The event comic follows the arrival of Knull, god of the symbiotes, as he cuts a swathe through space on his journey to destroy the Earth. It follows on from Cates and Stegman’s “Venom” run, as well as last year’s event, ‘Absolute Carnage.’
“Captain America, Iron Man, every single X-Men team. It is all hands on deck. What’s even more exciting than that is that none of you, at home, none of you are going to be ready for it,” said Cates. “As far as event books go, this is the coolest, darkest, most heavy metal, Cthulhu dark horror thing I’ve ever been able to do, I still can’t believe that Marvel is letting us go as dark and scary as we’re going.”
“One of the things I’m most proud of in this series… is the creation of the character Knull,” Stegman said. “We have some new designs that we’ll be unveiling throughout the series that are really cool and really creepy.”
“King in Black” #1 releases this December — no other tie-ins or core issues have been announced as of yet.
