Minimum Carnage: Omega #1

The concluding chapter of Marvel's 2013 "Minimum Carnage" crossover arrives in this one-shot by writers Christopher Yost and Cullen Bunn. Clayton Crain's painted cover is genuinely striking — the armored Flash Thompson Venom and a red-suited Scarlet Spider stand back to back, nearly engulfed by a seething swarm of tiny Carnage symbiote creatures that spiral and writhe around them in every direction. It's a vivid image that captures the overwhelming, chaotic scale of the threat these two unlikely allies are up against.
