Carnage

Marvel’s 2010–2011 Carnage series is a five-issue miniseries that puts the symbiote-fueled serial killer center stage, written by Zeb Wells with visceral, painted art by Clayton Crain. Following the events of Carnage: Family Feud, this story pits Cletus Kasady against his own twisted progeny as the U.S. government deploys a secret task force—including a new, unstable version of the Toxin symbiote—to contain the bloodshed. It’s a dark, horror-tinged chapter that deepens the mythos of Marvel’s most unhinged villain, marked by Crain’s moody, photorealistic visuals and Wells’s knack for relentless, character-driven chaos.
