Venom: Carnage Unleashed #1

Issue Details

Synopsis

Eddie stands screaming in rage at a poster of the forthcoming 'Carnage Unleashed' video game – the symbiote engulfing him as he vows to rip out the psycho's heart before he lets him cash in on the infamy of his New York rampage. As Venom, he rounds on the two thugs attempting to mug him at gun point. The pair seem unshaped by his transformation, demanding to get paid – one eggs the other into opening fire and Venom leaps into action, lecturing them that they cant blame comics, games and TV for their twisted minds because he did all the same stuff and turned out fine. The symbiote morphs into a leather jacket as Brock walks away from the mutilated corpses (pondering on how many innocents he saved from those predators), and heads for the bus station - promising to go give Kasady a visit.At Ravencroft, Cletus is playing a prototype of the Carnage Unleashed game. His psychiatrist Dr. Pazzo threatens to take away this privilege if he continues to avoid answering her questions, to which he takes umbrage – snarling that its his game, that its all about what he did so she has no right.

She asks him why he dug up his parents bodies, but instead Kasady stats talking about how his mother lied to his dad. Cletus claims she hated him and so stirred up trouble to destroy his relationship with his dad – she loved her dog more than her own son. When asked why he'd never mentioned this dog before, he replies that it died – having done something nasty in the basement. The panel cuts to an image of a young Kasady holding a bloodied power drill. Though caught in the act Cletus maintains that it was the dog that was responsible for the "mess", yet he still got the blame.Meanwhile Brock is bound for New York, lamenting on his poor choice of seat mate; a green-haired punk singing loudly while playing her guitar. He finally snaps...
