As scary as Venom can be, when it comes to spooky symbiotes, Carnage might just take the cake as one of the creepiest villains in the Marvel universe. While it looks like Carnage could make killer splash on the big screen in Sony's Venom sequel, you can get a look at what hellish things he's up to in just a few months when Marvel releases Web of Venom: Cult of Carnage #1.

Written by Frank Tieri and featuring artwork by Danilo S. Beyruth, Web of Venom: Cult of Carnage #1 will be released this April by Marvel. Until then, you can get a look at what's to come inbJosh Cassara's chilling cover art of Carnage and his deadly, devoted followers.

From the Press Release: "New York, NY—January 18, 2019—A new terror rises on the fringes of the Marvel Universe, stirring in the depths of space…and on Earth, evil is rising in the name of the killer called Carnage! From the superstar team of Frank Tieri (Black Knight) and Danilo S. Beyruth (Man Without Fear, Web of Venom: Carnage Born) comes a new and deadly tale…WEB OF VENOM: CULT OF CARNAGE #1!

“CARNAGE, one of the scariest villains in the Marvel Universe, is back and bringing his special brand of mayhem with him!” teased series editor Devin Lewis. “For weeks, he’s been working in the shadows, but now, he and his cult of psychotic, devoted acolytes will make their presence known in the biggest, baddest, and scariest way you’ve ever seen.”

“WEB OF VENOM: CULT OF CARNAGE is a big puzzle piece in the overall conspiracy we've been building since VENOM #1,” teased Venom writer Donny Cates. “As much as CARNAGE BORN was the rebirth of Cletus Kasady, CULT OF CARNAGE will give readers a larger look at our favorite serial killer's overarching plan. Big, BIG things are coming for Venom, folks, and it begins here, in CULT OF CARNAGE! #GodIsComing!"

WEB OF VENOM: CULT OF CARNAGE #1 arrives in local comic shops this April!
