Knull #1
Weakened from his last death, trapped by the enemy he never expected, the God of the Void waits in a cage once again. His captors think Knull has nothing to fight back with — but in Knull’s hands, nothing is a weapon.
And there’s a greater weapon out there, waiting for the King in Black to take it… and take his revenge.
