  • Executive Meddling: The solicits for the issues go out of their way to hide that Arthur Krane is Carnage, going so far as editorial keeping Ram V in the dark by editorial regarding the event's ending — resulting in Series Continuity Errors between the ending of Extreme Carnage and his Venom and Carnage runs.
  • Fandom Nod:
    • The event canonizes the fan-theory that Cletus' ghost survived being killed by Venom at the end of Absolute Carnage and was controlling the symbiote from inside the Hive-Mind.
    • In treating the Carnage symbiote as the original rather than following through with Donny Cates' statements in Venom that it was not the original Carnage symbiote, the series added additional weight to the long-held fan-theory that the Carnage symbiote can resurrect itself by assimilating other symbiote matter — which originated to explain the discrepency of the replacement symbiote Cletus obtained in the Negative Zone in Webspinners: Tales of Spider-Man #14 being treated as the original Carnage symbiote in subsequent publications.
