How Do You Kill Knull In Today's King In Black Crossovers? (Spoilers)
It's Knull time. Donny Cates set this up a few years ago in Venom #4… that the abandoned Celestial head known as Knowhere, turned into a space station for many, was from a Celestial beheaded by Knull in the earliest of times.
Cates confirmed this, tweeting "The severed celestial head in VENOM #4 would someday erode and decay and become Knowhere!" And today's Return Of The Valkyries makes that text.
But this story also looks at what happened to the body of the first Celestial, as well as his head.
The Valkyries are rather dismissive. Well, Knull is not one of their Gods, is he? And it may be a way to take him down. Though Dani Moonstar goes for a more direct approach.
Berating Knull for being a poor god. Speaking truth to power? Or just being an irritant gnat?
Because everyone is trying to chat to Knull today. Spider-Gwen is fighting a Mary Jane Carnage – Marnage? Who has her own way of constructing an axe,
It's enough to call Knull down from the heavens, such as they are.
Knull must have a lot on his plate, as well as talking to Spider-Gwen and Danielle Moonstar, he has a chat with the Black Knight as well.
As we get more Knull history there…
And more recent history too.
While in Venom, Eddie Brock has a more explosive communication with Knull.
Many things… you know, that Jarnbjoirn axe that can cut through Celestials, wielded by the son of the Phoenix might be good around now.
Or a Flash bomb might do the same… of course leave it to Kitty Pryde in full Bisexual TikTok Pirate gear to say what everyone is thinking.
Yeah, he really does.
