Carnage: Mind Bomb

In 1996, Marvel unleashed a single-issue horror spectacle from writer Warren Ellis and artist Kyle Hotz, where the symbiotic serial killer Carnage is subjected to a terrifying psychic experiment. This one-shot pits the deranged Cletus Kasady against a telepathic weapon designed to destroy his mind from the inside, resulting in a visceral clash of mental and physical violence. A cult-favorite deep cut from Marvel's mid-90s output, Carnage: Mind Bomb showcases Ellis's early fascination with body horror and psychological breakdowns, all rendered in Hotz's grotesquely expressive style.
