CARNAGE REIGNS ALPHA #1 hits stands on May 3
This May, Miles Morales swings into his darkest battle yet in CARNAGE REIGNS! Original Carnage host Cletus Kasady is back and more powerful and bloodthirsty than ever before! And he has a score to settle with Miles—and with all of New York City! Part of the overarching SUMMER OF SYMBIOTES, an entire season of symbiote insanity, the two iconic characters will go head-to-head this thrilling crossover between their respective ongoing titles as well as the new symbiote series starring Normie Osborn, RED GOBLIN. Crafted by Carnage writer Alex Paknadel and Miles Morales: Spider-Man writer Cody Ziglar and featuring art by Julius Ohta, Jan Bazaldua, Federico Vicentini and Francesco Manna, the seven-part epic kicks off with a giant-sized one-shot, CARNAGE REIGNS ALPHA #1.
Fans can get their first look at what promises to be one of Mile Morales’ most intense stories in the new CARNAGE REIGNS TRAILER, featuring never-before-seen artwork. The trailer shows some of the brutality Miles will have to confront in this visceral showdown with the most terrifying villain in the Marvel Universe.
“Carnage Reigns is an old-fashioned David and Goliath story pitting a greener Spider-Man against the most sadistic monster in the Marvel Universe—Cletus Kasady!” Paknadel explained to Bloody Disgusting. “Miles has only been this out of his depth on a handful of occasions, which is a gift from a storytelling perspective. I’ve really enjoyed crafting this tale with Cody Ziglar, and we’ve developed a really fun, really productive working shorthand and that fun is present on the page! We know this story will satisfy fans of both characters in their FIRST-EVER CROSSOVER!”
Check out a complete crossover checklist and all the CARNAGE REIGNS ALPHA #1 covers, including Taurin Clarke’s connecting variant that will on the first three parts. See how far Carnage is willing to go to satisfy his hunger, and if Miles can step up to stop him when CARNAGE REIGNS ALPHA #1 arrives on May 3!
