Knull

P.S.

Uh, I still think Knull would be a great big bad for the entire MCU universe, even if Sony teased him, uh, in Venom: The Last Dance.

Vincent."

Yeah.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I, I've, I've, I've only really seen Knull in, like, people explaining who Knull is on the internet.

I really don't ...

Uh, what's his name? Krall?

Oh, N- Knull?

Knull.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sunfire does some nasty stuff.

Flash Thompson turns into a Venom dragon to attack some of Knull's, those flying constructs he's made.

And I was just like,

oh, right, Flash is in this book, too.

How was your day?" It was good.

"I recently read about Knull from Marvel, and it seems like Imu has a lot of similarities to both him, to, to him both lore and power-wise." Uh, I'm not huge into Marvel.

Are you...

You know probably about Knull.

Yes.

How, how you feeling about the Imu comp?

Yes.

Uh, Knull is one of the strongest people you could ever possibly imagine in anything in any universe.

And then he gets revenge.

He kills the, uh, Knull's, uh, Dok-Och, and then kicks his own arm [laughs] in the bottom panel to Miles so that he can go back in time and erase all of this from happening, and the heroes can, or semi-heroes can, uh, win the day.

But a lot of storytelling going on in the emotion of Kang here, and then also the, [laughs] just the, the, the, uh, viciousness of the, of the, uh, attack, too.

Yeah.

Silly like Jeff the Land Shark, or silly like Squirrel Girl?

I would say more Jeff the Land Shark, but I will give you a Knull content warning that Knull is deeply involved in this current arc and the previous one, and I'm just not connecting with that villain.

I'm just like, all right.

He seem- Marvel keeps finding ways to put him in comics I read, so I'm just like, okay.

After this character overpowered the Venomized Hulk and assimilated the Venom symbiote to complete his apotheosis, Eddie amalgamated the CODASEs gathered in the scythe into a gestalt symbiote and bonded with it.

Cletus revealed he had anticipated this and forced Venom to kill him and take back the Venom symbiote and save his son Dylan, absorbing this character in the process and thereby unleashing Knull." And I'm like, "What the fuck is going on? I don't know any of this." I [laughs]...

Is this a textbook?

It was like-

Yes.

As you're looking at that, "Spending several weeks as the ocean's top apex predator, the Carnage symbiote came across a whaling ship that harpooned the shark it had bonded to.

Pulling one of the whalers into the ocean, the symbiote transferred to him and took him over before boarding the ship." And then it's fucking, there's a whole fucking thing where during this Eddie Brock and Venom are fighting against Knull, and Venom becomes, like, the fucking king of the symbiotes.

Whole fucking thing.

Oh, yeah

... and you picked Knull, so nobody else could play Knull and only you could play Knull.

How did that play out?

Bad.

I, I think honestly this is a team you look at.

It, it loses to Tentpole.

Like, when you look at it, you're like, "Okay, against Knull, like what the hell are you gonna do against Knull?" You know, but just hope they roll bad.

You want them to roll threes and fours, baby.
