In the wake of Extreme Carnage, the most bloodthirsty symbiote in the Marvel Universe is adrift and more dangerous than ever. Carnage Volume 3 features a transformative journey as the symbiote, now separated from its longtime host Cletus Kasady, begins a terrifying quest for godhood. Written by the critically acclaimed Ram V and Alex Paknadel, with visceral artwork by Rogê Antônio and Francesco Manna, this series shifts the tone of the character toward a dark, psychological horror noir.
The story follows the symbiote as it hunts other superpowered beings—including Hydro-Man and The Spot—not to kill them, but to harvest their unique abilities and forge a new, god-killing identity. While the symbiote pursues its dark evolution, Detective Jonathan Shayde finds himself caught in a psychological battle of wills as a remnant of Carnage infects his own mind. This volume serves as a bridge to the massive Carnage Reigns event, proving that even without Kasady, the Carnage symbiote is a calculating force of cosmic nature that refuses to be ignored.
