1/ Toxin (Patrick’s face exposed) and Malice (nothing of Gina exposed) standing on a rooftop. Malice is standing upright but hunched over a bit, Toxin has his arm out as if signaling her to calm down. The entire time until specified, he’s in his Carnage-form fighting with the mask on.
PATRICK: Gina… listen to me…
MALICE: NO, YOU LISTEN
CAPTION(Gina): Oh, God.
MALICE: All that SUFFERING and HATE
CAPTION(Gina): This.

SFX: KERRASSH
TOXIN(OP): GINA!!!
CAPTION(Gina): Like a warm bath and a dip into ice water.
CAPTION(Gina): My brain is humming. My mouth is moving and I’m speaking with emotions, not logical thought.

TOXIN: DAMMIT!!
3/ The rooftop of their apartment complex, an Iron Phage stands, crossing its blades in an X shape.

TOXIN: NO--
Page 3 and 4
1/ Double page spread. Toxin is being tackled downward by the Iron Phage, toward the street. He’s barely avoiding being sliced into bits. Malice is standing on a partially destroyed ledge, most of the apartment complex has collapsed, there’s smoke and debris rising – she’s taking on two Iron Riots at once, webbing one in the face and sending her fingers out as tendrils to impale the other.
TOXIN: GRAWRHH!!
IRON PHAGE: HSSSS!!!
MALICE: DIE DIE DIE!!!
MALICE: HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
CAPTION(Gina): Hitting these monsters feels GOOD.
CAPTION(Gina): Not just because they destroyed our home. Like they have something stained inside of them… tastes like cyanide and blood or--
CAPTION(Gina): Oh, God. I just thought as “We” and--
CAPTION(Gina): Am I laughing? I feel tears down my face. Soft, cold fingers stroke my hair.
CAPTION(Gina): Edward’s face is melted off but I can tell his expression. He died choking on smoke and horrified. I’m laughing.
Page 5
1/ In mid-air, Toxin rolls to the left, dodging a slash from the Iron Phage’s arm. The Iron Phage is above Toxin, if they hit the ground now, Toxin would take the brunt of the fall.
CAPTION(Patrick): I can almost SMELL it.
CAPTION(Toxin): I can feel it from here.
2/ Close up on Toxin’s right arm firing out webbing.
SFX: PLISH
3/ Close up of the spot where the webbing hit, the building Malice and Toxin were standing on earlier.
CAPTION(Patrick): It’s that same stuff that freak fighting Eddie had slathered onto him*.
CAPTION(Toxin): That delicious substance that almost made us stronger, until he pushed us apart.
(*Writers Note: Monster/Orwell Taylor in “Symbiote”.)
Page 6
1/ Toxin swinging using the strand and kicking the Iron Phage in the chest, the both of them are headed right for the building.
CAPTION(Patrick): Please, God, let there be no one inside. Please please please. Empty room. Please.
2/ View from inside the place, it’s a janitor’s closet. The wall is exploding inward, Iron Phage slamming in, with Toxin on top of him, grabbing his shoulders now with his feet still on his chest, snarling in his Venom-ish form.

TOXIN: …. Soaking into….our skin…

1/ Spider-man and Scream are surrounded by Iron Symbiotes. Scream is using her hair tendrils to fight back, grabbing onto one of them and smashing them into another (an Iron Riot into an Iron Agony) – Spider-man is in mid-air dodging bullets from an Iron Agony and a few whips from Iron Lashers. Scream is absolutely WRECKING them.
TOXIN(Quoted/caption): STRONGER!!!
SCREAM: GYAGHHHAHAHAHAHAA!!
SPIDER-MAN: Geez! You were holding back on me!
2/ Scream looking back as her hair is literally fighting off two Iron Riots and an Iron Lasher, twisting them together and crushing their bodies.
SCREAM: No! They’ve got some kind of material slathered onto their bodies! Touching it makes us feel INVIGORATED!
3/ Spider-man doing an aerial acrobatic while webbing the faces of an Iron Agony and an Iron Riot (the Riot was running at him, the Agony was aiming at him).
SFX: BUDDA BUDDA BRAKA BRAKA BOOM BOOM
SFX: THWIP
CAPTION(Spider-man): This is so ridiculously difficult without my spider-sense!
SPIDER-MAN: So, they’re covered in steroids for symbiotes?
4/ Spider-man about to punch an Iron Symbiote, but one of Scream’s tendrils is wrapped around his wrist, yanking his hand away. Another set of hair is impaling that Iron Symbiote in the face.
SPIDER-MAN: HEY!!
SFX: CRKSSHHH
SCREAM(OP): It’s also poison to humans!
5/ Spider-man looking off panel at Scream as an Iron Riot runs at him from behind. He’s got his mask’s eyes scrunched up.
SPIDER-MAN: GEE, THANKS FOR TELLING ME SOONER!
SCREAM(OP): On the other hand--
6/ Aerial view. Scream’s hair is like a legion of tendrils and it just flooded the Iron Riot behind Spidey, ripping it apart.
SFX: KERRRASSH
SCREAM(OP): It makes us STRONGER! So be thankful!
SPIDER-MAN: SO many “bad hair day” jokes.
SPIDER-MAN: SO.
SPIDER-MAN: FREAKIN’.
SPIDER-MAN: MANY.
Page 8
1/ Scream is standing among the rubble of several destroyed Iron Symbiotes, her hair is spread out under her like a wedding gown/cape/released parachute (aka, it’s grown in volume ridiculously). The area around them is pretty much WRECKED, and they’re in the clear for now. Spider-man is looking at her, our view is from just behind him.
SCREAM: No “Rapunzel” references?
SPIDER-MAN: No. That’s just… no.
SPIDER-MAN: …
SPIDER-MAN: Hey, so uh, thanks for saving my butt back there.
SCREAM: Get out of here. Go save people. This is just the beginning.
SCREAM: This is a WAR.
2/ Spider-man webslinging over the damaged street.
SFX: THWIP
SPIDER-MAN: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair…
SPIDER-MAN: I would NEVER make a joke that lame.
SPIDER-MAN: Totallykiddingmyself. (Small text)
3/ The damaged street, with Scream looking down at her hair. Her extra hair is starting to wither away.
SCREAM: The effects wear off… hm.
Page 9
1/ An Iron Agony shooting at several cars on the street, tearing them apart – resultant death count massive. There are civillians running in terror. An Iron Lasher is on the street as well, throwing its tendril-whips out toward them.
IRON AGONY: GRAWRR!!!
SFX: BRAKA BRAKA BRAKA
IRON LASHER: HRRRWWARRR!!
2/ Toxin webslinging away from his apartment complex, which is utterly destroyed. He’s in his Carnage-y form.
CAPTION(Patrick): They stopped swarming on us! Where did Gina go!?
3/ Above Toxin, as he looks down at the street shown on panel 1. Malice is tackling into the Iron Agony and slashing at it with her arms, which are now bladed tendrils. (similar to Carnage).

SFX: SLASH
MALICE: OUR BABY!
SFX: KRSHKT
MALICE: HOW DARE YOU!?!!??
4/ The Iron Lasher is turned around and tossing out its tendrils at Malice, who is in mid-air leap off of the scrap-heap that was once the Iron Agony.
MALICE: GRAWRR!
CAPTION(Patrick): It was using those people as bait!
Page 10

TOXIN: DON’T TOUCH HER!
2/ Malice crouching on a parked car, looking toward Toxin.
MALICE: We can HANDLE OURSELF
MALICE: Listen Pat, we NEED this
TOXIN(OP): No! You do NOT!
CAPTION(Gina): It’s fine that we were destroying these monsters. They were attacking our home.
CAPTION(Gina): But the rage is flowing inside my brain and my eyes are tearing any resistance I had.
3/ Standoff between Toxin and Malice. They’re glaring at each other, Malice on the car and Toxin next to the smashed Iron Symbiote.
TOXIN: Gina. Calm down.
MALICE: Edward melting in our arms PATRICK
MALICE: NEVER LEAVE OUR HEAD
MALICE: NEVER!!
4/ Toxin’s face, horrified and saddened and trying to comfort her.
TOXIN: We… we know, Gina.
TOXIN: But you’re not supposed to be here. This is just going to get worse. There’s something horrible happening here, you know it—because Toxin does.
5/ Malice’s face. She looks anything but calm.
MALICE: YEAH
MALICE: An INVASION and GENOCIDE
MALICE: And right now they want YOU dead Pat.
MALICE: But we’re TOGETHER… we FIGHT together.
CAPTION(Gina): Some of my words come through containing logic, when I realize what’s at stake. I don’t need to calm down; I just need to CONTROL.
Page 11
1/ The spot where Eddie lays in the crater, turned on his side and bleeding. Monster has formed a black web around the area, something out of the videogame “Spider-man: Web Of Shadows” to defend the spot of his victory. He’s sitting on a bulky bit of webbing, like a throne.
MONSTER: It appears I’m losing troops fast… can’t afford that. I need Toxin’s head. Then…
MONSTER: Then I can live.
2/ Side view of Monster’s face, he’s looking up and his eyes are squinted.
MONSTER: Creep. Start the production line. Make more. Implant them with the essence of the guards, have them replicate.
3/ The interior of Orwell’s underground base. It looks entirely different. Everything is covered in a fine, red coating – like the insides of a stomach. It’s all disgusting, and it’s all Creep.
CREEP: Yessssss…..
CREEP: Start… line…
4/ Robotic arms, covered in the fine mess, start to put together parts that are relatively clean – as if on purpose. Horrifically deformed symbiotic/Creep monsters – formerly the henchmen – watch over the process.
CREEP: Second wave…. Third wave…. Fourth wave…
CREEP: Never... ending… army…
5/ Monster’s face, he’s looking down and smiling.
MONSTER: Ahhh…yessss….
Page 12
1/ Malice and Toxin look around, as they are surrounded with Iron Symbiotes; only Iron Phages and Iron Lashers.

CAPTION(Gina): Collect my thoughts. Collect my thoughts. Don’t want to die. Don’t want to die. Concentrate the anger.
TOXIN: Gina… don’t leave us again…
MALICE: … We… won’t. Promise.
TOXIN: We—I’m glad.
2/ Malice tackling down an Iron Lasher and the both of them slamming into a building, Malice slicing its head off with her blade arms.

SFX: PLISH
CAPTION(Toxin): She isn’t losing herself like last time.

5/ Toxin slamming the Iron Lasher into a building, not near Malice.
SFX: BRSSSHHHKTT
CAPTION(Patrick): We have to live through this, bottom line.

VENOM: What’s going on?! Update me!
KATE: New York is under attack by some army of symbiotes bonded to armor.
2/ Agent Venom is standing still and Dr. Mackenzie is inspecting him with a microscopic scalpel kind of tool, a high pocketknife basically. Kate is visible in the foreground piloting. The door to the copter is closed, and presumably in flight. The area Agent Venom is standing in has high tech monitors around, right now being used to detect heart rate and graphical data about the symbiote.
VENOM: Any word on civilians?
DR. MACKENZIE: The scan’s all clear. Injecting the sedative again; you have another 48 hours to fix this.
VENOM: I need to know if Betty’s safe.
KATE: Spider-man just saved a large group of people from an attack on the Daily Bugle. There’s video. A few died, and so far there’s been no word that she was hurt.
KATE: I’ll patch you in.
CAPTION(Venom): Twice you’ve saved her before me.
3/ The symbiote is off of Flash’s face, as he’s looking up and over at a monitor which is displaying video feed of an Iron Phage and an Iron Lasher tearing the Daily Bugle apart, they’re both hanging off the side as if they’re climbing, but they’re striking at key structural points.
MONITOR: MASSIVE PANIC AS NEW YORK CITY IS UNDER ATTACK--
4/ Flash’s face, he’s got a look of shock.
FLASH: No…
MONITOR: SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE UNDER ATTACK!
5/ The monitor shows the Daily Bugle collapsing in on itself like a mushroom cloud, the Iron Phage and the Iron Lasher flying away.
MONITOR: THE DAILY BUGLE IS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL BUILDINGS TO FALL!
KATE(OP): We’ll be in the area in a few minutes.

4/ Close up of CLETUS KASADY slamming onto his side, covered in a straight jacket and a gas mask of some sort (the see-through kind that a doctor puts on you to breathe in a gas before surgery), blood spurting out of his mouth and inside the mask.
CLETUS: HA!!
CLETUS: Got BLOOD outta me FINALLY
5/ The drip of blood is formed like a bony hand, slithering over Cletus’s face, shredding the gas mask and forming CARNAGE.
CLETUS: Bloody bloody blood-blood

SFX: BUDDA BUDDA BRAKA BRAKA BOOM BOOM
SFX: THWIP
CAPTION(Spider-man): This is so ridiculously difficult without my spider-sense!
SPIDER-MAN: So, they’re covered in steroids for symbiotes?
4/ Spider-man about to punch an Iron Symbiote, but one of Scream’s tendrils is wrapped around his wrist, yanking his hand away. Another set of hair is impaling that Iron Symbiote in the face.
SPIDER-MAN: HEY!!
SFX: CRKSSHHH
SCREAM(OP): It’s also poison to humans!
5/ Spider-man looking off panel at Scream as an Iron Riot runs at him from behind. He’s got his mask’s eyes scrunched up.
SPIDER-MAN: GEE, THANKS FOR TELLING ME SOONER!
SCREAM(OP): On the other hand--
6/ Aerial view. Scream’s hair is like a legion of tendrils and it just flooded the Iron Riot behind Spidey, ripping it apart.

SPIDER-MAN: SO many “bad hair day” jokes.
SPIDER-MAN: SO.

SPIDER-MAN: MANY.

1/ Scream is standing among the rubble of several destroyed Iron Symbiotes, her hair is spread out under her like a wedding gown/cape/released parachute (aka, it’s grown in volume ridiculously). The area around them is pretty much WRECKED, and they’re in the clear for now. Spider-man is looking at her, our view is from just behind him.
SCREAM: No “Rapunzel” references?
SPIDER-MAN: No. That’s just… no.
SPIDER-MAN: …
SPIDER-MAN: Hey, so uh, thanks for saving my butt back there.

SPIDER-MAN: I would NEVER make a joke that lame.
SPIDER-MAN: Totallykiddingmyself. (Small text)
3/ The damaged street, with Scream looking down at her hair. Her extra hair is starting to wither away.
SCREAM: The effects wear off… hm.
Page 9
1/ An Iron Agony shooting at several cars on the street, tearing them apart – resultant death count massive. There are civillians running in terror. An Iron Lasher is on the street as well, throwing its tendril-whips out toward them.
IRON AGONY: GRAWRR!!!
SFX: BRAKA BRAKA BRAKA
IRON LASHER: HRRRWWARRR!!
2/ Toxin webslinging away from his apartment complex, which is utterly destroyed. He’s in his Carnage-y form.

MALICE: We can HANDLE OURSELF
MALICE: Listen Pat, we NEED this
TOXIN(OP): No! You do NOT!
CAPTION(Gina): It’s fine that we were destroying these monsters. They were attacking our home.
CAPTION(Gina): But the rage is flowing inside my brain and my eyes are tearing any resistance I had.
3/ Standoff between Toxin and Malice. They’re glaring at each other, Malice on the car and Toxin next to the smashed Iron Symbiote.
TOXIN: Gina. Calm down.
MALICE: Edward melting in our arms PATRICK
MALICE: NEVER LEAVE OUR HEAD
MALICE: NEVER!!
4/ Toxin’s face, horrified and saddened and trying to comfort her.
TOXIN: We… we know, Gina.
TOXIN: But you’re not supposed to be here. This is just going to get worse. There’s something horrible happening here, you know it—because Toxin does.
5/ Malice’s face. She looks anything but calm.
MALICE: YEAH
MALICE: An INVASION and GENOCIDE
MALICE: And right now they want YOU dead Pat.
MALICE: But we’re TOGETHER… we FIGHT together.
CAPTION(Gina): Some of my words come through containing logic, when I realize what’s at stake. I don’t need to calm down; I just need to CONTROL.
Page 11
1/ The spot where Eddie lays in the crater, turned on his side and bleeding. Monster has formed a black web around the area, something out of the videogame “Spider-man: Web Of Shadows” to defend the spot of his victory. He’s sitting on a bulky bit of webbing, like a throne.
MONSTER: It appears I’m losing troops fast… can’t afford that. I need Toxin’s head. Then…

CREEP: Yessssss…..
CREEP: Start… line…
4/ Robotic arms, covered in the fine mess, start to put together parts that are relatively clean – as if on purpose. Horrifically deformed symbiotic/Creep monsters – formerly the henchmen – watch over the process.

CREEP: Never... ending… army…
5/ Monster’s face, he’s looking down and smiling.
MONSTER: Ahhh…yessss….
Page 12
1/ Malice and Toxin look around, as they are surrounded with Iron Symbiotes; only Iron Phages and Iron Lashers.

CAPTION(Gina): Collect my thoughts. Collect my thoughts. Don’t want to die. Don’t want to die. Concentrate the anger.
TOXIN: Gina… don’t leave us again…
MALICE: … We… won’t. Promise.
TOXIN: We—I’m glad.
2/ Malice tackling down an Iron Lasher and the both of them slamming into a building, Malice slicing its head off with her blade arms.

CAPTION(Toxin): She isn’t losing herself like last time.

5/ Toxin slamming the Iron Lasher into a building, not near Malice.
SFX: BRSSSHHHKTT
CAPTION(Patrick): We have to live through this, bottom line.

SFX: BSHKT

4/ An Iron Phage charges at Toxin from behind, Toxin turning his head around to see it.
IRON PHAGE: HSSSSSS!!!
TOXIN: What the-?!

CAPTION: FRANCE
VENOM: What’s going on?! Update me!
KATE: New York is under attack by some army of symbiotes bonded to armor.
2/ Agent Venom is standing still and Dr. Mackenzie is inspecting him with a microscopic scalpel kind of tool, a high pocketknife basically. Kate is visible in the foreground piloting. The door to the copter is closed, and presumably in flight. The area Agent Venom is standing in has high tech monitors around, right now being used to detect heart rate and graphical data about the symbiote.
VENOM: Any word on civilians?
DR. MACKENZIE: The scan’s all clear. Injecting the sedative again; you have another 48 hours to fix this.
VENOM: I need to know if Betty’s safe.
KATE: Spider-man just saved a large group of people from an attack on the Daily Bugle. There’s video. A few died, and so far there’s been no word that she was hurt.
KATE: I’ll patch you in.
CAPTION(Venom): Twice you’ve saved her before me.
3/ The symbiote is off of Flash’s face, as he’s looking up and over at a monitor which is displaying video feed of an Iron Phage and an Iron Lasher tearing the Daily Bugle apart, they’re both hanging off the side as if they’re climbing, but they’re striking at key structural points.
MONITOR: MASSIVE PANIC AS NEW YORK CITY IS UNDER ATTACK--
4/ Flash’s face, he’s got a look of shock.
FLASH: No…
MONITOR: SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE UNDER ATTACK!
5/ The monitor shows the Daily Bugle collapsing in on itself like a mushroom cloud, the Iron Phage and the Iron Lasher flying away.
MONITOR: THE DAILY BUGLE IS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL BUILDINGS TO FALL!
KATE(OP): We’ll be in the area in a few minutes.

3/ The AIM van smashes onto its side.
SFX: BRAMMM
4/ Close up of CLETUS KASADY slamming onto his side, covered in a straight jacket and a gas mask of some sort (the see-through kind that a doctor puts on you to breathe in a gas before surgery), blood spurting out of his mouth and inside the mask.
CLETUS: HA!!
CLETUS: Got BLOOD outta me FINALLY
5/ The drip of blood is formed like a bony hand, slithering over Cletus’s face, shredding the gas mask and forming CARNAGE.
CLETUS: Bloody bloody blood-blood
CLETUS: GALLONS
CLETUS: OF
CLETUS: BLOOD!!
CLETUS: Hah

CAPTION(Jenna): Didn’t plan to fight more.
3/ The Iron Phage’s arms are ripped off, and the hair tendrils are forming extra strands that stab into their faces/chests.
SCREAM: That poison tastes WONDERFUL.
4/ The Iron Lasher throwing both its whips out toward the cluttered mess of Scream’s hair over the Iron Phages.
