Toxin #1
In *Toxin #1*, ex-cop Pat Mulligan becomes the unlikely host to an alien symbiote known as Toxin—the offspring of Carnage—marking a fresh take on the symbiote legacy. Written by Peter Milligan and illustrated by Darick Robertson, with inks by Rodney Ramos and colors by Matt Milla, the story kicks off with Mulligan embracing his new role, setting out to track down escaped superhumans from a recent prison break. His first lead takes him to Mr. Hyde, the disgruntled former partner of the fugitive King Cobra, in a tense and revealing encounter that sets the stage for a darker, more personal mission. Esad Ribić’s striking cover captures the eerie fusion of man and alien lifeform, a fitting introduction to this twisted new chapter in the symbiote saga.

Ex-cop Pat Mulligan finds himself the host for the alien offspring of the symbiotic creature known as Carnage. The new lifeform has taken the name of Toxin, and it seems far more willing to work with Mulligan toward a greater good rather than adopting the bloodthirsty and cruel personality of its daddy. For his first mission, Mulligan decides to help to track down escapees from the recent superhuman prison break in New York, and the first target on his list is King Cobra. To get some insight and a lead, Mulligan approaches Cobra's disgruntled former partner: Mr. Hyde.
