Descending upon Earth with an army of symbiote dragons, Knull seeks to reclaim the Hive and annihilate all light. Eddie and Venom must face their greatest fear: servitude to their original creator.

To stop Knull, Eddie must become more than Venom. He must become the King in Black—and wield the full power of the symbiote Hive.
