Publisher’s description

A Cataclysm of Light & Darkness! Tony Stark races against time, assembling powerful twin teams– Defenders of Light and Defenders of Dark — to battle Hela and Knull amidst the cosmic void. As their clash shakes the stars, Hela unleashes her devastating assault on Earth, forcing the AVENGERS OF EARTH into action for humanity's survival. But chaos doesn't end there: the monstrous SYMBIOTE INTELLIGENCE descends upon New York City, igniting a fierce confrontation as Venom and the Fantastic Four leap into battle! Will heroes unite and overcome the tide of darkness threatening the universe?
