July is gonna be hot, sticky, and filled with goop. That’s because Marvel has revealed the July 2026 solicits for their Queen in Black event, the second month of the crossover that pits Hela against Knull for control of the Earth.
Alongside previously revealed titles like the Defenders of Light and Dark miniseries, and two one-shots focusing on Hela and Thor, Marvel is also pulling the goop curtain back on the second issue of Queen in Black, as well as some Venom tie-ins.
“One of the joys of QUEEN IN BLACK is going big and weird with symbiotes and aliens…and they don’t come much bigger and weirder than the Symbiote Intelligence!” writer Al Ewing teased via press release
