It's a busy show at the Diamond Retailer Summit in Las Vega you've been hearing about and following all weekend long on Bleeding Cool. Donny Cates was too busy popping the question at Megacon but he was able to send a message to retailers in Vegas about the upcoming Absolute Carnage event from Marvel for the Venom and Spider books. And that Marvel Comics will be giving away versions of Donny's own tattoos as promotional novelty items alongside the release in August of Absolute Carnage #1

And there was lots more to show off – the titles in June and July that will see Absolute Carnage popping by in the final pages, as we had with Where's Wolverine a couple of years ago… trying to get the remnants of symbiotes left in everyone who has been a host.
