Unicorn No More, Deadpool, Everyone's Combining Symbiotes in Today's Absolute Carnage Comics

This is the Mike Del Mundo 'Classified' cover to today's Absolute Carnage #4. I will say this, that this Anti0Symbiote costume does not appear in this comic.

It does not even appear in Absolute Carnage Vs Deadpool #3 also out today where a) it would have fit the tone and b) could have come in damn useful. In that book, Carnage is still obsessed with Deadpool being a one-of-a-kind unicorn who could wear four symbiotes at once.

Even though Ultimate Reed Richards, The Maker, has already done that once this crossover. Maybe that's the result of Norman Osborn thinking he's Carnage and not having access to all the facts?

Normus is the right name. As is Vulk.

With this new Venom/Hulk concoction in Absolute Carnage #4 tying into Immortal Hulk in a very direct way… and giving us a Carnage who can also combine symbiotes together to create… what… Carvenom? Varnage? Varnomage? That Spider-Suit is looking more and more useful.

While Absolute Carnage: Avengers sees these codex-owning heroes on a mission to get rid of theirs with the Makers' machine…

Hawkeye gives us a quick impression of his David Aja days.

Before getting closer to the action.

We know that it all works out and the heroes get their codices removed. Still it gives Eddie Brock a chance to do similar, combining codices from all those heroes into one, and gaining their abilities in the process.

Another unicorn? That's three right? But it's not just Eddie Brock who is turning codices into full blown merging symbiotes. After Scream turns on Carnage over in Absolute Carnage: Scream…

Her eventual death leads to Carnage to collect her – and other – codices….

Which combine again in Hellmark… creating a new concoction.

Man, did Erik Larsen draw that panel? My mistake, he was just the arresting officer…

ALL MY CODEXES LIVE IN TEXAS*
•  *By "Texas" we mean "Deadpool's spine." Sorry, we just couldn't NOT do that pun.
•  With his potent combination of codexes from different symbiotes, the fate of the fight between good and evil lies within Deadpool!
•  He's…on the side of good, right? Honestly, sometimes it's hard to tell. I mean, Spider-Man likes him, right? Kind of? That's…something.
