Modern Marvel master Al Ewing continues his groundbreaking run on Venom, with an epic showdown vs. eternal symbiote rival Carnage!

Carnage is back! Born anew in symbiote goo and blood, Cletus Kasady is more dangerous and violent than ever before — and he has his sights dead set on an unsuspecting Venom! Untested against the might of his symbiotic sibling without his father by his side, can Dylan Brock hold the sadistic serial killer at bay? Will Carnage live up to its namesake and leave another brutalized symbiote host in its wake? Or is Dylan just bait for Eddie Brock, the King in Black himself? In the greatest depths of space and at the end of existence, some carnivorous new species has blossomed. Something blood red, with thorns — and an appetite! Plus: There’s one thing that can still kill Carnage: Anti-Venom! And if things weren’t wild enough, the BLOOD HUNT begins, and Venom must unleash lethal justice on hordes of vampires!

COLLECTING: Venom (2021) 31-34, Carnage (2023) 5-6
