Eddie Brock: Carnage Vol. 2 - The Killing Muse

Eddie Brock has bitten off more than he can chew by bonding with the psychotic symbiote Carnage!

Eddie is losing his grip on Carnage’s powers and bloodlust. Can he keep the symbiote’s baser instincts at bay until they locate a suitable target? Or will innocent people begin to pay for Eddie’s hubris? Meanwhile, back in Chicago, the lethal pair go from hunters to hunted as the serial killer Muse closes in on who destroyed his studio. With Carnage’s health and willpower slipping, will Eddie be able to hold on to his morals — or will he cross the line he himself drew in the sand and take the life of an undeserving civilian? Or perhaps a worthy, perfectly despicable, prey will find them instead?
