Carnage's Promised Return Goes Missing As Symbiotes Brace for Queen In Black

Marvel's latest comics deliver a head-spinning mix of symbiote action and unexpected reveals, but one major promised moment was a no-show. Fans eagerly awaiting Carnage's return in Spider-Versity #3 – complete with a tease of a new, young host – will find themselves waiting. The issue's solicitation promised the chaotic symbiote would surface, but the comic itself didn't deliver. Chalk it up to a future issue, perhaps?

Meanwhile, the stage is being set for the massive 'Queen In Black' event. Dylan Brock is back alongside the feline-like symbiote Sleeper, adding another dynamic duo to the mix. Even Rick Jones is making moves, parting ways with the Toxin symbiote. And in a surprising twist, Mary Jane Watson is joining forces with Tony Stark, signaling her own significant role as Knull's invasion approaches. Expect the symbiote saga to escalate rapidly, even if Carnage is fashionably late.
