16-11-23 | Marvel supervillain Carnage is granted his own series once more! And it is within the pages of Carnage that the symbiote monstrosity returns to his first and most popular host: Cletus Kasady. Over the course of three thrilling issues, Carnage will pillage and plunder his way through the Marvel universe. Can Flash Thompson, currently fighting crime as Anti-Venom, stop his unholy adversary?
‘Cletus Kasady has been reborn! But to truly ascend to absolute power, he needs two things: loyal followers and a worthy nemesis. Meanwhile, Flash Thompson becomes convinced that a series of increasingly horrifying murders are all connected. But who is Carnage’s true target?’ The involvement of both Kassady and Thompson makes Carnage an all-star mini-reunion within the Venomverse.
Since their debut in the 1980s Venom and Carnage have become two of the most popular characters within the Marvel universe. Beyond their encounters with the amazing Spider-Man they have become rounded and fully fledged lead characters in their own right. The recent Venom films with Tom Hardy have popularized the symbiotes even further, which in turn lead to more comics! Cletus Kasady, portrayed on film by Woody Harrelson, will return to comic book stores next week.
