Knull Returns in 'Venom' #250
This October, the giant-sized 250th issue of 'Venom' arrives with stories by Al Ewing, Charles Soule, Carlos Gomez and more, including one that marks the return of the creator of all symbiotes, Knull!

To celebrate 616 Day, Marvel Comics is thrilled to announce that the landmark 250th issue of VENOM hits stands in October and features the return of KNULL, Venom's greatest enemy!

Written by current ALL-NEW VENOM (2024) scribe Al Ewing and drawn by superstar artist Terry Dodson, VENOM #250 kicks off a major symbiote saga where Knull, the god of symbiotes, seeks revenge on Venom, who is currently bonded to Mary Jane Watson! Debuting in Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s seminal run of VENOM back in 2018, Knull immediately took a spot amongst Marvel's most feared and legendary supervillains, going on to headline his own crossover event as the KING IN BLACK and even making his big screen debut in last year’s Venom: The Last Dance. Now, he’s back with a vengeance, and Mary Jane has no idea what’s in store!

The giant-sized celebratory issue will also feature a tale by EDDIE BROCK: CARNAGE writer Charles Soule and ALL-NEW VENOM artist Carlos Gomez set during Eddie Brock’s time as Venom. Plus, following the issue, ALL-NEW VENOM remains VENOM once more, continuing on with the legacy numbering with VENOM #251!

THE RETURN OF KNULL!
Mary Jane Watson is finally in the swing of things as the new Venom host, using their powers in all-new ways to be the hero the symbiote never knew it could be! But as she cleans up the streets of New York, she remains blissfully unaware of the strands of darkness leading off into the darkness of the void. Knull, the creator of all symbiotes, was killed by Eddie Brock. Nothing could bring him back… but Knull rules over nothing. Knull has returned, and word is racing across the stars to the one who took him down before to prepare to do it again. Will Venom be ready?

On Knull's appeal, Ewing said, "When Donny and Ryan brought Knull into being, they created the first new villain in a while with what I'd call 'big villain juice.' He's visually arresting, you know what he wants in one sentence, you can't talk him out of it, he's powerful enough to hold down a crossover... and he was given the wonderful luxury of going away for a while. When a big bad is allowed to lay fallow and drift into memory, what's remembered is all the things readers liked about them - and that's when it's time for a comeback. The final ingredient in a good villain - they may be down, but they're never out."

Should've been Carol.

Well, he is a god, they don't die. They are just reborn.

Are Mary Jane's living family members going to become Symbiote'd?

Just throwing it out there; MJ gets possessed by The Spirit of Vengeance, and learns about the Mephisto deal

>MJ and Mephisto agree to film a sex tape with Paul “to inspire Peter to greater heights of heroism through suffering or some shit”

This is such a baffling take from Ewing that I can only interpret this statement as editorial twisting his arm all the way for synergy with a potential Venom movie sequel. Ewing isn’t perfect as a writer but I genuinely can’t imagine him liking that shit.

Can't believe Knull is back to give the King in Black powers to Paul!

>knull shit and Paul shit
Fire everyone at marvel asap

Eh, a lot of his writing has BIG SPACE THING, and Knull is a BIG SPACE THING.

>>149077261
Oh yeah, he did have Star Lord shoot Knull in the face.

FINALLY PAUL IS GONNA BOND WITH A SYMBIOTE AND BECOME PAULNAGE AND RAPE DYLAN

Are you guys not excited at all? Wtf??? It is one of the most important events in the Marvel Universe this year

There is not a single person on the planet who has ever, and I do mean ever, claimed to be a fan of Knull and said "boy I sure hope Knull comes back soon I'll buy all his comics!"

>>149074624 (OP)
knull is so hot

>>149078601
I said that

All-New Venom has been awful and this reeks of desperation after shedding tons of readers
