That’s a pretty bold claim to make dude, don’t know how much they paid you but shilling away for a law firm is not the type of thing you should be doing. Keep your sponsorships relevant to your audience if that’s not too much asked from you.

Drake can you drive me to the hospital if I get injured? 🙏
It can't be a coincidence that not only does Knull's name mean "fucking", but that the message "Knull Is Coming" was written in white goo.
I thought i was the only one that was gonna say something about that. Bro the moment i heard him say my mind was like it really said that
Extremely minor nitpick that means nothing: "knull" doesn't actually mean fucking, it just means "fuck". But it's not used as like a curse word, there are other swedish words for that, it's only used to refer to sex.
Just like the word fuck it's also informal. The formal swedish word for sex would either be "sex" or "samlag" (tho if you actually say samlag in like any conversation you are not younger than 80)
I have to admit. Donny knew EXACTLY what he was doing from start to finish. While he did make changes to Symbiote lore, he didn’t necessarily flat undo the lore created by other writers. I loved the introduction of Knull and what he brought to the table. And unlike a certain Batman that Laughs, he didn’t overstay his welcome in comics.
Couldn't have said it better.
I just realised Knull's goals are the exact same as Malekith in Thor: The Dark World.
Same as The Watchers in Runeterra
It's insane how Morgan & Morgan has started sponsoring TH-camrs
Good on you but they're advertising an actual law firm on comic TH-cam
I guess it's one way to expose people to your law firm first, so if they ever need one you're the first thing that comes to mind.
The King in Black event was nuts, but my favorite part was the truth of the Enigma Force being this sort of anti-symbiote of light to counter Knull. Just a great reveal that makes so much sense with how the enigma force operated prior to this reveal.
Im sorry? The phrase "fusing mjolnir and the silver surfer's surfboard (which was in the form of a sword) into a Giant battle axe in the shape of the venom logo" is not just the most amazing thing I've seen from a comic book, but a sentence of pure insanity and beauty
Sometimes I worry that my own comic plots will seem silly or over the top. But then, no, plotlines like these exist.
Silly and over the top is what comics were made for.
Silly and over the top works best in superhero comics when done right. The comic medium allows storytelling to be told in the best way possible. It shares the best of both worlds between visual and written media. To tell a story so grand and eccentric but also having the visuals to truly show off these fantastical plots and storylines.
Silly, over the top... It's all relative to the world you put together
Thank you for actually crediting the artists and authors on this run. Between Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 game and the new Venom Last Dance movie, I’ve begun associating this story with unpaid royalties and uncredited work, so thanks for reminding everyone who is responsible for these great stories and characters.
I think Cates and Stegman have been paid for the use of Knull in Venom 3. They tweeted a month ago that they had watched the movie and read the script for it before the movie’s official release, so it seems they have been paid.
Knull saw a red door, and wanted it painted black
God bless Continuity Cop I want him in every video now
Bro is fighting a losing battle, but it looks cool af
@MsMaddieTheOdd "The battle is never ending not because he can't win, but because he'll never give up."
I love how over the top the ending of the King in Black was. Why even have legendary weapons and god like powers in your setting if you won't use them for metal album cover worthy scenes?
Knull might be The King in Black. But The King in Black Sweatshirts is Drake
For a second I thought you meant a different Drake
That other Drake is the King in Kids DMs 😂😂
Careful which drake
I thought I was about to have to say "they not like us they not like us"
The fact that Knull is the one who beheaded Knowhere is so cool
Suddenly I'm beginning to feel like this is a retroactive backdoor way of making the independent comic book Grendel a part of all of this.
Nah I'm just imagining things.
Knull: Snuff out the light, claim your right to a world of darkness! Snuff out the light, neophytes of a world of darkness!
Excellent reference.
This is one of the best books, not because it beautiful, not because it’s written amazingly, but because it’s just awesome
I used a Knull deck back when I played Marvel Snap, so I can't be too harsh on the guy. And I like what Al Ewing's been doing with the King in Black concept at the moment.
The Thunderbolts mini that was apart of this event is super funny and well worth anyone's time
11:02 "All The KNULLEDGE" This is why I keep coming back Drake 😂. It's a double joke too! Knull-Edge! Because, come on, that axe was edgy as hell! But SOO COOL!🤘😂
Knull is an awesome character💯🔥
Ahh this was epic, so glad to have this video to explain *some* of the Venom stuff!
It makes me happy when you mention your award-winning videos. I've been reading Marvel comics on and off for 30 years (less so now) and you're one of the best comic youtubers I've found. I'm glad you're getting recognition for your awesome work!
Knull is really cool character that has such deep roots despite being recently created. It's hard for me to think he's a Venom villain and not a direct Avengers villain.
Yes, please cover King in Black. Really love that title.
This Knull video puts the biggest smile on my face
Now that Knull is canon, maybe he can kill all the gods Gorr didn’t.
I now want to see Knull dressed up as a giant demonic purple lemon. If you know, you know.
I don’t, and I’m scared to ask.
Wow. First ONSLAUGHT IS COMING! Then BENDIS IS COMING! Now KNULL IS COMING!
Lois, I'm
god i've been wanting to buy the omnibus for this run for ages and this video has only convinced me further
This is retcon done right, add to the mythos in interesting ways and ask for the blessing from other creators when relevant.
I have been so genuinely excited for you to cover the King in Black event!!
Bc all my casual comic book friends usually need to jump into an event is a quick overview vid like this one!!
Tho ofc i would appreciate a deep dive. Idk feels like book club but with comic books (revolutionary commentary im sure lol)
I cant tell if its a miracle or a tragedy that this story wasnt written in the 90s
I always love it when someone makes their fanfic part of the canon
I’m seeing the movie this Sunday. Imma gonna need this to inform the fam. Thank you Drake for being my hero
Venom 3, Knull appears in a trailer@@nicolebee3283
Looking forward to NCIS: Continuity Cop on CBS this fall.
Great video. I'm a sucker for convoluted story arcs like this one but you made it easy to follow.
I love it when comic writers just go guns blazing with ideas that for some people might seem ridiculous but to kids or other people its just increadibly fun to see these ridiculously over the top things actually happen. Making one of spidermans villians be essentially galactus but stronger and have him fight Spidey's previous villian now turned semi friend Venom, give venom God like powers to combine mjholnir and the silver surfers board into a gigantic axe and go nuts is crazy and I like it
Here before they nerf him to oblivion in Venom 3.
EVERYONE, keep your expectations at Zero, remember that this is Sony we are talking about.
dudes getting like 3 scenes
Knull is one of the edgiest Eldridge horrors out them. I mean just look at him!
It’s just the King in Yellow aka Hastur but Marvel
Wouldn't mind more continuity cop appearances.
I feel like someone should retcon the inheritors from the spiderverse comics to be related to knull.
I love how his whole motivation is to get some peace and quiet.
Bro that ending is so sick
Tiny Drake yelling “slash drake” took me by surprise and I laughed so hard
Always good to know when a comic run ends so I can go back and blitz through it.
Wow, I never knew that Knull meant "fuck". Thanks, Drake.
To be more specific, it's only the verb it refers to. Not the swearing.
I remember in Amazing Spider-man's "Big Time" arc when it first started, Peter (or one of his Horizon Labs coworkers? It's been a while) briefly mentions symbiotes are weak against fire and sonics bc the void of space doesn't have either of those. I always liked that explanation better than Knull's forge, it feels more real. Honestly Knull really does scream fanfic character since you mentioned it. I respect Cates for making his own stuff canon though, dude lived the dream. I just personally prefer the lack of an explanation. It's a little spookier to me.
It’s crazy when you realize this is based on Hastur by HP Lovecraft which is why there is a link to True Detective Season 1
I noticed that in the King in Black story, Knull actually tames the Void but doesn't actually use it. Some might say that it was simply a visual change to make Knull more intimidating and also just a show of force, *but I can't help but think there's a reason for it.*
Knulledge. My eyes rolled back so fast I almost passed out !
Continuity cop should have a crossover with the Plot Hole Goblin from SML
Guys...Knull is coming! We need to put this in every comic book ever!
2:26 I mean most heroes will say fuck when he arrives
It’s knull and the batman who laughs that caused the age of metal variants in comics!!
Black cat was crazy during this time.
Love your content keep up the great work
Drake's outfit has "this is gonna ruin the whole tour" vibes
Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing, and before there was nothing, there was the King in Black.
oh i love continuity police
King in Black is such a cool story line that it makes me sad to find out Cates ideas are taken without his knowledge to be used in other stuff like Spider-man 2 and Venom 3
Continuity Cop is a good bit
Da comicbook king is back baby he neva miss we're eating good today y'all
I was back last week. 😐
I thinking the codex are like sim card that connect to hive network. No?
Most likely
For a moment back then, I was terrified that they were going to make Knull into the Batman who Laughs of Marvel, but they were surprisingly restrained. I don't think Knull has returned outside of flashbacks or mentions so far.
Yeah… Sony is going to ignore ALL OF THIS
7:04 *Eddie
"Carnage has his son."
4:16 Well done. 👍🏾 (Wardrobe change)
It’s about what, “they”, aren’t doing.
Papa Meat kills with that sort of thing.
There Is actually more Knull lore in the Al Ewing Venom run
Al Ewing - quickly becoming Marvel's Grant Morrison.
Great video! I hate Knull fundamentally as a concept personally but I enjoy your content
missed opportunity to have the promo saying "The Earth is Krulled"
Knull is just what happens when I feel the sun coming up in the morning. Who needs light anyway?
Just watched Venom 3. Now i really want to read the events leading up to the king in black.
I thought knull was a combo or “null” = nothing, inert. And “knell” a type of bell sound at funerals.
Feels like a missed opportunity to not talk about the additional lore Al Ewing added to Knull. Y'know, the stuff around the eventuality, as well as Knull's relation to the Beyonders. Would've been nice to give that book a shoutout.
It's not lore that actually pertains much to Knull, especially since he explicitly wanted nothing to do with the kings in ivory or kings in onyx.
All of that was added to give Eddie more depth. It basically had nothing to do with Knull.
Is it a coincidence that Knull looks almost EXACTLY like Elric of Melniboné?
Thanks for the info on his comic arc.
So a Venom Fan Fiction writer was given the reigns of Venom canon and we got an even that reads a lot like a venom fan fiction? Is this so stupid it's awesome, or so awesome it's stupid?
Also, coincidentally, Venom tried to encase the earth in Symbiote goo in Spider-man 2 on PS5.
It's not a coincidence, that game borrows a whole hell of a lot from the Cates Venom run. Didn't credit him for a damn bit of it either.
Comics have been written by fan for decades now most of those characters are fuckcing old and many writers grew up reading their stories
Me and my buddy absolutely love venom and when the king in black event was announced we squeed like high schoolers. Please cover the event more I would love to see it. Knull is so damn cool 🤩
Knull did reappear in an alternate universe when Carnage was traveling around to become a new King in Black.
Seeing you cover the king in black event could be fun
Omg guys he talked about comics for 14 minutes, give this video an award
Now: imagine all that but animated, i NEED King in Black animated.
I just want the Enigma Venom Axe on my tv animated
That ending is the most anime thing I've ever seen.
Technically, since he's wearing The Grendel and its a symbiote, it might just be manifesting that sword for him.
Oh I didn’t know his name had that meaning! So THAT’S why we were invited to treat ourselves to 19 inches of Venom!
Ngl I thought u were about to go into the opening of Crisis on Infinite Earths at the start
Yeah, the last bit really does make it sound like he just wrote his fanfic into official material. But that’s cool so who cares.
The hype when seeing that for the first time was the first time I’ve actually started screaming while reading a comic
It was amazing
Great pun at the end, I approve.
Yesterday Marvel Snap they introduced the Knullified variants. I genuinely thought they were made up for the game, not actually based on the event. Hell i didnt know Knull ever made it to earth, throught he was only exerting his influence from his prison, since he's essentially a cosmic entity in the level of Eternity, Infinity or Death... and if he's not, he should be, considering he's the embodiment of darkness or nothingness. It was explained to me as "everything that exists between celestial bodies, the entirety of the nothingness if soace l, is Knull's domain"
If given the chance, creators will name beings of destruction something funny. Lego Ninjago named a monster "the Grundle"
Comic drake posted wake up
The edge is so painful, I’m getting cut and infected by a symbiote! (This post was written concerning the thumbnail, Drake is all swag.)
Yeah def want that King in Black vid.
Awesome video :)
I would like a "the King in black " video
Reminds me of Echoes of Wisdom.
The first twenty seconds of the video are literally the Echoes of Wisdom backstory
Hey, I’m glad to see you hitting with sponsors that aren’t promoting stuff for my junk. 🤷♂️
The content is always great. Have a great week. 💪🏾
I avoided Knull because he seemed to be the worst of 1990s excess - I was a Venom fan from his beginning but was worn out by the time Planet of the Symbiotes came around. It sounds like it only got more convoluted and universe-threatening, a far cry from someone slightly stronger than New York-saving Spidey.
Lots of characters are like unfortunately. Actually name a big name Superhero from comics, or even outside, and you’ll find some convoluted stuff
@@azureheart2846 I know, but sometimes I find it so unnecessary. I’m a firm believer in the phrase “creativity lies in constraint.” Spider-Man doesn’t NEED to be some sorta cosmic linchpin in a multiversal web. He’s just a guy from Queens.
This has nothing to do with the video, but you should make a video about all the witches from Agatha all along like a compilation video
It wouldn't really do well at this point with the show already wrapping up. In order for that to actually get views, it would have needed to have been made weeks ago.
Spider 🕷️ Man 🧍♂️ has some insane Gods in his Rogues
