The battle known as Venom War has concluded, but the chaos brought on by Eddie Brock’s Carnage is about to escalate. In issue #5 of Venom War, written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Ian Coello, we witnessed the climactic fight between the King in Black and Meridus, an evil alternate version of Eddie who summoned the zombiotes: a horde of symbiote zombies that revived the dead and controlled the living. As the Venom symbiote rejoined its initial host, Peter Parker, transforming him into Venomous Spider-Man, Carnage, Venom’s offspring, also made a reappearance.
