Cates (Thanos, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange) will team with Ryan Stegman (Venom) to officially launch the event with Absolute Carnage in August. Seeds for the story will be revealed in FCBD 2019 Spider-Man/ Venom (JAN190037) on May 5, in a backup Venom story by Cates and Stegman which will set the stage for a fearsome event that will rock the Marvel Universe. Cates also said in the announcement that threads for this plotline reach back to Amazing Spider-Man #252 and will touch every Venom and Carnage story since then.
“Cletus Kasady is back, and he is deadlier than he’s ever been,” Cates said in the video announcement. “Absolute Carnage encompasses every single character who has ever worn a symbiote and every symbiote that has ever been, going all the way back to when Peter found the black suit. Going from there to Maximum Carnage to Venomized to everything… everyone is a target.”Summer Event Targets Every Symbiote Host Ever
