Venom: Carnage Unleashed

In the chaotic aftermath of Venom's war on humanity, this 1996 one-shot from Marvel pits the lethal protector against a new breed of symbiote-driven horrors. Written by Larry Hama with visceral art from Andrew Wildman and Joe Rubinstein, the issue explores the limits of Eddie Brock's control as Carnage's influence spreads unchecked through New York. A tense, standalone thriller that captures the dark, '90s edge of the Venom mythos.
