Against the backdrop of the uneasy coexistence with Venom, the all-powerful, shape-shifting extraterrestrial Symbiote, Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist and the entity's human host, finds himself treading water in his career after the life-altering events of Venom (2018). Now, to find redemption and put himself on the map, Eddie secures a rare interview with the unhinged death-row prisoner, Cletus Kasady: a violent, sadistic serial killer left to rot in San Quentin State Prison. However, as bickering Venom grows increasingly tired of depending on a strict bland diet, Anne is determined to move on with her life, and an unforeseen complication gives birth to a new nightmare and a fierce, unstoppable arch-enemy. Is the world prepared for the advent of Carnage, a red-hued beast with a mind aflame with madness, wrath, and chaos?
