In the current issue of Scream #1 Curse of Carnage, we meet back up with Andi, who is still on the run, homeless and roaming the streets. She ends up at F.E.A.ST, where she meets a couple of familiar characters (one of them is a first appearance), and she almost gets shanked. Also there is an interesting cameo appearance of some type sea creature that seems to have properties similar to Venom and Knull, that I was previously unaware of.
The strength of this issue lays in the depiction of the sea creatures. There are some really good panels there and Chris Mooneyham, does a good job at using the panels to help build the suspense. There are some consistency issues; however, with the depiction of Scream. She is supposed to have black hair now, but often the panels just showed her with Orange and yellow hair.
Final Verdict: Overall there were some good elements in here that I eventually wanted to see, but not t right now. A lot of the stuff felt kinda crammed in, which resulted in a very difficult to detect narrative story structure, but I will allow it due to the fact that I can see what it is trying to set up. All that to say that this is a must pick-up.  If you are a collector or speculator, you almost have to pick this up due to the impending events hinted at in this issue.
Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 will come in several covers: Cover A Regular Jim Cheung Cover (1:1); Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 Cover B Variant Stanley Artgerm Lau Cover (1:1); Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 Cover C Variant Skottie Young Cover (1:1); Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 Cover D Incentive Nick Sullo Variant Cover (1:25); Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 Cover E Incentive Nick Bradshaw Variant Cover (1:50). Ultimately the Cover B Variant Stanley Artgerm Lau, is my favorite, and the one I will be looking to pick up on Wednesday.
