About the series
From 2022 to 2023, Marvel unleashed a 14-issue Carnage series that pushed the iconic symbiote into darker, more mythic territory. Writer Ram V and artist Francesco Manna steered the story away from Cletus Kasady’s usual rampage, instead following a new host—Kenneth Neely—and introducing the supernatural detective Jon Shayde into the symbiote’s bloody orbit. With the unexpected appearance of Malekith, the series wove horror and fantasy into a chilling exploration of Carnage’s legacy. It stands as a bold, character-driven reimagining that expanded the symbiote lore beyond its street-level roots.
