This December, King in Black will introduce Knull to the majority of the Marvel universe. Created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, Knull returns to the comics world as the Venom all-stars team up on the event, which is shaping up to be quite the ordeal. In addition to the proper King in Black and its associated spin-offs, the House of Ideas is now also “knullifying” covers of other titles throughout the month.

In a release Tuesday afternoon, Marvel revealed it’d be introducing Knullified Variants to ten books released in December, including Black Cat, Black Widow, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Conan the Barbarian, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider: Return of Vengeance, Thor, Venom, and X-Men. Better yet, each cover is done by a different artist, creating the perfect collector’s market for those hoping to get all 10 covers.

“As far as event books go, this is the coolest, darkest, most heavy metal, Cthulhu dark horror thing I’ve ever been able to do,” Cates said of his newest series in the comic’s initial press release. “I still can’t believe that Marvel is letting us go as dark and scary as we’re going.”

Stegman added, “One of the things I’m most proud of in this series… is the creation of the character Knull. We have some new designs that we’ll be unveiling throughout the series that are really cool and really creepy.”
