‘Knull’ Brings The King In Black Back For His Own Miniseries

The King in Black is back. After Knull’s return in October’s Venom #250, the baddie will spin off into his own solo miniseries, beginning in January. The five-issue Marvel series will be written by Venom writer Al Ewing, alongside Tom Waltz, with art by Juanan Ramirez.

“When super-editor Jordan White reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in collaborating with fellow writer Al Ewing on the new Knull series, I couldn’t jump at the chance fast enough,” Waltz said via press release. “Besides working alongside Al, who is an absolutely fantastic and steady talent, the kicker for me was getting to play with such an amazing character with such untapped potential as Knull. The King in Black has once again risen up out of the void to cause delicious havoc and mayhem across the universe, and we’ve got surprises a’plenty in store, my friends. And just wait until everyone sees Juanan Ramirez’s darkly bombastic artwork — WOW!”

Added Ramirez, “Drawing the God of Symbiote hits hard right from page one. Tom and Al are totally to blame for how much fun I’m having working on this. I hope readers are ready to dive into something absolutely WILD!”

In the series, Knull is back in the game after his defeat in the King in Black crossover in 2020. And he’s on the hunt for a new weapon that will let him defeat the one who has taken his throne. Oh, and it’s all leading up to a “symbiote epic coming in 2026.”

You can check out the synopsis and cover below. Knull #1 hits stores on January 14, 2026.

RETURN OF THE KING!

Weakened from his last death, trapped by the enemy he never expected, the God of the Void waits in a cage once again. His captors think Knull has nothing to fight back with — but in Knull’s hands, nothing is a weapon. And there’s a greater weapon out there, waiting for the King in Black to take it… and take his revenge.
