Celebrate the King in Black’s return with Knullified Variant Covers

Posted on by

The King in Black is back! Knull made his long-dreaded return last month in Venom #250 and will headline his first-ever solo series this January, each paving the way for “Queen in Black,” an epic symbiote event coming next year. To celebrate the iconic supervillain’s resurgence, a new collection of Knullified Variant Covers will hit stands in December. Drawn by today’s leading artists, these new pieces twist your favorite heroes into dark versions of the God of Symbiotes!

Emerging from the void during Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s seminal run, Knull became the comic book supervillain of the decade, headlining the 2020 crossover, King in Black. It took the combined might of Marvel’s greatest heroes to stop him and his symbiote army from conquering Earth. Now, he begins a new reign of terror, but first, he must reclaim his throne from a startling usurper—Hela, the newly proclaimed QUEEN IN BLACK! Follow his path of destruction to amass new power in Knull, a five-issue limited series by current Venom scribe Al Ewing, writer Tom Waltz, and symbiote superstar Juanan Ramirez.

Check out 19 of the 20 Knullified Variant Covers and preorder them along with Knull #1 at your local comic shop today!

Cul-De-Sac #1 has a great concept and is a solid story but the art is very inconsistent

Posted on by

What lurking evil lies hidden at the end of the cul-de-sac? Nestled in a tucked-away corner of sleepy suburbia, the Kingsley, Herriman and Ortega families seemed like any other close-knit neighbors. So nothing seems amiss when Mrs. Kingsley piles all the neighborhood kids into the family RV for their annual summer camp-out. But in the dark of the woods, she unleashes a grisly, bloodcurdling display, revealing their families’ shocking secret—their parents are vampires and they’re eager to pass on their legacy.
