I was rereading Superior Carnage, and it just hit me that Karl Malus's survival and rebirth as a human-symbiote hybrid (at least, as it's explained on his page here) makes zero sense.

Malus's page states that he was eaten by Carnage and "gestated inside [the symbiote's] digestive track and emerged as a Human/Symbiote hybrid".

However, in Superior Carnage Vol. 1 #5, Malus was eaten off-panel by Carnage (Bentley Wittman), with the amount of blood being spattered everywhere indicating that it was very gruesome. The symbiote was then separated from the Wizard and returned to Cletus Kasady before being separated again and taken into Spider-Man's custody. In Superior Carnage Annual, all of the Carnage symbiote save for a small tissue sample died. In between those, the symbiote was shown in liquid/amorphous form, with no indication of Malus being in whatever passes for its digestive tract when it's in an amorphous state.

All this leaves me questioning how and at what point Malus was supposed to have been reborn? Are there some crucial details missing?
