It collects issues such as Carnage #1, Web of Carnage #1-2, and related storylines where the red symbiote clashes with Spider-Man, Venom, and other heroes. The book also features the introduction of the character Shriek and the formation of Carnage's twisted family.
In "Excerpt from Web of Spider-Man #117," Matt faces a high-stakes trial over Venom's actions, using cunning tactics to draw Spider-Man into the proceedings. Just as the courtroom tension reaches a peak, the district attorney calls Cletus Kasady as a witness—only for the moment to erupt into chaos when Kasady transforms into Carnage mid-testimony. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Josh Hood, with inks by Derek Fisher, colors by Tom Smith, and letters by Ken Lopez, this pivotal story features a cover by Sal Buscema and John Bligh.
In "Planet of the Symbiotes, Chapter Two: Lurkers!", Spider-Man and the Scarlet Spider team up with the reformed Eddie Brock in a high-stakes hunt for the missing Venom symbiote, diving into a world where alien life thrives in the shadows. The trio must navigate a planet teeming with hidden dangers as they track the symbiote’s trail—before it finds a new host.
In "Monsterworld! [Planet of the Symbiotes Chapter 3]," Spider-Man, the Scarlet Spider, and Eddie Brock find themselves stranded on a strange, alien world teeming with symbiotes—only to uncover a chilling plan for Earth's invasion. The trio must navigate a planet where the symbiotes' true intentions are far more dangerous than they first appeared.
In "It's a Wonderful Life!", John and Ashley are thrust into the nightmarish, ever-shifting landscape of Carnage’s mind, where every corner pulses with violence and surreal dread. As they fight to survive the grotesque illusions and relentless terror, their desperate escape leads them to a chilling moment outside—watching Cletus being taken away, facing execution at Ravencroft.
In "Disorder in the Court!", Matt faces a high-stakes trial over Venom’s actions, crafting a defense that pulls in even Spider-Man—though not quite as planned. The courtroom takes a terrifying turn when Cletus Kasady is called to testify, and the moment he steps forward, the trial erupts into chaos as Carnage emerges.
In "Trial and Error!", Venom, Spider-Man, and Daredevil clash in a chaotic courtroom showdown as they attempt to dismantle Carnage’s reign of terror. Just as the trial seems poised to continue, a mysterious agent arrives and swiftly takes Venom into custody, leaving the fate of the investigation—and the hero—shrouded in uncertainty.
