Part 3 of our Maximum Carnage coverage! In Amazing Spider-Man #378 Eddie Brock arrives at Laguardia Airport and sees a newspaper headline announcing the return of Carnage. He transforms into Venom and feeling guilty for having a part in his creation, vows to destroy him. Meanwhile, Cloak and Spider-Man are nursing their wounds in the Holy Ghost Church. Cloak is beside himself with grief from losing Dagger to a surprise assault by Shriek.
Halfway across the city, Carnage confronts Shriek and Doppelganger about their going after Spider-Man without him. Carnage insists that Spider-Man is his. "Every bone and sinew, every drop of blood or bile...MINE!"
Later, in Central Park, a police patrol car is ambushed by Carnage and his twisted family. Spider-Man follows demo goblin but is spotted. Demogoblin ambushes Spider-Man and nails him with one of his black pumpkin bombs. The bomb discharges a liquid shadow, which clings to Spider-Man and causes him to feel immense cold and feel senses of hopelessness and loss.
That evening, while Peter recovers, he and Mary Jane are watching the news coverage of Carnage's mayhem and there's a knock at the door. Mary Jane answers it to find a severely injured Venom, barely conscious.
