Hela and Knull Collide in Marvel's Summer Event 'Queen in Black'

Marvel's next major comics event pits two evil gods against each other with Earth in the middle. Queen in Black, a 5-issue series by Al Ewing and Iban Coello, arrives July 1, 2026.

When one evil god isn't enough, Marvel gives you two. Queen in Black, a 5-issue event series, launches July 1, 2026, bringing Hela and Knull into direct conflict.

Two Gods, One Doomed Planet

Written by Al Ewing and drawn by Iban Coello, the series spins from Ewing's Venom (2025) and Knull (2026). Knull, the God of the Void, masses an army to destroy Earth. But Hela makes planetfall first with the deadliest symbiotes ever assembled.

"The only threat bigger than one evil God is two of them fighting each other, with Earth caught right in the middle." — Al Ewing
