About the series
In 2021, Marvel unleashed King in Black, a five-issue event series written by Donny Cates with art by Ryan Stegman. The story brings the symbiotic god Knull to Earth, forcing heroes like Spider-Man, Cyclops, and the Venom family—Eddie and Dylan Brock—into a desperate battle that reshapes the Marvel Universe. A dark, epic culmination of Cates and Stegman's long-running Venom saga, it matters for its visceral stakes and the lasting consequences it imposes on its cast.
