QUEEN IN BLACK #1

QUEEN IN BLACK spins out of Ewing’s acclaimed work on Venom as well as the new Knull limited series that saw Hela seize Knull’s throne, forcing the God of the Void to claim a new power for himself. Their conflict erupts across the cosmos, coming to a head on Earth where Marvel’s heroes are all that stand in the way of the world being torn asunder by the forces of Light and Dark, both bent on enveloping the universe in their own brand of nothingness! In addition to the core series centered around Spider-Man, Venom, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, and Dylan Brock, new tie-in series will see QUEEN IN BLACK’s impact on other corners of the Marvel Universe.

To celebrate the launch of the summer’s biggest event, QUEEN IN BLACK #1 will be available in Marvel’s new TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS. Following the massive success of Ultimate Endgame #1 and Daredevil #1, TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS give fans a chance to purchase the issue in special sealed bags, but unlike previous TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, QUEEN IN BLACK #1 TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering.

HEL ON EARTH!

On the farthest edges of the solar system, Knull, God of the Void, builds a brand-new army to destroy Earth...but Hela of Asgard might have gotten there first – as she makes planetfall with a legion of the galaxy’s deadliest symbiotes! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war... A cosmic collision of evil versus evil with Venom, Mary Jane and Dylan Brock caught right in the middle!

"The only threat bigger than one evil God is two of them fighting each other, with Earth caught right in the middle,” Ewing shared. “As an old-school ‘60s Marvel villain, Hela's a great match-up against the newer school of Knull, especially given the steps she's been taking to get onto his level. There can only be one winner - but whoever wins, it's the worst news possible for our heroes."

Check out Ryan Stegman’s main cover along with regular, orderable variant covers by Iban Coello, Peach Momoko, Chip Zdarsky, and Skottie Young. Stay tuned in the months ahead for more cover reveals, including those exclusive to TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, along with announcements for QUEEN IN BLACK tie-in series!
