Venom: Everything You Need To Know About Absolute Carnage
2. There Are Several Tie-In Stories
Would it be a comics event if there wasn't a huge range of companion stories to go along with it? So far, it has been confirmed that three ongoing series (Venom, Symbiote Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man) will crossover with the event, as well as six new tie-in stories.
The first of these storylines is Lethal Protectors, which appears to be dealing with the aftermath of John Jameson's possession, featuring Cloak & Dagger, Iron Fist, Misty Knight and Morbius.
Coming up next is Miles Morales, who has to deal with the Scorpion AND an onslaught of Carnage cultists.
Scream is set to make her reappearance in her own tie-in series, although this isn't the original Scream, as it seems Mania has taken up the mantle.
Seperation Anxiety is a phrase that will spark excitement in fans of the original Lethal Protector series, as well as fans of mid-nineties Spidey/Venom games. This series will follow the remainder of the Life Foundation Symbiotes who have been bonded to a stray dog.
Deadpool will then be stepping into the fray against the ferocious felon. The merc with the mouth seems to be checking himself into Ravencroft at the same time as Carnage, where it can only be assumed they sit down with a nice cup of tea and discuss their feelings.
October brings the hellfire with Ghost Rider: Symbiote of Venegance. Not much is known about this issue, however, money is on Robbie Reyes rather than Johnny Blaze starring in this one.
Finally, Al Ewing's fantastic Immortal Hulk comes face to face with Carnage. Once again, not much is known about this one, but it keeps to the hideous body horror of the rest of the Immortal Hulk series, it's sure to be great.
