Absolute Carnage: Lethal Protectors #1

The Absolute Carnage event pulls in some of Marvel's street-level heavy hitters for this tie-in miniseries, and Bengal's cover sets the stakes immediately — Iron Fist charges forward with fists blazing while Dagger, a cloaked figure wielding spectral energy, and a dark-caped hero battle behind him, all engulfed by the creeping red tendrils of Carnage's symbiote looming enormous overhead. It's a vivid, kinetic image that captures exactly the kind of desperate, outnumbered fight this unlikely team of protectors is facing. Writer Frank Tieri and artist Flaviano take the reins on the interior, promising an action-driven corner of the Absolute Carnage saga with a genuinely compelling roster.
