Marvel\u2019s\u00a0Queen in Black is expanding this July, as Marvel has revealed\u00a0Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark, a three-issue miniseries by Tom Waltz and Z\u00e9 Carlos (Amazing Spider-Man), who will also draw sequences in the main Queen in Black series. The series sees two new superhero teams specifically assembled. The miniseries kicks off July 8th, just seven days after\u00a0Queen in Black\u00a0#1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Al Ewing, Juanan Ramirez, and Erick Arciniega on the Knull mini-series was an absolute blast! And I\u2019m very excited to rejoin Al and Co. for more Marvel Cosmic fun with QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK,\u201d Waltz shared. \u201cWe (or, rather, Tony Stark) have assembled a rag-tag team of super heroes to serve as the first line of Earth\u2019s defense against the dual invasion threat of Knull and Lady Hela. These aren\u2019t your normal Defenders \u2014 and teaming them up to help save the planet might seem unorthodox at first \u2014 but maybe a little super hero chaos is just what\u2019s needed to stop Hela and Knull\u2019s own chaotic machinations. The only way to find out is to join uber-talented artist Z\u00e9 Carlos, me, and the rest of the creative team for this cosmic tale of bravery, sacrifice, renewal, and redemption!\u201d<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS OF LIGHT AND DARK about?<\/p>\n

UNLEASH THE HEROES!<\/p>\n

Beta Ray Bill is the only hero in Midgard who remembers Hela, the Goddess of Death\u2026but does that mean he and his team can counter a Queen In Black? Meanwhile, Tony Stark\u2019s all-new Black Metal Armor is the ultimate weapon against Knull, God of the Void\u2026but does he have command of his own defense squad? It\u2019s the mission that\u2019ll decide the outcome of the entire conflict!<\/p>\n
