Hela and Knull wage war over the Marvel Universe this summer in Queen in Black, a new crossover event from Al Ewing and Iban Coello. But when Hela’s army of symbiotes and Knull’s forces of light arrive to conquer Earth, they’ll be met by two new super hero teams specifically assembled for their destruction in Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark, a three-issue tie-in series by writer Tom Waltz, currently writing one of the event’s key lead-in chapters in Knull, and artist Zé Carlos, who will also draw sequences in the main Queen in Black series.

Spinning directly out of Queen in Black #1, Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark follows two daring and pivotal confrontations with the Queen in Black and God of the Void themselves as BETA RAY BILL leads PHOTON, SUNFIRE and DAGGER to cast a light against Hela’s sweeping darkness while IRON MAN, equipped in new Darkforce armor, leads DARKSTAR, AGENT ANTI-VENOM and CLOAK to snuff out Knull’s all-encompassing light.

UNLEASH THE HEROES!

Beta Ray Bill is the only hero in Midgard who remembers Hela, the Goddess of Death…but does that mean he and his team can counter a Queen In Black? Meanwhile, Tony Stark’s all-new Black Metal Armor is the ultimate weapon against Knull, God of the Void…but does he have command of his own defense squad? It’s the mission that’ll decide the outcome of the entire conflict!
