Fans are used to looking through the new comic racks for cool looking variant covers, but Marvel is doing something a bit more subtle with their new books, and the common denominator between them is Carnage. That’s right, the sociopath with a symbiote is back in the spotlight thanks to Absolute Carnage, and Marvel is teasing the big event with several post-credit-style scenes in the backs of select comics. As you can see in the image below, the titles that have these special scenes will also sport a special Carnage effect variant on the book’s logo, something they didn’t announce ahead of time.

As for how many copies stores receive, Marvel has told ComicBook.com that the ratio on the covers is totally random and attached to books that have the Absolute Carnage post-credits scene.
