The Press Release:
Just now at the Marvel Comics: Spider-Man and his Venomous Friends Panel at New York Comic Con, Senior Editor Jordan D. White, current Venom scribe Al Ewing, and New York Times best-selling author Charles Soule revealed the future of symbiote storytelling. Fans were given a first look at ALL-NEW VENOM and the announcement of the second symbiote ongoing series spinning out of Venom War: EDDIE BROCK: CARNAGE!
Launching in February, EDDIE BROCK: CARNAGE will be written by Soule, known for his acclaimed run on Star Wars, and drawn by Jesus Saiz, following his extraordinary work on recent titles like Captain America and Punisher. Set in the aftermath of Venom War, the startling saga sees longtime Venom host Eddie Brock operating as the new host of the violent and sadistic Carnage symbiote. The series will interact with the other flagship symbiote title, ALL-NEW VENOM, which sees the Venom symbiote take on a yet-to-be revealed host.
THE MOST LETHAL PROTECTOR OF ALL! He’s been VENOM, he’s been ANTI-VENOM, he’s been THE KING IN BLACK…now, Eddie Brock has made his darkest bond yet as he joins with the one-and-only CARNAGE! Can he control his new other’s endless bloodlust? Or will he give himself over to madness and murder? Join Eddie and Carnage on a journey into the darkest parts of the Marvel Universe with bloody death as their only guide!
“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,” Soule explained. “ But Carnage is also an addict, and addicts need bigger and bigger highs…”
“I’m having a blast with this,” he continued. “Jesus Saiz wanted to do a horror book. This is his wheelhouse. He loves creepy organic things to draw, and I’m giving him everything he can handle.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: After following his adventures for so many years as Venom, I will admit that I am rather shocked to find Eddie Brock being Carnage now. I will also admit that I am not too up on the latest batch of storylines where things in that original dynamic had changed but I will be amenable to leafing through the debut issue when it arrives on the racks in February of the coming 2025 year. You out there in the readership can chime in with your own thoughts about the matter and I will quickly approve any topical notions when I see them in the moderation panel. Now if you don’t mind I’ll add a bit of a shameless plug. PiercingMetal is on point and exploring the New York Comic Con as one of the accredited press and if you want to see all of the posts that we have published so far please click NYCC 2024 to launch a new browser tab with anything relating to this years massive media event.
