Queen In Black Spoilers For Venom, Mary Jane And A New King In Black

Queen In Black Spoilers for Venom, Mary Jane and a New King In Black, today from Marvel Comics

Today sees the finale of the Queen In Black event, with four intertwining comics setting up the future of Venom, Mary Jane, Dylan, Sleeper, Hela, Knull, the lot of them. Queen In Black #5 by Al Ewing, Iban Coello and Paco Medina, Queen In Black: Venom Unchained #3 by Charles Soule and Juanan Ramirez, Jethro Morales, Venom #262 by Al Ewing, and Carlos Gomez and The Amazing Venom #1 by Jordan Morris and Luke Ross. Probably best read in that order… especially the last one.

As The Amazing Venom #1 basically recaps the whole Queen In Black, including the ending as well as what happens next. While the others choose to go from the moment that the Earth becomes Venomworld…

As the entire Earth becomes the host for the Venom symbiote, with eight billion humans running the show to deal with an incoming Knull… former King In Black and god of the symbiotes. So how is it looking?

It's looking like New York. Some of it.

But there are similar concerns all over the place as to how this is actually going to work.

So many minds working together, but also divided…

Basically held together by string, sticky tape and symbiote goo…

Who did this? Three guesses. Mary Jane Watson. Oh also Venom. Same thing right now.

And this is the battle, between Mary Jane, Venom and Venomworld against Knull…

… from two different perspectives…

… it's the huge amount of triviality thet beats him.

But it looks like they might need some help, as Eddie Brock and Sleeper try to hold it all together…

But it has a bigger effect both above…

…and below…

And as Venom says goodbye to Sleeper as the future heads towards them both…

So Sleeper takes the throne. As it always intended to. Welcome to the new King In Black.

Or should that be The Cat In The Crown? As we learn what is to happen next…

The symbiotes return to Klyntar…

… if they want to, that is.

Or, indeed, are able to.

And as for Mary Jane Watson? Now separated from Venom, Mary Jane is fit and fine, even if no one knows where Venom is now…

And she may never be the same again. Worth breaking out the Jackpot gauntlets again?

And it seems that Venom is out there somewhere… but where?

Venom has found a new host. By random or by choice? Well…

… I'd say this was a choice, wouldn't you?

…in the end?

Eddie Brock is Venom. Sleeper is the King In Black. Mary Jane is back to being Mary Jane. And there are far fewer symbiotes on Earth now… four at the current count. Venom, Carnage, Passenger and Dylan Brock. Maybe more? Queen In Black #5 by Al Ewing, Iban Coello and Paco Medina, Queen In Black: Venom Unchained #3 by Charles Soule and Juanan Ramirez, Jethro Morales, Venom #262 by Al Ewing, and Carlos Gomez and The Amazing Venom #1 by Jordan Morris and Luke Ross are all published today.

  THE KING IS BACK? Eddie Brock was the King in Black… right up until he wasn't. It was him vacating the throne that led to the return of Knull and Hela's rise as Queen in Black. Can he make up for his mistake? Could he take back the crown as god of symbiotes?$4.99 9/30/26
