During today’s retailer panel at C2E2 in Chicago, writer Donny Cates (Thanos, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange) announced that Marvel will launch its epic summer event Absolute Carnage in August.
“Cletus Kasady is back, and he is deadlier than he’s ever been,” said Cates. “Absolute Carnage encompasses every single character who has ever worn a symbiote and every symbiote that has ever been, going all the way back to when Peter found the black suit. Going from there to Maximum Carnage to Venomized to everything…everyone is a target.”
Beginning in Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man/Venom #1 (out May 5th), the blockbuster event starts in August (although fans will see the threads reaching as far back as Amazing Spider-Man #252 with connections to almost every Venom and Carnage story since) and re-teams Cates with Venom’s Ryan Stegman and colorist Frank Martin for the deadliest story in the Marvel Universe. This summer, no super hero is safe…everyone is a target!
