As Beta Ray Bill battles Hela at the edge of space, he considers his role as the heir of Thor's story… little dreaming that the story continues with Sigurd Jarlson or that the Death-Goddess has plans for the Mortal Thor.

: QUEEN IN BLACK: Thor

"Hela and Knull's cosmic collision unleashes HEL ON EARTH in QUEEN IN BLACK, a new crossover event from Venom writer Al Ewing and superstar artist Iban Coello. Kicking off in July, the event will be told across a five-issue main series as well key tie-ins like the recently announced QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK limited series and two one-shots from Ewing himself: QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA #1 and QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1."

"Representing Asgard's role in the event, the two one-shots will deliver pivotal chapters for the overall QUEEN IN BLACK saga and significantly impact Ewing's current Thor run. With art by Carlos Magno, QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA #1 will reveal just how Hela rose to the throne, including her vicious takedown of Knull that led to the current Knull limited series. The one-shot takes place during the Immortal Thor era of Ewing's run, while QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1, drawn by artist Sergio Davila, takes place in the present Mortal Thor era and sees Hela target the mysterious mortal Sigurd Jarlson, who may be the one hero worthy of ending her reign…"
