King in Black, a new Marvel event that will drop this December, grows ever closer. As with any event, that means lots of tie-in issues in other series are on the way, and today Marvel has given some new information on those books.
King in Black will be written by Donny Cates and drawn by Ryan Stegman, and will focus on Knull, a Venom villain of their creation earlier this year. In addition to the obvious candidates like Venom, we have learned today that King in Black will infiltrate Black Cat, Immortal Hulk, Spider-Woman and more.
Get the lowdown on the King in Black event books and tie-ins heading our way:
