Venom vs. Carnage #1
In "A Child Is Born Part One: Baby Please Don't Go!", Venom stalks Carnage across the Manhattan skyline not as a hero, but as an unwilling caretaker—his symbiote has given rise to a new life, and Carnage’s violent impulses threaten to end it before it begins. With the newborn symbiote’s survival at stake, Venom’s uneasy mission collides with the life of a New York cop and his pregnant wife, drawing Spider-Man into a chaotic, slimy family feud. Written by Peter Milligan and brought to life with bold, visceral art by Clayton Crain—pencils, inks, and colors all by Crain—this 2004 Marvel standout marks a bizarre, high-stakes chapter in the symbiote saga, with a cover by Clayton Crain that captures the series’ grotesque, urgent energy.

Venom pursues Carnage across the Manhattan skyline. Venom is not playing the role of hero, though. He cares little about Carnage's psychotic blood-lust. It turns out that the Carnage symbiote is ready to reproduce asexually, and as Carnage's not-so proud papa, it's up to Venom to ensure that the new creature develops properly... especially since Carnage wants to slaughter the baby blob once it's born. The slimy family feud crashes into the home of a New York City cop and his pregnant wife, which spells disaster for the couple. Fortunately, Spider-Man happens upon the scene.
