Someday we will see a stand-alone Deadpool movie. Until then, we will have to content ourselves with his occasional cameos in other character’s movies as well as his appearances in comics. Fortunately, he’s in comics quite often.
Case in point is the upcoming limited series Deadpool vs. Carnage. Here’s the scoop directly from Marvel:
Carnage is on the warpath – moving across the country, butchering as he goes! The authorities are powerless. So how do you stop a psycho? Bring in another psycho! And you can bet this one is gonna be bloody! Don’t miss one minute of the blood-soaked chaos this April as the Merc with a Mouth tussles with the Symbiote Serial Killer in DEADPOOL VS. CARNAGE #1!
Look for Deadpool vs. Carnage #1, written by Cullen Bunn with art by Salva Espin, to hit stores on April 4. Check out some preview pages after the break.

Many times when previews arrive for upcoming comics we will take a few moments and talk about them and how cool they seems. This time around, however, we’re going to let the preview artwork for Marvel’s upcoming Carnage speak for itself — mostly. Besides, we didn’t do that with the trailer from earlier today so really, why start now?
Even though the artwork is pretty impressive, we do want to provide a bit of the story, just to help set things up. Here’s the scoop on the comic, which is written by Zeb Wells with art by Clayton Crain, directly from Marvel:
Leaving a wake of bloodshed, no one is safe from Carnage’s lunacy – even the Avengers! Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man and more of Earth’s Mightiest must go on a brutal hunt to capture Cletus Kasady before the American heartland falls under his mass-murdering spell.
Sounds good, right? Ok, let’s get to the images.
Check them out after the break. Look for Carnage #1 to arrive on December 7th.

Roman Polanski may get some heat for personal things going on, but that isn’t stopping the man from cranking out some quality films in the immediate future. The first of which is Carnage based on the play God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza. Here’s the premise.
A showdown between two kids: about eleven, in a local playground. Swollen lips, broken teeth… Now the parents of the “victim” have invited the parents of the “bully” to their apartment to sort if out. Cordial banter gradually develops a razor-sharp edge as all four parents reveal their laughable contradictions and grotesque prejudices. None of them will escape the ensuing carnage.
A plot like this, with such thick character development, could only get justice from a director like Polanski. The play has starred such great actors as Jeff Daniels and James Gandolfini, but the film will bring names like Jodie Foster, Kate Winsley, John C. Reilly, and Christoph Waltz together to discuss this battle.
Check out the trailer for Carnage after th jump and see it in theaters later this year.

Now that we are aware that Carnage, Cable, and Psylocke are all apart of the downloadable character pack for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and we know the cost and release date, here’s a brand new character to add to that list. Welcome Black Panther, King of the Wakanda Jungle, to the game as a playable character.
Panther is 4 of the 5 alleged add-ons proposed for the game (not including Juggernaut), and will be an interesting addition to the game’s dynamic, especially fighting alongside his in-comic wife, Storm. Magneto is rumored to be the final member to be added to the game, but we’re still waiting for confirmation on that.
Along with the launch video for Black Panther, you can also check out the first images of the alternate costumes for Psylocke, Carnage, and Cable. They are all pretty straightforward, with Cable’s “modern-day” look being the coolest.
Check out all of the images and the launch video after the jump.

After a few weeks of drooling, the developers of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 have finally given us a release date and price of their newest dowloadable character pack, including Psylocke, Carnage, Cable, Black Panther, and Magneto. The good news is that Xbox Live owners will get the pack this Thursday (November 5th), and the bad news is that gamers on the PlayStation Network have to wait until next week.
Though they haven’t announced yet that Magneto has been added to the pack, it was leaked a few weeks back when Psylocke and Carnage were first announced. The announcement for Black Panther came on Tuesday, and the alternate costumes for Cable, Psylocke and Carnage were released earlier this week as well.
Fans who worried about the price have nothing to stress about anymore, as the price has been announced as 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99 normally). This was the same price as the Hero and Villain Pack for the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance game back in 2007.
That price includes all five characters, new boosts, and brand-new simulator missions. Also available on that date, for the first time, is the Juggernaut downloadable character, which has only been available to fans who pre-ordered the game until now. You can also purchase Juggernaut for 160 Microsoft Points, or $1.99.

Last week, we got word of the first new downloadable characters for the sequel to Marvel Ultimate Alliance in X-Men’s Psylocke and Spider-Man’s Carnage. After that, in one of the promo screen shots for the character, we got a glimpse at a few of the other characters soon to be announced, including Magneto, Black Panther, and Cable.
It looks like that may have jumped the boat, as the developers announced this weekend that Cable is indeed the next downloadable character for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. There’s a new trailer for the character after the jump, which you can check out, and there isn’t a whole plethora of information on when the content will be hitting our consoles and for how much.
No word yet on Magneto and Black Panther, but seeing as how it only took a week to announce 3 new characters, don’t expect to have to wait very long to play the Ukanda King and Master of Magnetism. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is now available on all next gen systems.

Fans of the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance will remember the addition of a Heroes Pack and Villains Pack of downloadable content that added eight new characters to the game’s already extensive list of playable Marvel icons. This year’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 looks like it won’t be a slouch either with the announcement of two downloadable characters that will be coming to a DLC pack for the game before year’s end.
The X-Men boost their ranks during the Civil War storyline with the addition of Psylocke. Though like some of the X-Men characters like Jean Grey and Gambit featured in the game as she wasn’t around during the actual Civil War story, this psychic ninja comes ready with her acrobatics and psi-blades ready to fight.
Spider-Man fans will be thrilled to see that the Mac Gargan version (or Ultimate version if you check the alternate costume) of Venom won’t be the only symbiotic presence in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 as lunatic serial killer Cletus Cassidy joins the roster as Carnage.
