Toxin #6

The six-issue limited series comes to a head with this final chapter, "The Razor's End," featuring cover art by Duncan Fegredo that puts a massive, snarling red symbiote creature — billed as "Son of Carnage" — mid-leap above a sword-wielding fighter, while a blue figure looms in the background amid a fiery, debris-strewn chaos. It's a fittingly intense close-out image for a series built around one of Marvel's most visceral symbiote stories, with Peter Milligan scripting and Darick Robertson on interior art. New Avengers tie-in branding makes this an appealing pick for anyone who wants their 2005 Marvel reading to connect across the line.
