1st appearance of Dark Carnage. Lucio Parrillo cover, Scorpion Comics store exclusive.
Web of Venom: Carnage Born #1 is the one-shot that recontextualizes Cletus Kasady's history within the Donny Cates symbiote mythology, laying groundwork for the Absolute Carnage event. Written by Cates with art by Danilo Beyruth, the issue digs into Carnage's origin and his place within the Knull-era cosmology, making it a pivotal read for anyone following the Venom line from 2018 onward. The story functions as a bridge between Cates's ongoing Venom run and the larger Carnage arc that would follow.
This copy is the Scorpion Comics exclusive variant, one of several store-exclusive editions produced for this issue alongside the standard cover and a range of artist variants. Scorpion Comics exclusives are produced in limited quantities for the store's subscriber and retail base, giving this copy a distinct identity from the newsstand and direct editions. The cover art differs from the main Kyle Hotz cover and from the other artist variants released through Diamond.
The book was released November 21, 2018, with a cover date of January 2019, at the standard $4.99 price point. It carries a T+ rating and runs 36 pages in full color. As part of the Web of Venom imprint line, it sits alongside companion one-shots that expand the Venom universe between major arc beats.
