Maximum Carnage may have been 6 issues too long, but otherwise the likes of Wonderful Life, Mind Bomb, Web of Carnage,Ultimate Carnage, Family Feud, U.S.A, Minimum Carnage, AXIS Carnage and Conway's Carnage are all solid stories. Even VS Deadpool wasn't that bad.
Venom, for all his popularity, should have a reading list to back him up, but being THE 90s character meant he got misused, watered down, written by hacks and given zero respect for the vast majority of his existence. Agent Venom is the only really solid run the character has under his belt. Exile Returns is also solid but pretty short. I'm really not enjoying what Cates is doing with either character at the moment. But give me the choice and i'd much rather pick up one of Carnage's old comics than rummage through Venom's murky comic history.
