The following contains spoilers for Carnage #11 from Marvel Comics.
Cletus Kasady, the original host of Carnage, tells serial killer Kenneth Neely about a time when he murdered 39 people in a preview for Marvel's Carnage #11.
Carnage #11 comes from writer Alex Paknadel, artist Francesco Manna, color artist Erick Arciniega and letterer VC's Joe Sabino. In the previous issue, Kenneth -- a serial killer who has been following the Carnage symbiote around for a time -- took a trip to St. Estes after watching Carnage create a brand-new version of All-Black before he then took Jonathan Shayde, a police detective in New York City, as his next host. Believing Carnage may have become too powerful, Kenneth went to St. Estes in hopes of finding Cletus, who turned the building into an extension of himself following the events of Absolute Carnage.
In a preview for Carnage #11, Kenneth immediately runs into trouble trying to convince Cletus to join his cause. In an effort to show they're not so different from one another, Kenneth tells Cletus he's killed 33 people throughout his lifetime, a number which Cletus is unimpressed with. In response, Cletus recounts a time when he killed 39 people at a truck stop for no real reason in particular. While Cletus seems to want to kill Kenneth next, he stops when his newfound acquaintance tells him about Carnage and how he's growing more powerful by the day.
The synopsis for Carnage #11 reads, "CLETUS KASADY IS BACK! Years ago, Peter Parker spurned the Venom symbiote and it created a monster. Last summer, Cletus Kasady spurned the Carnage symbiote similarly, willingly rejecting it in favor of forcing his consciousness into the deadly "Extrembiote" armor. You've seen what happened to the Carnage symbiote in the months that followed... Now watch on in horror and discover what happened to Cletus!"
