'Extreme Carnage' Is Coming to Marvel Comics This July

Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson leads an all-star group of talent in redefining Marvel’s fiercest symbiotes in EXTREME CARNAGE!

Phage. Scream. Lasher. Riot. Agony. This July, the five Life Symbiotes will face their greatest challenge yet, courtesy of their big bad older brother: Carnage. The saga will kick off in EXTREME CARNAGE ALPHA #1 by Eisner-nominated writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (ALIEN).

Check out teaser artwork by Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho below:

The Life Foundation symbiotes have always tried to reconcile the sometimes-noble intentions of their hosts with the often-bloodthirsty impulses of the symbiotes. But the Life Foundation symbiotes aren’t the only symbiotes who find themselves reinvented after KING IN BLACK and Carnage has plans for his younger siblings.

“After KING IN BLACK, everything we thought we knew about the symbiotes will have changed. Every man, woman, and child in the Marvel Universe will finally understand the massive threat the symbiotes represent, and the symbiotes that are still among us are now in the crosshairs of some extremely angry, scared, and powerful forces,” Johnson explained. “In the pages of EXTREME CARNAGE, we’ll not only explain what Carnage is in this new, post-KING IN BLACK era, but also see a return-to-form for the deadliest symbiotes that have ever lived while putting them on a lethal new path for the future.”

And there’s much more Carnage to come. Don’t miss this explosive family reunion when it begins in July!

Stay tuned to Marvel.com for more information on EXTREME CARNAGE in the coming weeks.
