Marvel Comics' Queen In Black August 2026 Solicits With Dylan Brock...

 

The series launches properly in July, we've seen all the Queen In Black solicits for that month, and now here comes August…. with big toles for Dylan Brock, the Fantastic Four and… the Fantastic Five.

"Hela has seized Knull's throne and now commands a legion of deadly symbiotes as the QUEEN IN BLACK! Meanwhile, Knull has conquered the Lightforce Dimension, claiming terrifying new power for himself as the GOD OF THE VOID! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war, and Earth is the final prize! Essential event tie-ins include QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK, a limited series following two strike teams assembled by Iron Man and Beta Ray Bill to take down Hela and Knull; QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA and QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR, dual one-shots set in Asgard revealing how Hela overthrew Knull and Thor's role in the conflict; QUEEN IN BLACK: VENOM UNCHAINED, a limited series starring Eddie Brock who must escape prison before joining the fight; and upcoming issues of VENOM, which deliver key insights into Venom, Dylan Brock and Mary Jane's transformative journeys throughout the saga."

"I'm writing a couple of specials – in QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA, Karnilla of the Norns tells the tale of how Hela started all this, and which forgotten Thor tried to prevent it. QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR, meanwhile, is a tale of Beta Ray Bill and the Mortal Thor, Sigurd Jarlson—how they react to Hela, and how Hela reacts to them. And finally, in VENOM, we get to see the war against Hela from the point of view of the characters in that book—Dylan, Mary Jane, and obviously the Venom symbiote himself. It'll be a fun time!" – Al Ewing
