Scarlet Spider #11

Part 4 of the "Minimum Carnage" crossover delivers one of 2013's most viscerally intense cover images, with Carnage's snarling, fang-filled face looming enormous in the foreground as the Scarlet Spider — clad in black and red — is ensnared in a web of symbiote tendrils beneath him. Ryan Stegman's cover work captures the sheer predatory menace of Carnage bearing down on his prey with suffocating closeness. With Christopher Yost writing and art from Khoi Pham, Reilly Brown, and Tom Palmer inside, this chapter promises the kind of brutal, high-stakes confrontation that its "Kill Carnage" subtitle boldly advertises.
