Posted on by

This summer, Hela isn’t the only one coming for Knull’s throne. New Knullbuster Variant Covers introduce the King in Black’s worst nightmare: five iconic Marvel heroes donning symbiote slaying armor! The new covers come from some of the industry’s boldest artists including Luciano Vecchio, Gurihiru, David Baldeón, Clayton Crain, and Zulema Scotto Lavina. The pieces reimagine Black Cat, Doctor Doom, Jeff the Land Shark, Punisher and Deadpool in cosmically enhanced suits specifically designed to end Knull’s latest reign of terror!

Queen in Black, a new crossover event from Al Ewing and Iban Coello, launches this July. Knull and Hela’s conflict erupts across the cosmos, coming to a head on Earth where Marvel’s heroes are all that stand in the way of the world being torn asunder by the forces of Light and Dark, both bent on enveloping the universe in their own brand of nothingness. In addition to the core series, the saga will be told across recently announced tie-in series including Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark where Iron Man debuts his own Knullbuster suit—the Black Metal Armor!

Doctor Doom Journeys to the End of Time and Space to Claim his Crowing Glory in Doomquest!

Posted on by

This May, behold what makes Doctor Doom Marvel’s greatest supervillain in Doomquest, a ten-issue maxi-series written by current Fantastic Four scribe Ryan North, following his masterful work on Doom in One World Under Doom, and acclaimed artist Francesco Mobili.

No one in Marvel Comics history has had greater triumphs—or more bitter defeats—than Doctor Doom. Now, see him embark on his most ambitious quest yet in this definitive new Doom saga from two industry superstars. A standalone, evergreen story, Doomquest provides a perfect introduction and all-encompassing exploration of the character as he journeys through time to achieve glory for Latveria—and the ultimate victory over his archenemy Reed Richards! It’s a wild and adventurous odyssey that takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across the edges of reality, into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else, and beyond! Fans can get a sneak peek at the series by picking up Armageddon/X-Men #1 CGD 2026 on May 2, Comics Giveaway Day, at their participating local comic shop.

THE DAYS OF DOOM!

Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation.  He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards – Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival – is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.

Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space! 

Check out Alex Ross’ cover for the debut issue along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso, Nic Klein, John Romita Jr., and an homage variant cover of Invincible Iron Man #149 by Luciano Vecchio. Doomquest #1 will also feature a Foil Variant Cover by Ryan Stegman and variant covers by Rose Besch, MR Garcin and Pete Woods. Preorder the series at your local comic shop today!
