Marvel’s ‘Carnage’ #1 Shines With Foil Cover From Gabrielle Dell’Otto
by Tom Smithyman
Fan-favorite symbiote Carnage is returning to his own series in the fall, and publisher Marvel Comics is celebrating with a foil cover from superstar artist Gabrielle Dell’Otto.
Carnage #1, debuting November 15, 2023, will reveal new levels of savagery from the terrifying villain as he continues his quest for power. Dell’Otto’s blood-red foil cover captures the bloody fury the symbiote will unleash when it reunites with its favorite host Cletus Kasady.
The new series, which will spin out of the Death of the Venomverse limited series, is written by Torunn Grønbekk and illustrated by Pere Pérez.
“What are powers without purpose? Having hunted down and triumphed over his greatest weaknesses, Carnage’s powers are unrivaled,” Grønbekk said of the new series. “However, a piece is still missing – the symbiote needs a host with the ambition to match its own. And for Carnage, there was only ever one. (And you know who!) I knew writing Carnage would be an opportunity to explore some pretty dark themes, but I am surprised and delighted to find that the darkness is coming from some unexpected places. It is my kind of horror – overwhelmingly gruesome but still rooted firmly in humanity. Expect big symbiote action, mysteries, myth and murder. This is gospel, according to Cletus Kasady, and he is the end of the world as we know it.”
