Earlier this calendar month Wonder teased that "Knull is coming," and now we get it on when and how: December with an event series titled King in Black.

Co-creators Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman reunite after Absolute Slaughter and their Maliciousness work together for Marvel's next Major event following the Empyre, which itself is just days away.

"As far As event books go, this is the coolest, darkest, most heavy metal, Cthulhu dark horror thing I've of all time been able-bodied to do," Cates says in the announcement. "I unmoving can't conceive that Wonder is letting us go as dark and scary atomic number 3 we'rhenium loss."

Knull is the immoral god of the Symbiotes (alien beings known as the Klyntar that bond with host lifeforms, the most famous of which is Eddie Brock/Venom), an evil warrior deity who created the Klyntar and their rivals the Exolons A well as Entirely-Black the Necrosword, an profound artifact in the Thor mythos.

Celebrated for killing other gods, Knull has played an important role in the downpla of writer Donny Cates's ongoing Venom run, with Cates also incorporating Knull into his Atomic number 47 Surfer: Black limited series and Guardians of the Galaxy run.

Here's a picture which accompanied the announcement:

King in Black "conquers the Wonder Universe this December" accordant to the publisher, and will come face-to-face with the Avengers, X-Hands, and of course Eddie Brock/Venom.

"One of the things I'm most gratifying of in this serial publication… is the creation of the character Knull," Stegman says. "We have some new designs that we'll Be launching throughout the serial that are genuinely water-cooled and genuinely offensive."

When asked astir the length of the series yesteryear a first issue, Wonder declined to nail down.
