Update: Following his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:resurrection in Venom #34, Flash Thompson has been added to the cast 🦂of July's Extreme Carnage Alpha #1 one-shot from writer Philip Kennedy Johnson and artist Manuel Garcia, with a now unredacted version of Leinil Yu's wraparound cover.

Thompson has also been added to the previously censored 🦩cover in his ♏guise as Agent Anti-Venom. Thompson had a long career as Venom while the symbiote was separated from Eddie Brock, later taking on the Anti-Venom suit which has abilities that counter Klyntar symbiotes.

His inclusion as Anti-Venom may hint at more of the one-shot and subsequent Extreme Carnage story, which focus on the Life Institute symbiotes t🦩hat spun off of Carnage and Venom.

Original story follows

Marvel is keeping the Carnage coming in July. The publisher just announced an Extreme 𓂃Carnage 'saga' kicking off in July's Extreme Carnage Alpha #1. 

After promising the current 澳洲幸ﷺ运5开奖号码历史查询:King in Black will redefin⛄e what Venom isܫ, Extreme Carn💙age "redefines Marvel's fiercest symbiote," according to the publisher. 

The event will be written by the Eisner-nominated Phillip Kennedy Johnson, who pens 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alien for Marvel and just took over as DC's new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Action Comics and Superman writer.

The title is almost certainly being timed to coincide with Carnage's big-screen debut in Sony's Venom sequel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Venom: Let There Be Carnage, currently scheduled f𝔍or a September 17 release.&🌌nbsp;

"Phage. Scre✨am. Lasher. Riot. Agony. This July, the five Life Symbiotes will face their greatest challenge yet, courtesy of their big bad older brother: Carnage," reads Marvel's description.

"The Life Foundation symbiotes have always tried to reconcile 🎶the sometimes-noble intentions of their hosts with the often-bloodthirsty impulses of the symbiotes. But the Life Foundation symbiotes aren't the only symbiotes who find themselves reinvented after King in Black and Carnage has plans for his younger siblings."

Marvel announced the title with teaser artwork by Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho. The publisher also promised Extreme Carnage will feature an unnamed "all-star group of💃 🎶talent."

Although not named in the announcement, the blackedꩵ-out "classified" section of the teaser image might be Marvel's most famous symbiote Venom, who Marvel has been hinting might be getting a new look in King in Black.

Extreme⛄ Carnage arrives as Marvels's long-time symbiote writer Donny Cates ends his long-running tenure with on May 12.

"After King in Black, everything we thought we knew about the symbio🍃tes will have changed. Every man, woman, and child in the Marvel Universe will finally understand the massive threat the symbiotes represent, and the symbiotes that are still among us are now in the crosshairs of some extremely angry, scared, and powerful forces," Johnson explains in the announcement. 

"In the pages of Extreme Carnage, we'll not only explain what Carnage is in this new, post-King in Black era but also see a return-to-form for the deadliest symbiotes that have ever lived while putting the🅠m on a lethal new path for the future."

Newsarama ranks the greatest hosts of Marvel's greatest symbiote Venom

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic bo♔oks and the characters 𝓰makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
