The serial-killing symbiote\'s sadistic spree starts here! As if Venom wasn\'t lethal enough, imagine what would happen if his symbiotic \'other\' had been joined to a murderous psychopath? That\'s where Cletus Kasady comes in, as Venom\'s symbiotic spawn transforms him into Carnage, Spider-Man\'s sickest foe! Killing on a whim, Carnage is a painful, twisted thorn in the sides of Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, Venom-even the Silver Surfer! An unstoppable force of nature, Carnage will unleash an onslaught of death - but as far as he\'s concerned, it\'s a wonderful life!
