Cletus Kasady may have died in the weekly Venomized miniseries, but Marvel still has plans for the serial killer and his crimson symbiote, Carnage. Writer Donny Cates and artist Danilo Beyruth will deliver the one-shot, Web of Venom: Carnage Born, which sees the formation of a cult dedicated to Carnage. The question will be whether the cult has the power to bring Carnage back to life.

“Oh, it's HUGE!,” Cates told ComicBook.com regarding the significance of the one-shot. “I know we are supposed to say that, but hopefully fans and retailers both know by now that I don't just say that stuff. If I tell you something is going to be big, I mean it! And as far as my Venom run is concerned, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. For fans and collectors alike, this is a big, big moment in the history of Carnage and Venom himself. This is the first chapter in something very, VERY big! Be sure to be there when it all goes down in Carnage Born!”

What makes the issue even more special for Cates is Kyle Hotz, who collaborated with Warren Ellis on Carnage: Mind Bomb, will return to provide covers for the one-shot.

“When I was a little kid, my mom used to drop me off at the YMCA to be babysat while she was at work,” Cates said. “So naturally I would just sneak away down to the comic book store across the street. The store was called JT's comics in Garland, Texas, and it was there I first met Venom. And it was ALSO there that I read the scariest comic book I'd ever read. It was called Carnage: Mind Bomb (written by Warren Ellis with art by the incomparable Kyle Hotz!) and boy, oh boy, if you haven't read it, make sure you get thee to a comic book store and check it out. But read it with the lights on, because it will mess you up, man. It is brutal. And insane. And brilliant. It was there that the character of Carnage bloomed for me as a fan. He's been my favorite bad guy ever since, and to be able to write him is such a huge treat. And to my utter delight, KYLE HOTZ has come back to Carnage to give us our cover!! How's that for full circle! I am a very lucky Venomaniac.”
