Cult of Carnage: Misery

In Cult of Carnage: Misery (2023–present, Marvel), a single-issue special from the symbiote-saturated corner of the Marvel Universe, artist Skan brings a visceral, kinetic energy to a story that expands the dark mythology of Carnage. The series introduces a new host bonded to a piece of the infamous symbiote, exploring the twisted family legacy and psychological weight that comes with such a connection. A taut, horror-tinged entry in the ongoing saga of the symbiote god Knull's influence, it matters for deepening the emotional stakes of those touched by the alien ooze.
