But things just got complicated thanks to the appearance of a mysterious yokaii with incredible power. The fates of the spirit world and the human world hang in the balance. The yokai are at war, and Mariko Yashida, descendent of the Oni King, has to choose a side. Meanwhile, Peach Momoko hurtles towards the cataclysmic conclusion of her epic DEMON WARS saga in DEMON WARS: SCARLET SIN (2023) #1. But when monstrous invaders attack his planet, Groot must accept his heroic destiny! Will this destiny lead him to come to blows with a young Kree soldier by the name of Mar-Vell? Join writer Dan Abnett and artist Damian Couceiro as they reveal never-before-seen moments of Groot's origin and first adventure through the galaxy! This week, Groot also gets to star in his very own series: GROOT (2023) #1. Before he was a Guardian of the Galaxy…before the Grootfall…young Groot lived a life of tranquility on his serene home world. Then, return to the Spider-Verse for more symbiote mayhem in EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE (2023) #1, where Spider-Rex faces the Venomsaurus! Plus: Who is the Spider-Killer?! Zander Cannon introduces the world to the scariest Spider-Character ever created! Bringing your favorite breakout characters back, as well as introducing brand new Spiders who will blow your mind! After her late husband's father, Norman Osborn (maybe you've heard of him?), gets pulled into the chaos and violence swirling around Normie, Liz has no choice but to use the resources at her disposal as the head of Alchemax to take matters into her own hands and become something the Marvel Universe has never seen before in CULT OF CARNAGE: MISERY (2023) #1 by Sabir Pirzada and Francesco Mortarino. But what Liz does know is that the Red Goblin has been active and has been seen very close to her home.

And Carnage won't be the only symbiote catching some action this week! Liz Allan is the mother of Normie Osborn, who she is blissfully unaware is the all-new and all-deadly Red Goblin.
