Knull, the Lord of the Abyss. God of the Symbiotes is back! But what mischief is he up to? We’ll have to find out in Venom #250 from Marvel Comics.
Al Ewing, Charles Soule, Carlos Gomez, and Terry Dodson are the creative team for Venom #250, which kicks off a new symbiote saga. The story sees Knull seeking revenge on Venom, who is currently bonded with Mary Jane Watson.
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.”
Venom #250 is scheduled to arrive on October 1, 2025.
