King in Black: Symbiote Spider-Man is a five-issue miniseries from Peter David and Greg Land that flashes back to Spider-Man's time wearing the Symbiote. The synopsis teases at Knull forging a weapon from darkness, which is similar to how he gave birth to the race of Symbiotes.
On the cover for Issue #1, several cosmic characters take center stage, including Uatu the Watcher, the future Guardian of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon, Black Knight and the time-traveling villain Kang the Conqueror.
