Their conflict erupts across the cosmos, coming to a head on Earth where Marvel’s heroes are all that stand in the way of the world being torn asunder by the forces of Light and Dark, both bent on enveloping the universe in their own brand of nothingness!
In addition to the core series centered around Spider-Man, Venom, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, and Dylan Brock, new tie-in series will see QUEEN IN BLACK’s impact on other corners of the Marvel Universe.
