This summer, Queen in Black writer Al Ewing delivers two pivotal tie-in one-shots, QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA #1, on sale in July with art by Carlos Magno, and QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1, on sale in August with art by Sergio Davila.
Hela and Knull’s cosmic collision unleashes HEL ON EARTH in QUEEN IN BLACK, a new crossover event from Venom writer Al Ewing and superstar artist Iban Coello. Kicking off in July, the event will be told across a five-issue main series as well key tie-ins like the recently announced QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK limited series and two one-shots from Ewing himself: QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA #1 and QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1.
Representing Asgard’s role in the event, the two one-shots will deliver pivotal chapters for the overall QUEEN IN BLACK saga and significantly impact Ewing’s current Thor run. With art by Carlos Magno, QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA #1 will reveal just how Hela rose to the throne, including her vicious takedown of Knull that led to the current Knull limited series. The one-shot takes place during the Immortal Thor era of Ewing’s run, while QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1, drawn by artist Sergio Davila, takes place in the present Mortal Thor era and sees Hela target the mysterious mortal Sigurd Jarlson, who may be the one hero worthy of ending her reign…
THE QUEEN TAKES HER THRONE!
All the secrets of the Queen in Black – revealed in QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA! Why were Hela and Tyr in Midgard when the Rainbow Bridge fell? How did she cage Knull, God of the Void? And which Thor tried to stop her? Balder the Brave seeks the answers from Karnilla of the Norns… but will he live to tell anyone else?
Then in QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR, as Beta Ray Bill battles Hela at the edge of space, he considers his role as the heir of Thor’s story… little dreaming that the story continues with Sigurd Jarlson or that the Death-Goddess has plans for the Mortal Thor. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer is about to face the ultimate test.
Check out the connecting covers for QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA and QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR and stay tuned for more Queen in Black news in the days ahead.
