Comic book writer Donny Cates has been talking up the upcoming Venom event, Absolute Carnage. And he has a suggestion for those who may be interested in picking up copies. As well as those who aren't.
I never do this. But hey, if you're the kind of comic fan or retailer that likes to collect Big Important Moments for newer characters…I'd put your 👀's on the Venom tie-ins to ABSOLUTE CARNAGE….

And he's like to remind you that the only essential Absolute Carnage read is the series itself and the Venom tie-ins. Like The War Of The Realms and Thor. The rest is just Frost Giants.
I mean…selling comics is, inherently, something one does to make money. But yeah, no one is making you buy them all. You can read Absolute Carnage and my Venom tie-in and be fine. I hope you'll check them out.
