Both of the characters embrace chaos and madness, although in very different ways -- and now that connection seems to be drawing them together.

I did not know that. The Carnage symbiote has its own character page as well, so may as well link that. Also, considering Cullen Bunn co-wrote Minimum Carnage, Self Deprecation might work.

* LaserGuidedBroadcast: Deadpool's prompted to hunt Carnage when rapidly channel hopping after news coverage of Carnage's latest massacre. The fragments of dialogue form a message hinting at how he can find Carnage. It crosses further into TheTelevisionTalksBack when Deadpool ask if he's really understood the message and the next snippet of dialogue confirms that he has.

Both of the characters are embrace chaos and madness, although in very different ways - and now that connection seems to be drawing them together.

Can Deadpool actually stop Carnage's killing spree? Or will it take more than wisecracks, guns and a HealingFactor to bring down a monster like Kasady?

!!''Deadpool vs. Carnage'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: As usual, Carnage uses his symbiote to form blades and spikes to impale anyone who annoys him.
** At the start of the first issue, a Kansas cop is unknowingly sitting next to Cletus in a diner, reading newspaper coverage of Carnage's killings. When he comments that someone just needs to kill the guy, Cletus responds by extruding a spiked tentacle from his face and skewering the cop's head.
* LaserGuidedBroadcast: Deadpool's prompted to hunt Carnage when rapidly channel hopping after news coverage of Carnage's latest massacre. The fragments of dialogue form a message hinting at how he can find Carnage. It crosses further into TheTelevisionTalksBack when Deadpool ask if he's really understood the message and the next snippet of dialogue confirms that he has.
* TheTelevisionTalksBack: In the first issue, Deadpool's watching TV coverage of Carnage's rampage and then starts rapidly channel hopping, getting what seems to be a LaserGuidedBroadcast of dialogue fragments, instructing him to find Carnage. When he queries whether it's ''really'' a message, the next snippet of dialogue seems to confirm that it is.

-->'''Game show host:''' ''[on television]'' ''Congratulations!'' You're right on the money.
* VersusTitle: It's ''Deadpool vs. Carnage'', and it lives up to the title. There's no EnemyMine alliance or common ground, just Deadpool doing his very best to halt Carnage's rampage.
