Venom: Carnage Unleashed #1

Kicking off a four-part Marvel saga from 1995, this issue drops Venom right into the chaos as Carnage looms enormous and fanged overhead, crimson symbiote tendrils lashing down toward a screaming, partially transformed Eddie Brock caught mid-struggle below. Andrew Wildman's cover art captures a real sense of dread — the scale between the towering, tooth-filled Carnage and the vulnerable, partially symbioted Brock makes the threat feel immediate and visceral. "Carnage Unleashed" promises exactly what the title advertises, and this opening chapter sets a tense, menacing tone right from the start.
