But when Knull descends on her adopted home, his gravity well of dark psychic energy unleashes unforeseen consequences on Gwen! And her bandmate Mary Jane Watson is about to be pulled into this ordeal with a symbiote of her own. The ensuing madness can only be described as Gwenom vs. Carnage! They've been at each other's throats in the Mary Janes for years, but this battle of the bands will really shred!

Plus: Andi Benton returns, but does Scream have what it takes to put a dent in Knull's armor? And what does this latest symbiotic nightmare mean for Spider-Man?!

An event that truly lives up to its name!

Spider-Man and friends were pushed to the limits in MAXIMUM CARNAGE. The Marvel Universe barely survived ABSOLUTE CARNAGE. Now we're taking symbiote chaos to the Extreme!

As the dust continues to settle after the symbiote-redefining KING IN BLACK saga, Eddie and Dylan Brock aren't the only ones adjusting to a new normal. The Life Foundation symbiotes - Scream, Phage, Riot, Lasher and Agony - are trying to reconcile the sometimes-noble intentions of their hosts with their own all-too-often bloodthirsty impulses! But another symbiote is facing a stunning reinvention as well - and that means Carnage!

What will happen when the refreshed Carnage symbiote targets the rest one by one?
