The story revolves around Eddie Brock, also known as Venom, who is on the run with his son Dylan. They are being chased by Carnage, a powerful villain who is trying to consume the DNA of anyone who has possessed a symbiote. Carnage is revealed to be the adopted son of a cult that wants to reconnect with the ancient god Null. Eddie seeks the help of Spider-Man and the Avengers to stop Carnage.
As the story unfolds, it is revealed that Carnage is trying to collect the codexes of past symbiotes to become stronger. Eddie and Spider-Man team up with Reed Richards, a sinister version from the multiverse, to stop Carnage. They use a machine to extract the codexes from the symbiotes, but Carnage absorbs the symbiotes and becomes even more powerful.
In a final confrontation, Eddie and Carnage engage in a fierce battle. Carnage reveals that he will either kill Eddie's son and wake up the ancient god Null, or Eddie will kill him and take back his symbiote, completing the circle and preventing Null's awakening. The story ends with a cliffhanger, as Null's awakening is imminent, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Throughout the story, there are also hints at a deeper conspiracy and a complex web of relationships between the characters, including the revelation that Dylan is Eddie's son, and that Peter Parker (Spider-Man) knows more about the situation than he lets on.
