Carnage Reigns Alpha #1

Carnage Reigns Alpha #1 kicks off this 2023 Marvel event in suitably chaotic fashion, with cover artists Ryan Stegman and JP Mayer delivering a visceral image of a massive, snarling Carnage at the center of a three-way collision — flanked by a flame-wreathed figure on the left and Miles Morales' Spider-Man swinging in from above, while Iron Man fires back from the lower right. Writers Alex Paknadel and Cody Ziglar team with artist Julius Ohta and colorist Erick Arciniega on the interior story "Field Test," promising a sharp creative lineup for this oversized opening chapter. At $7.99, this is a bold, well-crafted entry point for one of 2023's most intense symbiote showdowns.
