King in Black: A Marvel Comics Full Review



"King in Black" is a Marvel Comics event that was published from December 2020 to April 2021. It is written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Ryan Stegman. The event follows the story of Knull, the god of the symbiotes, as he invades Earth with his army of symbiote dragons and tries to take over the planet. The event ties in with several ongoing series in the Marvel Universe, including Venom, Spider-Man, and the Avengers.

The event starts with the arrival of Knull on Earth, as he brings his army of symbiote dragons to conquer the planet. The heroes of the Marvel Universe, including Venom, Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the X-Men, band together to fight back against Knull and his army. Along the way, they discover that Knull is not just a god of the symbiotes but also the creator of the universe and the source of all darkness. Knull's ultimate goal is to destroy the universe and recreate it in his image.

The story of "King in Black" is action-packed and full of epic battles between the heroes and Knull's army. The artwork by Ryan Stegman is top-notch, with detailed and dynamic illustrations that bring the story to life. The writing by Donny Cates is also excellent, with a strong understanding of the characters and their motivations. Cates can balance the epic scope of the event with the smaller character moments, making the story feel grounded and emotionally resonant.

One of the standout moments of the event is the transformation of Eddie Brock, the host of the Venom symbiote, into a god-like being known as Venom the King in Black. Eddie gains immense power from Knull's codex, which allows him to fight on an equal level with Knull himself. The transformation is a visually stunning moment, with Eddie's symbiote turning completely black and his eyes glowing with power. It's a fitting culmination of Eddie's journey as Venom, as he becomes the hero he was always meant to be.

The event also features several other memorable moments, such as the battle between the Avengers and Knull's dragon army in New York City, the X-Men's fight against Knull's symbiote-infected mutants on Krakoa, and the showdown between Eddie Brock and Knull in the final issue of the event. Each of these moments is filled with action and drama as the heroes fight for the fate of the universe.

In addition to the main "King in Black" series, the event also includes several tie-in issues that explore different corners of the Marvel Universe during the invasion. These tie-ins include issues of Venom, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more. While not all of the tie-ins are essential to the main story, they do add depth and complexity to the event, showing how the invasion affects different characters and teams.

Overall, "King in Black" is a fantastic event that delivers on its promise of an epic battle between the heroes of the Marvel Universe and the god of the symbiotes. The story is well-written and well-illustrated, with several standout moments that will stay with readers long after they finish reading. If you're a fan of Marvel Comics or just looking for a thrilling superhero story, "King in Black" is worth checking out.
