''Carnage'' (2022) is a comic series published by Creator/MarvelComics, the third ongoing comic starring the titular ComicBook/{{Carnage}}. It's written by Creator/RamV, with art by Francesco Manna and color by Dijio Lima.
In the wake of ''ComicBook/ExtremeCarnage'', Cletus Kasady and the Carnage symbiote have gone their separate ways. Cut off from its usual human host, the Carnage symbiote sets out to test its capabilities and become something even more deadly.
The series was preceded by a ''Carnage Forever'' anthology one-shot with two main stories, one of which, "Unmade in His Image", is written by Ram V (with art by Salvador Larroca) and acts as a direct prequel to the series.
The other anthology story, "Homecoming", written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Edgar Salazar, shows a young girl's life-changing encounter with Carnage.

''ComicBook/{{Carnage}}'' Vol. 3 is an ongoing 2022 supervillain comic launched from Creator/MarvelComics, starring [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarnage Carnage]] and written by Creator/RamV.
In the wake of ''ComicBook/ExtremeCarnage'', Cletus Kasady and the Carnage symbiote have had a falling out and gone their separate ways; with Cletus keeping the Extrembiote -- an Extremis-mutated symbiote-dragon he stole from [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] -- as his new body and jettisoning the Carnage symbiote from their merged state. Cut off from its beloved host, the Carnage symbiote sets out to test its capabilities sans host, and break through its limits to become something even more deadly in the process.
The run consists of:
* ''Carnage Forever'' -- An anthology one-shot consisting of two main stories: "Homecoming", a story by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Edgar Salazar, showing a young girl having a chance encounter with Carnage that changes her life; and "Unmade in His Image", a story by Ram V with art by Salvador Larroca, showing the host-less Carnage symbiote paying the imprisoned Morris Bench a visit.
* ''Carnage'' Vol. 3 -- Written by Creator/RamV with art by Francesco Manna
The first issue of the ongoing series is scheduled for release March 16 2022.
