Spider-Man: Carnage #[nn]

In the gritty prologue to *Spider-Man: Carnage*, a desperate escape from prison sets off a chilling transformation: the Venom suit frees Eddie Brock, but not before a fragment of the symbiote latches onto his violent cellmate, Cletus Kasady. The bond ignites something far darker than either man could have imagined.

In "Chapter One: Savage Genesis!" from Spider-Man: Carnage #1 (1994), Peter Parker finds himself drawn into a violent mystery when a series of brutal murders begin to echo through his life. As Spider-Man tracks the trail, every clue leads to Cletus Kasady—the former cellmate of Eddie Brock—and the terrifying emergence of Carnage, a force even more savage and unpredictable than Venom.

In "Chapter Two: Savage Alliance!", Spider-Man teams up with the Human Torch to rescue Venom from his isolated desert prison, hoping his raw power can turn the tide against the rampaging Carnage. As the battle erupts, the newly unleashed symbiote proves more relentless than ever—turning its deadly focus on J.J. Jameson, leaving Spidey and Venom struggling to hold the line.

In "Chapter Three: Savage Grace!", Spider-Man and Venom team up to rescue J.J. Jameson from Carnage, their uneasy alliance tested when Mr. Fantastic intervenes to turn the tide. As the dust settles, Spider-Man makes a difficult choice that breaks his promise to Venom, leaving Eddie Brock in custody alongside Carnage.
