Queen in Black is back on the attack and you don’t know that. Well, now you do know that, as we’ve got Marvel’s August solicits for the titles tying into this Summer’s big goopy event.
In the third month of the event, we’re getting Queen in Black #3, of course, as Hela (leading the side of the dark) and Knull (leading the side of light) battle across the Earth, with the Venom and Spider-heroes (and others) caught in the middle. Other titles highlighted include miniseries Defenders of Light and Dark, Venom Unchained, a one-shot focusing on Thor, and the ongoing Venom series.
And the big deal in August is the return of Dylan Brock, as well as the return of the Fantastic… Five?
Read on for the full Marvel August 2026 Queen in Black solicits, with covers and released dates.
