Absolute Carnage: Separation Anxiety #1

Part of Marvel's 2019 Absolute Carnage event, this one-shot from Clay McLeod Chapman, Brian Level, and colorist Jordan Boyd plunges readers into the world of symbiote chaos. The cover by Philip Tan and Marc Deering packs in an unsettling lineup — Venom lurking in blue shadow, a pink-hued symbiote-faced woman with wild hair, a green-tinted symbiote creature, and a snarling gold-and-brown symbiote lunging forward, all dwarfed by the massive, dripping black silhouette of Carnage looming at the right edge. It's a tense, atmospheric image that captures just how crowded and dangerous the symbiote family tree has become.
