Carnage is back and he won’t be satisfied with just a mere Maximum extension of his brand of anarchy. This time, Carnage is going for an absolute victory.

A cruel cannibal obsessed with death and murder, few mourned Cletus Kasady after he seemingly died in VENOMIZED. But now a cult devoted to the madman has gathered, hoping to resurrect their fallen idol and return his madness to the Marvel Universe...
