Knull Comes To Earth In More Marvel Comics Than Expected (Spoilers)

No one should be surprised by the appearance of Knull and his symbiote army in today's Web Of Venom: Empyre's End. The comic book was promoted as joining up the plotlines of Empyre and The King In Black, which both saw space armadas heading towards and attacking Earth. It's just that the Skrull and Kree Alliance got there first. But they are starting to release that Knull Is Coming, and he is taking over planet to planet as he and his symbiote travel…

Loss of communications? That reminds me of a certain other alien-focused franchise that Marvel has recently acquired the license to.

And I think that Marvel might notice the Ridley Scott/James Cameron links here as well. With a team of names Kree and Skrull with various ties to the Marvel Universe. A very motley crew…

Who, open opening an egg pod, will be hunted down and picked off one by one…

So, the arrival of Knull should be no surprise. But this story is also told in another comic book, also dealing with the effects of Empyre, Guardians Of The Galaxy #8.

It seems to be a common galactic experience right now – and once again, it's all Earth's fault…
