Marvel Comics has announced that Miles Morales is finally set to have a terrifying encounter with one of Spider-Man's deadliest foes: Carnage! As the "Summer of Symbiotes" continues to be unleashed, Carnage Reigns will kick off in May with a giant-sized alpha one-shot before unfolding in both characters’ respective ongoing solo titles.
Crafted by guest Carnage writer Alex Paknadel and current Miles Morales: Spider-Man scribe Cody Ziglar, this visceral saga promises to be one of Miles’ most intense clashes as Carnages forces the young hero to confront brutality he’s never experienced in his time as Spider-Man.
Readers of both series will see the story build on current plot developments including Carnage’s extreme transformation and the toll Miles’ superhero career has taken on his personal life. The seven-part crossover will also tie into an upcoming issue of Alex Paknadel and Jan Bazaldua's Red Goblin series and wrap up in June’s Carnage Reigns Omega #1.
The story is going to feature art by an all-star lineup of talent, including Julius Ohta as well as Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Carnage's regular artists, Federico Vicentini and Francesco Manna.
Cletus Kasady is back and badder than ever. With his soul trapped within the Extrembiote Armor created by Tony Stark during King in Black, Cletus has the means to level an untold amount of chaos and, well, carnage on New York City and the entire Marvel Universe.
But like any good Tony Stark invention, the Extremis coursing through Cletus’ symbiotic veins needs power, and that means Cletus is hungry. Good thing Brooklyn’s very own Spider-Man is there to stand in his way! If he survives their first encounter, that is.
