Cletus Kasady (aka Carnage) is back and badder than ever in Carnage Reigns, a brand new crossover event from Marvel Comics that pits the supervillain up against Miles Morales!
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that the crossover will include Carnage Reigns Alpha #1, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #6 (Carnage Reigns Part 2) and Carnage #13 (Carnage Reigns Part 3). It’ll be seven parts, also tying into Red Goblin #5, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #7 and Carnage #14 in June and then ending in Carnage Reigns Omega #1, also in June.
Writer Alex Paknadel tells BD, “Carnage Reigns is an old-fashioned David and Goliath story pitting a greener, Spider-Man against the most sadistic monster in the Marvel Universe—Cletus Kasady! Miles has only been this out of his depth on a handful of occasions, which is a gift from a storytelling perspective. I’ve really enjoyed crafting this tale with Cody Ziglar, and we’ve developed a really fun, really productive working shorthand and that fun is present on the page! We know this story will satisfy fans of both characters in their FIRST-EVER CROSSOVER!”
Writer Cody Ziglar adds, “I’m excited to keep exploring Miles’ journey as a hero both as a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and a hero on the greater world stage as well. Miles has done a lot of inner personal growth with this first arc and I’m excited to continue that growth alongside Alex.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the first three parts…

CARNAGE VS. MILES MORALES!
CLETUS KASADY IS BACK and badder than ever. With his soul trapped within the Extrembiote Armor created by Tony Stark during KING IN BLACK, Cletus has the means to level an untold amount of chaos and, well, carnage on New York City and the entire Marvel Universe. But like any good Tony Stark invention, the Extremis coursing through Cletus’ symbiotic veins needs POWER, and that means Cletus is HUNGRY.
Good thing Brooklyn’s very own SPIDER-MAN is there to stand in his way! If he survives their first encounter, that is.

“CARNAGE REIGNS”– PART 2!
No matter what MILES MORALES throws at CLETUS KASADY, the Extrembiote-powered monstrosity just keeps coming. And Cletus is only getting stronger. But how? Spider-Man needs help. A distraction, a second to breathe. Anything, or anyone, to give him a chance – any chance – at slowing Cletus down. But Miles can’t rest. Help isn’t coming. He’s the only thing standing between New York City and maximum carnage…and if the heroes aren’t answering Miles’ calls…who’s left on Spidey’s speed dial?
