Symbiotes clash - with Spidey in the middle! Carnage, the spawn of Venom, has assembled an army of the web-slinger's criminally insane adversaries to spread his message of hostility, chaos and wholesale slaughter! Outmanned and overpowered, the wall-crawler must recruit his own band of super-beings to combat the rising tide of evil- Black Cat, Cloak & Dagger, Firestar, Captain America, Iron Fist, Deathlok and...Venom?! Meanwhile, Mary and Richard Parker, long presumed dead, are back in Peter's life - but Aunt May still has suspicions, and when the Vulture gains a new lease on life at Spidey's expense, it sets in motion a chain of events that will rock the wall-crawler's world!
