- A Child Is Born Part One: Baby Please Don't Go! · 22 pages
Venom pursues Carnage across the Manhattan skyline. Venom is not playing the role of hero, though. He cares little about Carnage's psychotic blood-lust. It turns out that the Carnage symbiote is ready to reproduce asexually, and as Carnage's not-so proud papa, it's up to Venom to ensure that the new creature develops properly... especially since Carnage wants to slaughter the baby blob once it's born. The slimy family feud crashes into the home of a New York City cop and his pregnant wife, which spells disaster for the couple. Fortunately, Spider-Man happens upon the scene.
Publisher’s description
What's worse than one mayhem-producing symbiote? Two. What's worse than that? Three. That's right: Venom's offspring, Carnage, is about to have a baby itself - a creature of indescribable power and appetites. Question is, who's gonna bring up baby? Quick - someone call Spider-Man!
