Description
Spider-Man is ecstatic that the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Captain America, and others are alive after all. The Silver Surfer rescues the Mir space station from a giant asteroid. At ESU, MJ blows up at Peter for violating his promise and web-swinging with a bounty on his head. At RavencrofL new chief administrator Pogue cuts costs by reducing Carnage's security. The serial killer immediately escapes. As Joe Robertson ponders quitting the Bugle, Norman Osborn invites Jacob Conover to the fold. Martha Robertson gets into the Bugle elevator with Cletus Kasady. Soon after, her screams fill the newsroom. Robbie opens the elevator door to find Martha stabbed in the arm, with "Carnage Rules" written on the wall in a combination of her and Kasady's blood. Ignoring his promise to MJ, Peter becomes Spidey and tackles Carnage. The Surfer flies down to assist. Seeing him, the symbiote flees into the sewers. The Surfer pursues. Kasady, nearly catatonic from the separation, tells Spidey the symbiote hates the Surfer for what he did to their race and seeks revenge. Underground, it ambushes and merges with the Surfer, surfacing and confronting Spidey as the Carnage Cosmic.
