Today, Marvel Comics reveals new QUEEN IN BLACK #1 variant covers, including regular orderable covers by J. Scott Campbell, Jeehyung Lee, John Romita Jr., and Pat Gleason, the latest in his hit “Webhead” variant covers. Also revealed today are new True Believers Blind Bag exclusive covers by Artgerm and Gurihiru. Other blind bag exclusives include a virgin edition of Jeehyung Lee’s variant cover, an alternate “Webhead” cover by Pat Gleason that will be revealed at a later date, and the previously shown promotional image by David Marquez, which will be presented as two connecting covers.

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… with Venom, Mary Jane, Dylan Brock and the entire Marvel super hero pantheon 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."
