Marvel’s Queen in Black event, which I should probably note hasn’t even started yet in the real world, will end in September. And now we know how it will end, thanks to Marvel’s solicits for the main event title and spinoff series for the beginning of fall.
In the event, Knull and Hela are battling for control of Earth, and Earth is losing, turning into what Marvel is calling Venomworld, aka a planet that’s all symbiotes, baby. Not only will that happen in Queen in Black #4 and #5, both of which debut in September, but also in Venom #262, Venom Unchained #3, Defenders of Light and Dark #4, and Black Cat #14.
Want to know more? Check out the covers and synopses below, and muse aloud that maybe this isn’t the best way of releasing comic books when you know the ending before the thing has even started.
