King In Black Closer To Finale – Mephisto, Beta Ray Bill, The Watcher

Yes! King In Black is still going! And because the finale King In Black #5 is delayed, everything else is stretching out a little. And some tiles can't wait and have moved on.

Queen Cat summarised what went down in Black Cat #5 as the time when "the sky turned black, and the world fell apart." Still ongoing for other titles…

King In Black: Ghost Rider sees Johnny Blaze trying to keep things together with Mephisto, Hell, Lilith, and all the other plotlines dropped by the series around this time last year…

While in King In Black: Valkyries #4, they are fighting Knull on a different plane indeed.

And King In Black: Symbiote Spider-Man deals with Knull decades before…

While The Watcher plans for the future by talking to himself.

Beta Ray Bill launches his own title from Daniel Warren Johnson, with an alien God Of Thunder who has been making his own plans for some time as well.

But they mostly seem to revolve around killing black Knull symbiote dragons as well.

Mephisto, in Ghost Rider, is making his own plans too,

"Dispose." Like that was ever going to happen.

Is he setting up The King In Black II? The King Of Hell In Black?

I bought my copies from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, with an extensive back issue collection and online store. With a new store planned for Watford, if you are in the neighbourhood, check them out. Call ahead; they are offering curbside service for the next two weeks until non-essential retail stores open up.
