Absolute Carnage

In 2019, Marvel unleashed Absolute Carnage, a five-issue event series that pushed the symbiote mythos to its most visceral extreme. Spearheaded by artist Ryan Stegman, the story sees Cletus Kasady’s monstrous alter ego pursue a dark, godlike ascension by reclaiming scattered pieces of his symbiote’s power. It’s a brutal, sprawling saga that forces Eddie Brock and an army of past symbiote hosts to confront a threat that could consume the entire Marvel Universe.
