Absolute Carnage kicks off in August, spinning out of Donny Cates’ ongoing Venom series. As set up by the events of Venom, Cletus Kasady returns to the Marvel Universe and he is more dangerous than ever before. Carnage plans to hunt down every Marvel hero who has ever worn a symbiote, which means everyone is a target.
August sees the third chapter of Absolute Carnage hit, as well as the launch of several new Absolute Carnage tie-in books, including Absolute Carnage: Symbiote of Vengeance, Absolute Carnage: Avengers, Absolute Carnage vs. Deadpool, and Absolute Carnage: Symbiote Spider-Man.
Continuing tie-in series include Absolute Carnage: Lethal Protectors, Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales, and Absolute Carnage: Scream. In addition, the regular ongoing series Venom and Amazing Spider-Man will also feature Absolute Carnage tie-in stories.
