Absolute Carnage: Weapon Plus #1

Part of Marvel's 2020 Absolute Carnage crossover event, this one-shot plunges the Weapon Plus program into symbiote-fueled chaos. Skan's cover sets a menacing tone: a hulking, symbiote-corrupted soldier in a military helmet levels an assault rifle while wearing a grotesque, fang-filled mask marked with Carnage's signature red spiral — flanked by a grimacing, spike-fisted figure with adamantium claws and a trio of smaller symbiote-suited soldiers bearing those same chilling spiral insignia. Writer Jed MacKay and artist Stefano Raffaele, with colors by Dono Sánchez-Almara, bring a pulpy military-horror sensibility to this collision of Marvel's deadliest weapons program and Carnage's spreading madness.
