Toxin #3

Part three of six in this 2005 Marvel limited series finds Toxin front and center on a striking Simon Bisley cover — the snarling, crimson-and-black symbiote lunges forward in an urban setting while a second dark, hulking figure looms ominously in the background. Badged as a "Son of Carnage" and a New Avengers tie-in, this issue sits at a compelling crossroads of Marvel's symbiote mythology. Peter Milligan's script is backed by the interior linework of Darick Robertson and Rodney Ramos, making this a well-crafted chapter in Toxin's ongoing struggle to define himself.
