SCOOP: How & Where Hela Invades Earth In The Queen In Black (Spoilers)

We look at how and where Hela invades the Earth in The Queen In Black... and who gets which country (Spoilers)

Bleeding Cool has just revealed a few spoilers about the war at the heart of the upcoming Avengers: Armageddon. But it's not the only war going on at Marvel Comics this summer, the Queen In Black crossover event by Al Ewing and Iban Coellov, pits Hela, the new Queen In Black, against Knull, the former King In Black and god of the symbiotes. But, as well as the cosmic battle that it has been sold as, with everyone forced to take sides, it begins with another war on Earth. Hela, as the Queen In Black, is here on her throne, with her Norse brother Tyr alongside her,  about to launch an all-out alien invasion and assault on Midgard – or is that Earth…

Al Ewing says "Thor is dead and Midgard has forgotten that the Norse Gods ever walked the Earth outside of the myths, has given Hela, Norse Goddess of Death, a golden opportunity… she's starting her plan to take Midgard, as in, Earth, for herself, backed up by an army of Marvel's deadliest alien races all bonded to symbiotes" And that's what we have here, Hela's symbiote forces, a Klyntar army made up of different troops, each troop representing a different alien species hosting their symbiote, the Symbiote Alliance, alongside the Armies of Hel, and each deployed across the Earth, depending on their abilities.  Giza gets the Rigellian troops, with their terrafgirming technology; Pisa gets the Skrulls, full of espionage and infiltration; and Tokyo gets the Mentelloronites, previously seen as kaiju monsters on Earth, such as Orrgo and Zrrgo, for their mass destruction abilities. Basically, Hela hits Tokyo with Venom Godzillas.

London is spared that, instead they get the Chitauri Klyntar because of their communication and coordination skills. While the Kree Klyntar, known for their shock and awe, target New York.

And is that Aunt May they are targeting, currently the focus of Spider-Man lineage questions? I tather think it might be. That is, of course, until someone shoots their gun. Because New York is defended by Spiders…

At the Avengers mansion, the new look Mary Jane Watson: Venom and Tony Stark: Iron Man plan their next moves…

Joined by the new Sorceror Supreme, Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch…

Beta Ray Bill and Hercules convene the Avengers, including Venom and Iron Man…

While Nova is alongside Knull… will choosing Knull over Hela help in the battle over Earth?
