Suggested by matthewfenner
Two weeks after his brutal battle with Sandman, Peter Parker is exhausted — physically scarred, emotionally numb, and desperate for peace. But peace is impossible in New York. When a horrifying massacre erupts at the Ravencroft Institute, Spider-Man discovers the birth of a nightmare: Cletus Kasady, a psychotic serial killer exposed to remnants of the Venom symbiote during illegal experiments, has merged with the alien substance to become Carnage. Faster, stronger, and infinitely more sadistic than Venom, Carnage is pure chaos made flesh — driven by one goal: to spread blood and death across the city. His rampage turns Manhattan into a slaughterhouse, forcing Spider-Man into a fight more violent and personal than any he’s faced before. Haunted by the memory of Gwen’s death and the darkness still buried inside him, Peter struggles not to lose himself in the carnage. Every confrontation pushes him closer to the edge — his rage threatening to consume the last of his humanity. As the body count rises, Spider-Man must embrace the monster within to stop one even worse, blurring the line between justice and vengeance. In a relentless, R-rated descent into horror, Spider-Man: Absolute Carnage delivers a vicious showdown between two sides of the same coin — one hero, one killer — both born from the same black abyss. The question isn’t who will win… but what will be left of Spider-Man when it’s over.
