King in Black (2020)

[MyriVerse]

can we get a count of how many people have been ripped in half in Marvel?

Carnage, Wolverine, Ares, spoilers:

Sentry

end of spoilers

Vision was ripped apart before it was fashionable.

[MyriVerse]

When Cates was writing Loki as Sorcerer Supreme and The Void possessed Strange, it behaved very Symbiote-like. What with possessing him and the way it acted was even similar to Knull. I do hope its touched upon.

Knull reminds me a lot of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, too.

Except even worse as a concept.

Bro, realized that when I was reading the issue. A primordial, darkness from the beginning of the universe who wants to snuff out all life in the universe, where have I heard that before? Now, I think Cates has done a great job with the execution, but Knull seems similar to other beings.

Folks, Bob is not being killed off. xD

Traditional death is a minor inconvenience for him /at best/. xD

[Jabare]

was he absorbed by Knull?

[Tendrin]

This is exactly what I thought was going to happen!

I thought the Void was going to revealed as Knull trying to poison one of the strongest Earth heroes

If I had to connect them, I woiuld have suggested that the Void is named itself for Bob having, thorugh his telepathy, 'sensed' Knull on a subconscious level. The Void is the Void, and its name is more of allusion to the emptyness of addiction, but if I *had* to connect them, that's how I'd do it. (And I'd suggest Bob's over the top kill of Carnage was from the same, an instinctive if not intellectual awareness of the same.)

[Tendrin]

was he absorbed by Knull?

The Void was, seemingly. When Knull ripped Bob open, the Void bowed to Knull and added to his power. It's why the Sentry's 'insides' were actually like void tentacles and such.

Edit: also, watch the change to Knull's eyes.

I mean Knull is apparently a complete ripoff of Mikaboshi (except Mikaboshi had greater feats IMO & did multiple universes) and this story is starting off as a carbon copy of Chaos War. It makes no sense that the Gods of Earth are not intervening in an attack by an alien god. Not as impressed by this as most everyone else is apparently.

And let's not forget Nyx, a primordial goddess of night and darkness introduced to the comics in Avengers: No Road Home last year or so. Still trying to think of a way to connect them all.

Honestly, Mikaboshi to me was far more boring than Knull. Like if people complain that Knull has no personality and is "generic darkness bad guy" then Mikaboshi/Chaos King is even worse. He doesn't even have a design as engaging as Knull.

I would argue the primordial darkness is a force of nature and should not have a personality like a normal character.

I dunno man, Mikaboshi was pretty cool in Oeming's Aries miniseries too.

Wasn't the dark winter from Thor's book kind of the same deal.

[Besouro]

To the shock of no one, Knull one shots everyone. Dylan is the last line of defense.

Also shows how unprepared the Avengers were.

Can someone please tell me who this Dylan is?

[kalai]

Can someone please tell me who this Dylan is?

Eddie Brock's son, he has the power to control symbiotes similar to those of Knull.
In Venom Beyond, Dylan of that world took over the whole Earth.
In that world he is like a herald of Knull.
