Queen In Black: The Light and the Dark

Hela’s dark influence spreads across Earth, threatening Venom, Thor, and a host of Marvel’s greatest heroes. Following the disastrous collapse of his bond with Carnage, Eddie Brock finds himself trapped in a prison cell just as the Goddess of Death launches her invasion. Desperate to reunite with Venom, Eddie faces an impossible challenge: escaping confinement without the aid of a symbiote. Meanwhile, Beta Ray Bill stands alone as the only hero on Midgard who still remembers Hela’s true identity. As the world descends into chaos, he must determine whether this forgotten knowledge is enough to help his allies confront a newly empowered Queen in Black. The stakes escalate further when Tony Stark deploys his experimental Black Metal Armor, designed as the ultimate countermeasure against Knull, the God of the Void. Yet even with such formidable power, commanding his own squad proves to be a daunting task. The fate of the planet rests precariously in the hands of the Defenders of Light and Dark. Complicating matters, while humanity has forgotten the original God of Thunder, Hela has sinister designs for Sigurd Jarlson—the entirely mortal version of Thor—ensuring no hero is spared from her reach.
