Why the heck does Carnage looks like a walking skeleton in the Comics adaptation of Spider-Man Unlmited?

Andy Kuhn is a talented artist, I'll give him that, but WHY ON EARTH Carnage's ribs are visible bones in his comic book version of the now dead Fox Kids' TV series? In the special Wizard 1/2 volume of Spider-Man Unlimited Carnage was depicted the same as he is on TV.


That's how it looked in the TV Show ^


Here is Kuhn's Marvel Comics' version of this Carnage ^

focused version.

In this format he's shown in the comics in, he basically can't do this:

I've tried to give "Ultimate Spider-Man" a chance in the last couple of days, but it's just ain't working... Something there feels dull like plastic. I'm done with it.

And to think that when I was in the 6th grade and surfed Marvel.com that was their "running hit". Boy, that felt horrible, even though the artists are skilled, the story felt "forced" into our modern days.
Just returned home from a short basketball practice that was terminated due to hypoglycemia. That's all for now, folks!

Just read "Webspiners: Tales of Spider-Man" - Nice set of stories, nonetheless.

As said in title: I just read it, I had no major issues with the comic books of this line, but something did caught my eye, the forced yet illogical merchandising/pumping of Spider-Man Unlimited (the TV show that due to it's referrences I've even learned of this comic series' existence in the first place).

In volume 13 just before Spidey turns into his Unlimited costume he has visions of the TV show's Counter-Earth with "Lord Tyger, Lady Vermin, the Knights of Wundagore, the High Evolutionary, Beastials and Machine-Men" YET he is NOT THE SAME SPIDEY FROM THAT SERIES, therefore he must not have the slightest grain of knowledge about these characters to recognize them even if he has visions of them while transforming his shattered suit into the Unlimited one while transferring to Dusk and Blastaar's dimension while chasing after Cletus Kasady (who was chased by the NYPD). I don't know how do people who are adults make such a severe mistake of logic while I, an 11th grader (even though my school is on hiatus due to the strike as of now), know how to spot this.

Spidey recalls his NEVER TO HAPPEN IN THIS TIME LINE "Counter-Earth Adventures"

Why do I have a feeling that Andy Kuhn and his Marvel Comics staff never watched "Spider-Man Unlimited" before drawing "Where Evil Nests"?


The Green Goblin's feet in the comics version are shown to be CLEARLY INHUMAN, which is not the case here, as he's Naoko Yamada-Jones' missing husband. Yet they've chose to never address this and cut out the romantic ending of this story. :\

The original HUMAN legs.
