Behold Hel on Earth in this week’s Marvel Comics!
On the farthest edges of the solar system, Knull, God of the Void, builds a brand-new army to destroy Earth… but Hela of Asgard might have gotten there first—as she makes planetfall with a legion of the galaxy’s deadliest symbiotes in QUEEN IN BLACK (2026) #1! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war… and the son of Venom is caught right in the middle! Writer Al Ewing and Iban Coello—the team behind VENOM WAR (2024)—bring you a cosmic collision of evil versus evil with the good caught in the middle!
See Hela’s symbiote army descend on Earth in QUEEN IN BLACK (2026) #1, on sale this Wednesday, July 29!
The Queen takes her throne in QUEEN IN BLACK: HELA (2026) #1 by Al Ewing and Carlos Magno! All the secrets of the Queen in Black—revealed! 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?
Meanwhile, in Al Ewing, Tom Waltz, and Ze Carlos’ QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK (2026) #1, Beta Ray Bill is the only hero in Midgard who remembers Hela, the Goddess of Death… but does that mean he and his team can counter a Queen in Black? Meanwhile, Tony Stark’s all-new Black Metal Armor is the ultimate weapon against Knull, God of the Void… but does he have command of his own defense squad? This all leads to the mission that’ll decide the outcome of the QUEEN IN BLACK saga!
Then, blast off into a cosmos of colossal adventure as Marvel celebrates half a century of Rocket Raccoon in ROCKET RACCOON: ROCKET REWIND (2026) #1! This anniversary spectacular takes you on brand-new, star-spanning exploits, a jaw-dropping team-up with the one and only… Rocky Raccoon? And re-presenting the historic first tale that launched our blaster-happy hero into legend! Packed with pulse-pounding action, cosmic calamity and enough firepower to make Galactus blink! Don’t miss the milestone that proves big things come in small, furry packages! ‘Nuff said!
Meanwhile, what if Kraven survived his “Last Hunt,” leaving Spider-Man broken, insane, and vulnerable to the influence of an old enemy… and who better to fill the void left by the spider than Kraven the Hunter?! One way or another, both Kraven and Peter will become something more—and finally settle the score between them—in WHAT IF…? SPIDER-MAN (2026) #1! The author of the greatest Spider-Man story of all time, J.M. DeMatteis, returns for a bold reimagining of the aftermath of “Kraven’s Last Hunt” with artist Yildiray Cinar!
Additionally, when a deadly Yautja crash-lands on the legendary Planet of the Apes, two worlds will collide for the very first time in Greg Pak and Alan Robinson’s PREDATOR VS. THE PLANET OF THE APES (2026) #1! After a rescue mission gone wrong, astronaut Arch finds herself embedded in a hostile ape society where humans are subservient. But the hunters soon became the hunted when the apes find themselves being stalked by Predators! A three-way war is about to erupt between humans, apes and Yautja—who will reign supreme?!
