This summer, Marvel Comics is dialing the chaos all the way up with Queen in Black, a new five-issue crossover event that promises a full-on cosmic clash — with Earth stuck squarely in the danger zone.
Written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Iban Coello, Queen in Black #1 launches a story that pits two of Marvel’s most formidable forces against each other: Knull, the God of the Void, and Hela, the Asgardian ruler of the dead. When these two collide, it’s less “battle” and more “apocalyptic inevitability.”

The release is part of a larger April Fool’s Day celebration that will also include merchandise, digital content, and other surprises centered around everyone’s favorite fourth-wall-breaking antihero.
