GOD DAMN when the vresident femal symbote doesn,t know the answer come to your freindly neighberhood cyber ninja
r"Venom Triumphant!"
At Manhattan Correctional Facility, cell of Cletus Kasady, in front of six or so fully armored and armed guards, a lowly man with a mop works his way to Cletus's cell then morphs into Venom. A page later, all the guards are (probably) dead allowing Venom to rip Kasady's carnage symbiote off then digest it. Back to the Parker place where Pete and Jill Stacy work their way into a "close moment" while preparing for Mary Jane's return.
Later that night, Venom scratches "Kill my landlord" and "Get symbiote back from Carnage" off his "Kill Spider-man" dominated to-do list. Next on the list: "Destroy the Daily Bugle".
Carnage is fighting Venom and Spider-Man in the middle of a baseball field, cheered on by blood-thirsty fans. Oh, no, wait, it's a fantasy. Cletus is in a high-security prison, without symbiote. Guess he's not happy.
Cut to Aunt May at the Parker apartment. Jill and Arthur Stacy arrive as the phone rings. Both are bearing the same bad news... Mary-Jane's plane went boom.
Peter, meanwhile, is webswinging around, saving folks, but planning his trip to go meet MJ and restore his tattered love-life. He comes across a Department of Corrections truck which has crashed and burned. Hey, what a coincidence, that truck was carrying Cletus Kasady to a maximum security prison. And now he's missing. Oops.
Indeed, Cletus is out killing folks. A couple of security guards at a hardware store, where he also takes the opportunity to strip to his briefs and paint himself red. Looks like a bad case of symbiote-envy to me.
Alternating scenes of Aunt May meeting family friends, and Spider-Man taking out Carnage (saving Kingpin's goons the bother - wanton murderers being bad for business).
Final scene of Peter returning home and hearing the news of the explosion.

The issue opens with a shadowy figure telling the story of two people. One, Cletus Kasady, is in custody minus his Carnage symbiote, which Venom consumed in PP
M #9. The other is Peter Parker, "kept... awake the loss of his true love." While he swings off into the night, Kasady feels a strange calling and manages to break out of jail with the police hot on his tail. Before Spider-Man can subdue him, the van and both figures get sucked into some sort of black-hole-looking gateway.
Falling through the distortion area - kind of a "no man's land" between the real world and the Negative Zone, Spidey loses his hold on Carnage, falls into a maelstrom of some kind and emerges wearing what I assume is the "Spider-Man Unlimited" costume (anyone who's seen the cartoon or the comic want to back me up here?) Before he (or I, for that matter) can understand what's going on, Spider-Man takes the opportunity to help out a stranger he sees tumbling into the same maelstrom. But before he can get his bearings the two land on the surface of some strange planet and come face to face with... "Blastaar - The Living Bomburst!"
It seems Mr. Bomburst was trying to open a rift in the distortion area to march his armies through and attack the real world, a plot foiled by Spidey and our mystery guest, whom Blastaar recognizes. Realizing that discretion is the better part of valor, the two beat a hasty retreat into the bowels of the city while Blastaar starts, well, blasting things. They meet a crowd of refugees, who also recognize the stranger. Remember Dusk, the guy who gave Spidey his nifty all-black costume back in Identity Crisis? None other.
Oh, and Cletus Kasady drops in to join up with Blastaar, but that's a story for next issue.

Blastaar, determined to hunt down these rebels that he's been searching for (and what exactly is the basis behind this conflict, anyway?) kicks things off by nuking an entire planet. Unfortunately for him, the rebels weren't on it, and this man - or whatever - does not take failure well, venting his anger by charbroiling the nearest general. Kasady agrees to help hunt the rebels down, but something else is drawing him.
Spidey and Dusk, meanwhile, are trying to decide how best to protect Dusk's people, get ambushed by a squadron of Blastaar's Imperial probe dro - er, sorry, harrier droids. The two make mincemeat of the metal mercenaries with the aid of their spiffy costumes. Deciding the only course of action is to "take the fight to ... now!" Dusk floats off with Spidey right on his tail. After all, "recently he lost his main reason to live." Kasady, meanwhile, just found his, in the form of another symbiote that somehow ended up on this world. Once again, he is Carnage.
The two heros arrive at Blastaar's base and begin trashing some robot guards, trying to get through the defensive perimeter before Blastaar can rip through the distortion area and reach earth, destroying the planet they're now on in the process. But Spider-Man is interrupted by Carnage, who quickly gets the better of him. Blastaar, meanwhile, has nearly accomplished his goal before Dusk manages to talk him down, claiming that since their planet is so close to the nexus of realities, destroying it would destroy reality itself. The Living Bomburst isn't totally insane, and after a quick word of confirmation from his own flunkies he shuts down the machine.
Carnage, however, is totally insane, going beserk at the thought of not murdering trillions of people. He flips the machine back on and the two plunge back into the maelstrom. Spider-Man plunges after Kasady and the two fall back through the distortion area to earth, seemingly losing their new costumes in the process. But as Kasady is led away by the waiting police, a few tendrils of symbiote matter are clinging to his chin...
