King in Black was a major 2021 Marvel crossover event centered on the symbiote god Knull’s invasion of Earth. Five collected editions cover the event from different angles, including Seanan McGuire’s Gwenom vs. Carnage, which brought her Ghost-Spider character into the symbiote conflict.
The event demonstrates McGuire’s ongoing involvement with Marvel’s interconnected storytelling, contributing character-specific tie-ins that connect her established superhero work to larger crossover narratives.
