The shocking stories that set the psychotic symbiote Carnage on the road to solo superstardom! Carnage has returned to resume his symbiotic murder spree -- and the Amazing Spider-Man and the Invincible Iron Man are first on his hit list! Together with his host, serial killer Cletus Kasady, Carnage looks to wreak some good, old-fashioned chaos in the small town of Doverton, Colorado -- but standing in his way are heroes Spider-Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, the Thing and Wolverine; the special-ops Mercury Team; Dr. Tanis Nieves, A. K. A. Scorn; and the one and only Venom, now a government operative! But when Cletus finds a whole new microscopic world to terrorize, the Scarlet Spider and Venom must somehow work together to defeat him! And after performing unspeakable acts in the name of science, the Wizard unleashes a Superior Carnage on an unsuspecting world! COLLECTING: Carnage (2010) 1-5, Carnage, U. S. A.
