Absolute Carnage #2

Venom and Spider-Man charge forward together against a relentless horde of red, symbiote-infected creatures swarming in from every direction — and Ryan Stegman and JP Mayer's cover makes the sheer scale of that threat feel genuinely overwhelming. The two unlikely allies look outmatched but determined, surrounded by a churning mass of Carnage cultists beneath a blood-orange sky that sets an ominous tone for the entire series. Donny Cates' Absolute Carnage event is in full swing by issue #2, and this cover alone captures why it earned so much attention in 2019.
