Extreme Carnage

Alpha #1

2021

VIOLENCE RUNS IN THE FAMILY! As the dust continues to settle after the species-redefining KING IN BLACK saga, Eddie Brock and his son, Dylan, won’t be the only ones learning to adjust to a new normal. Collectively called the Life Foundation, symbiotes SCREAM, PHAGE, RIOT, LASHER and AGONY have tried to reconcile the sometimes-noble intentions of their hosts with their often-bloodthirsty impulses. But the Life Foundation symbiotes aren’t the only ones with a part to play in this story, and they aren’t the only symbiotes who find themselves reinvented after KING IN BLACK. They have an older sibling who may be reinvented in its own right: CARNAGE.

But even after ABSOLUTE CARNAGE and KING IN BLACK, Andi has never had to fight like this—and, worse still, if she can’t save her symbiote from whatever unseen force is affecting it, she might have to do it alone…
