Two old things combine to make something new.
Eddie Brock has worn virtually every symbiote there is worth wearing, and now it seems he's ready to dawn a familiar red and black costume for the first time: Carnage. That's right, starting February 12, 2025, Eddie Brock: Carnage #1 puts the unusual pair together for the first time in a new ongoing series. Writer Charles Soule and artist Jesus Saiz will be on creative duties for the book.
As one might expect, putting a murderous entity like Carnage together with a largely heroic figure like Eddie is sure to result in some drama. Charles Soule had the following to say about the new series:
"Carnage is someone that has to kill, so Eddie has to feed him deaths. In order for Eddie to be okay with that, the people he feeds Carnage are serial killers. But Carnage is also an addict, and addicts need bigger and bigger highs…"
As the press release puts it, fans can expect this take on Carnage to be "the most lethal protector of all" come next February. Meanwhile, All-New Venom #1, which will feature a fresh host for the Venom symbiote, will hot comic shops in December. Both series are expected to interact with one another as the months go by.
