While the big summer event is going to be the Absolute Carnage piece that gets underway in August, there’s some murder to be done before that. Marvel is previewing the July 24th, 2019 release of Web of Venom: Funeral Pyre, which comes from writer Cullen Bunn along with artists Alberto Albuquerque and Joshua Cassara. The first issue has a cover from Declan Shalvey as well that you can see below.
“When I took this project, I warned Editorial that it was going to be vicious and bloody and cruel.,” said writer and Mania co-creator Cullen Bunn. “I’m leaning into Carnage’s horror vibe here. This is absolutely a horror story, with Andi as the hero and Carnage as the unstoppable killer.”
Plot Concept: For weeks, serial killer Carnage has been hunting former symbiote hosts and killing them. Next in the crosshairs of his inky tendrils is Andi Benton, formerly Mania, who’s back to living in Philadelphia and without any symbiote to save her…
With terror and throat-gripping action, this utterly alien thriller will mark only the beginning of Carnage’s insatiable bloodlust.
