Extreme Carnage Alpha

Launching Marvel's 2021 "Extreme Carnage" event, this one-shot sets the stage for a symbiote-fueled conflict. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Manuel Garcia, it follows the aftermath of "King in Black" as the military's use of captured symbiotes spirals out of control. The issue matters as the catalyst for a crossover that forced heroes like Venom to confront the consequences of weaponizing alien biology.
