Marvel's Summer of Symbiotes initiative is heating up with another new Carnage-centric story, Cult of Carnage: Misery, which revives the previous Cult of Carnage title from several years ago.
Written by Sabir Pirzada with art from Francesco Mortarino, Cult of Carnage: Misery arrives in May alongside the start of the Carnage Reigns crossover which pits Carnage against Miles Morales on the 30th anniversary of the classic '90s story Maximum Carnage. The limited series runs for four issues.
In the case of Cult of Carnage: Misery, the focus is on Red Goblin and his connection to Carnage, specifically on longtime Spider-Man supporting cast member Liz Allen, who is the mother of current Red Goblin Normie Osborn.
"Liz Allen is the mother of Normie Osborn, who she is blissfully unaware is the all-new and all-deadly RED GOBLIN! But what Liz DOES know is that the Red Goblin has been active and has been seen VERY close to her home," reads Marvel's official solicitation text for Cult of Carnage: Misery #1.
"And after her late husband’s father, NORMAN OSBORN (maybe you’ve heard of him?), gets pulled into the chaos and violence swirling around Normie, Liz has no choice but to use the resources at her disposal as the head of ALCHEMAX to take matters into her own hands and become something the Marvel Universe has NEVER SEEN BEFORE!"
Cult of Carnage: Misery #1 goes on sale May 3. It will be an oversized 40 page issue, with a main cover from Skan, and variant covers from Leinil Francis Yu, Ryan Stegman, and Inhyuk Lee.
