Knull made a not-so-triumphant return in VENOM #250, the milestone issue by writers Al Ewing and Charles Soule and artists Terry Dodson, Carlos Gomez and Todd Nauck, resurfacing as a helpless prisoner of Hela, now calling herself the QUEEN IN BLACK!

Comic Watch Review:

Queen In Black News:

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.

This is it! The bombastic grand finale! Who will fall? Who will rise? Who will CLAIM THE LIGHT?! Whatever happens, the Marvel Universe will never be the same in Knull #5

Knull has conquered the Lightforce Dimension and left his dastardly eternal mark in SUPERNOVA fashion!

But wait! An enemy he thought he’d eliminated with extreme prejudice is back for more… and he comes UPGRADED for battle this time!

Meanwhile, the newly crowned Queen in Black, HELA OF ASGARD, is beginning to question her strategy against Knull — is it time to activate Plan B?
