The Amazing Spider-Man #362, published by Marvel Comics in May 1992. It is the second part of a story arc that features the characters Spider-Man, Venom, and Carnage.

The comic's plot follows Spider-Man as he seeks help from Venom to combat the new villain, Carnage. The cover art, by Mark Bagley and Randy Emberlin, shows Spider-Man and Venom in a dynamic battle against Carnage. The story continues from Carnage's debut in issue #361. Carnage, who is the "offspring" of the Venom symbiote, proves to be a more powerful and chaotic opponent than both Spider-Man and Venom combined, forcing them into an unlikely alliance.

The comic's story is known for establishing the fierce rivalry between Venom and Carnage and setting a precedent for the two to team up against the more dangerous foe. The issue also includes a cameo appearance by the Human Torch. The events in this comic eventually lead to the "Maximum Carnage" storyline.
