Carnage Epic Collection #3
In "Savage Rebirth!", Venom takes a shocking turn from hero to reluctant parent as he races across the Manhattan skyline, not to stop Carnage—but to protect the symbiote’s unexpected offspring. With Carnage eager to destroy the newborn, and the chaos about to erupt in the home of a pregnant cop, Spider-Man arrives just in time to face a threat unlike any he’s seen. Written by Peter Milligan and brought to life with visceral intensity by Clayton Crain—whose dynamic art, inks, and colors define the issue’s raw energy—this standout entry in the Carnage Epic Collection is a must-read for fans of the symbiote saga. The cover, by Lee Weeks, captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.

Venom pursues Carnage across the Manhattan skyline. Venom is not playing the role of hero, though. He cares little about Carnage's psychotic blood-lust. It turns out that the Carnage symbiote is ready to reproduce asexually, and as Carnage's not-so proud papa, it's up to Venom to ensure that the new creature develops properly... especially since Carnage wants to slaughter the baby blob once it's born. The slimy family feud crashes into the home of a New York City cop and his pregnant wife, which spells disaster for the couple. Fortunately, Spider-Man happens upon the scene.
