About this Collection

This Epic Collection opens the door on the symbiote's bloody legacy, gathering the earliest appearances of Cletus Kasady as Carnage from the 1990s. It includes the full 'Maximum Carnage' crossover alongside key tie-ins that pit Spider-Man, Venom, and a host of allies against the psychotic killer's murder spree. The volume also collects the character's first solo series and foundational stories that establish his twisted bond with the Carnage symbiote.

"Hearts and Powers" kicks off the Carnage Epic Collection #1 with a pulse-pounding confrontation that redefines the limits of chaos. When a wave of brutal murders ties back to Peter Parker’s past, Spider-Man tracks the killer to Cletus Kasady—Venom’s violent offspring—only to discover Carnage is more terrifying, unpredictable, and powerful than anyone imagined. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life with dynamic art by Mark Bagley, inks by Randy Emberlin, and vivid colors by Bob Sharen, this standout issue features a cover by Mark Bagley and Randy Emberlin that captures the raw intensity of the moment.
