During the gap between the sixth and seventh iterations of the cosmos, the elder god of darkness Knull ruled supreme over the void, until he was awoken by the light of creation. Enraged, he waged war agaist the light, decapitating a Celestial after creating a blade of Living Abyss. Refining the blade using the Celestial's severed head as a forge, unwittingly creating a metaphysical connection between himself and the Celestial, Knull proceeded to annihilate entire pantheons of gods. One of his fights against the Light left Knull so injured that an inhabitant of a nameless planet was able to steal his blade, unwillingly following his footsteps. After recovering, Knull discovered he could merge his creations to "lesser creatures", and decided to use this as a way to corrupt the light. At some point during his crusade, Knull came across a time-displaced Silver Surfer, starting a rivalry that would resurface eons later. Knull's reign of terror came to an end when the Norse god of thunder Thor struck down two of his dragons - the Grendel and Grendel's Mother - and severed his connection to Symbiote Hive. Bonding to the nearest hosts they could find, the Hive was infected with concepts of nobility and honor, causing the symbiotes to rebel against Knull and imprison him at the core of their homeworld, rebranding themselves the Klyntar - their word for "cage" - and seeking to redeem themselves as the Agents of the Cosmos. On Earth, an apocalyptic cult worshiping Knull was established by humans who had worshiped the symbiote dragons and been infected by offshoots still loyal to Knull, spreading around the world and infiltrating various other organizations to prepare for and facilitate Knull's return.
In the 1930s, a teenage Namor McKenzie was sent as a diplomatic envoy to the Chasm People's outpost in the Orreki Reefs in a bid to arrange a union between them and the Atlantean Empire. After helping foil a coup against King Attukar of the Chasm People, Namor, Dorma, and the Chasm People's prince Attuma were sent to accompany the Swift Tide - an elite squad of warrior women - on a mission to retrieve an ancient eldritch artifact called the Unforgotten Stone. The mission ended in disaster, with the Swift Tide being corrupted into monsters by the Unforgotten Stone's dark power, redubbing themselves the Black Tide. The Black Tide slaughtered the Chasm People present at the Orreki Reefs, including King Attukar, before declaring war on Atlantis itself. When the Black Tide attacked Atlantis, Dorma used the power of the Unforgotten Stone - which had been retrieved by her pet mutant goldfish Ambrose - to trap them in ice. Read the rites of banishment by Emperor Thakorr, the Black Tide were imprisoned in the depths of the Harran's Rift, but Attuma blamed Atlantis for the disaster, ruining the chance for peace between his people and Namor's.
In the 1960s, the Grendel - frozen in a glacier for centuries - was uncovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. and used as part of a black ops super-soldier program during the Vietnam War. Due to the symbiotes' connection to Knull through the Hive-Mind, they went berserk and rampaged through Vietnam until S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury sent Logan and a Life-Model Decoy of himself to put a stop to them, encountering Rex Strickland - one of the Sym-Soldiers. To eliminate witnesses and evidence, Fury self-destructed the Life-Model Decoy, incapacitating the symbiotes and killing Strickland, but Strickland's symbiote survived, broke free of Knull's control, and imprinted his codex into itself to pose as him, becoming an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Following this, the Weapon Plus supersoldier initiative appropriated the Sym-Soldier Program to create Weapon V.
During the time Spider-Man was the host of the symbiote later known as Venom, a proto-symbiote called Mister E attempted to conquer the Earth in service of his master, who had reached back through time from the future to resurrect it in a bid to change the past. Witnessing a future where Mister E succeeded, Kang the Conquerer attempted to prevent this from coming to pass, extracting Uatu the Watcher's knowledge and recruiting Rocket Raccoon to his cause. Coming into conflict with Spider-Man, Mister E was confused as to why one of its brethren would be subservient to its host and try to stop its plan. When Black Knight intervened, Mister E impersonated Merlin to lure him into a trap and stole the Ebony Blade - intent on destroying it out of the belief it could be used to vanquish Knull. Stealing an experimental Quinjet, Mister E took the Ebony Blade to the troll blacksmith Ulicia on Knowhere; pursued by Kang, Rocket, Spider-Man, the Black Knight, and Captain Marvel. After a brief fight with Ulicia's brother Ulik, who had been recruited by Uatu to reclaim the Ebony Blade, Mister E was subdued by Captain Marvel's light-based powers and imprisoned in the Collector's showroom. Reaching backwards through time, Knull restored Mister E's full power and he escaped, reclaiming the Ebony Blade with the intent of using it to prematurely free Knull, but was vanquished by Captain Marvel. Uatu attempted to take the group of heroes and villains forward through time to stop Knull's invasion in the future, but was stopped by the other Watchers. Captain Marvel was able to destroy the shell of living abyss covering the sun, briefly rousing Knull from his slumber to vow revenge. In order to preserve the continuity of the time-stream, Uatu erased the memories of everyone involved.
Following the downfall of S.H.I.E.L.D., "Strickland" recruited Eddie Brock - host of the Venom symbiote - to rescue the other Sym-Soldiers. Venom unwittingly freed the Grendel, which was remote-piloted by Knull and embarked on a rampage to reclaim its missing pieces. Following a close encounter with Knull's avatar, Eddie bonded to Strickland's symbiote and attempted to stop Knull, who nearly succeeded in assimilating the Venom symbiote into the Grendel; Strickland's symbiote sacrificing itself to drag Knull's avatar into a blast furnace and immolate it. Seeking to make amends with his estranged father, Eddie discovered he had a son named Dylan and took him from his abusive grandfather.
The corpse of the serial killer Cletus Kasady was recovered by the cult worshiping Knull, who bonded it to a surviving sample of the Grendel. Knull attempted to take over Cletus' body, but was stopped by Cletus ripping out Tanis Nieves' spine and eating it to absorb her codex, which contained remnants of the Carnage symbiote. Now connected to Knull as an undead demigod, Cletus decided to awake the dark elder god by assimilating as many symbiote codices as possible to amplify his symbiote's connection to the rest of the Hive. Assimilating the Mania symbiote and many other hosts' codices, Carnage rampaged through New York, ultimately tricking Eddie into helping him unleash Knull at the cost of his life. In the process, Dylan learned he was a human/symbiote hybrid with powers similar to Knull's.
Destroying Klyntar, Knull was confronted by the Exolon-infected Kree bounty-hunter, Zak-Del, who tried fighting him only to be stripped of his Exolon symbiote. Recreating All-Black, Knull and his horde blaze a swath of destruction across the cosmos en route to Earth - destroying multiple planets; waylaying a fleet of Kree/Skrull Alliance ships and slaughtering or infecting their crews, and settling his eons-old grudge against the Celestials by killing and/or infecting them with symbiotes. After his failed duel with Knull, Zak-Del was immediately confronted by the God of Light, Knull's opposite, telling him to find Eddie Brock and inform him of its existence. Focusing his attention on Earth, Knull dispatched symbiote-dragons across the cosmos to cause as much widespread destruction as possible, one of them attacking Spartax and slaughtering two billion of its inhabitants in the space of four standard hours before being slain by the apotheosized Star-Lord. Other symbiote-dragons began laying waste to Zn'rx territories, precipitating a Snarkwar amongst the various factions. Knull also infected Fin Fang Foom with a symbiote, adding the Makluan dragon to his army and sending him to attack Asgard.
Conquest of Earth
Sensing that Knull's arrival on Earth is imminent, Eddie alerts the Avengers and takes Dylan to the secret bunker made for Spider-Man by Ezekiel Sims. As hundreds of thousands of Symbiote Dragons fly through space towards Earth, Iron Man uses derelict warships left over from the war with the Cotati as a minefield - only managing to kill a hundred of them. The Avengers contact Mayor Wilson Fisk to warn him of the danger, but Fisk disregards the warning to evacuate the city, assuming that it's a trick to discredit him. As the Avengers and Fantastic Four rush to evacuate Manhattan, the symbiote dragons make landfall and start cocooning the city in symbiotes. As Doctor Strange, the X-Men, and numerous street-level heroes join the evacuation effort, Eddie makes his way to Carnage's Spire and connects to it using the Venom symbiote - intending to hack into the Symbiote Hive-Mind and hijack control of the symbiote dragons. Before Eddie can attempt to do so, symbiote-controlled Celestials arrive and Knull emerges demanding to be given the human called Brock in exchange for making Earth's destruction swift and painless.
The Sentry arrives and attempts to rip Knull in half, but is effortlessly overpowered and torn in half himself. Absorbing the Void, Knull forcibly bonds symbiotes to most of the remaining heroes and then envelops the Earth in a shell of living abyss. Venom decides to surrender to Knull in order to buy the remaining heroes time to escape, alerting Knull to his location. Knull grabs Venom and takes him to the top of the Empire State Building, where Venom offers to serve him if he spares Earth. Knull refuses and informs Venom that the Brock he wanted was Dylan, ripping the Venom symbiote off Eddie before dropping him off the skyscraper's roof. Eddie is mortally wounded and left comatose, Spider-Man taking him to the Fantastic Four for medical treatment. Sacrificing himself to buy time for Spider-Man to escape with Eddie, the Human Torch is taken over by a symbiote, as are his soulmate Sky and the Thing.
Disregarding the evacuation order to attempt a major heist, Black Cat is caught off-guard by Knull's attack and barely manages to escape, horrified by witnessing the Avengers' last stand. Making her way to Alchemax, she recruits Doctor Steven to provide her with the means to save Doctor Strange.
As the symbiote shell encases the Earth, Knull's symbiote-dragons attack major cities around the world, attempting to devour everyone they come across or spawning symbiotes that take over civilians, heroes, and villains alike. Knull sends a symbiote-dragon to hunt down the Black Knight, seeking to claim the Ebony Blade for himself; leading to a showdown in Shanghai between the Black Knight, Aero, Sword Master, and one of Knull's avatars in the shape of the dark god Chiyou. Coming to terms with his inner darkness, the Black Knight stops Knull from claiming the Ebony Blade and Sword Master's Sword of Fu Xi, the three heroes disembarking to Manhattan to take the fight to Knull. Ghost Rider - in the middle of interrogating Mephisto - witnesses the beginning of Knull's invasion and uses his Penance Stare to sever a symbiote-dragon's connection to the Symbiote Hive-Mind. Faced with an army of demons seeking to kill him and restore Mephisto to the throne of Hell, Blaze is joined by Death Rider, Sara the Caretaker, and Blackheart. Mephisto takes advantage of the distraction to escape, but the demons are taken over by symbiotes and capture him. Ghost Rider and his allies battle the symbiote-infected demons, which attempt to infect Ghost Rider as well. Ghost Rider incapacitates the symbiote-controlled demons with another Penance Stare, and Sara persuades him to set Mephisto free to reclaim the throne of his Hell. As a parting gift, Mephisto captures a symbiote-dragon and takes it to Hell promising to destroy it, but immediately reneges on his word intending to weaponize it for his own purposes.
Another symbiote-dragon attacks the Ravencroft Institute and breaches the tomb of Cortland Kasady, an ancestor of Cletus Kasady and member of the symbiote-worshiping cult who Knull viewed as one of his most-loyal acolytes. Knull reanimates Cortland as he once had his descendant, dubbing the undead serial killer Plague; and Plague sets out to wreak havoc in Knull's name and avenge his descendant by killing Eddie Brock.
In the hours that follow Knull's initial victory, the X-Men withdraw from the global defense effort to focus on defending Krakoa, while the remaining Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and the Black Panther attempt to rally as many allies as they can - including arranging a truce with Namor and sending him to recruit the Black Tide, sending Blade to recruit Count Dracula, and contacting the Mayor Fisk to recruit New York's supervillains. Taking the loss of several of his bodyguards, constituents, and reputation personally, Fisk forcibly recruits a team of supervillains from the Bar with No Name, dubs them the Thunderbolts, and sends them to find Norman Osborn. Gwen Stacy's apartment is attacked by a symbiote-dragon, and when she attempts to flee to Earth-65 she accidentally warps her universe's Mary Jane Watson -- who had been bonded to a sample of Gwen's artificial Venom symbiote -- to Earth-616. MJ is taken over by a symbiote and dubbed Carnage by Knull, who orders her to capture Gwen. Connected to the Hive-Mind, Gwen is confronted by Knull, who mocks her for having unwittingly pushed MJ to embrace his corruption and accepts her challenge to save her friend. Chasing the Carnageized MJ down, Gwen manages to sever the connection between her symbiote and Knull's living abyss, seemingly killing MJ's symbiote.
Wakanda is nearly overrun by symbiotes, but the Black Panther repells the attack by using Wakanda's forcefield to amplify one of Klaw's sonic arm-cannons -- briefly punching a hole through the symbiote barrier encasing the Earth -- and summoning the Hand of Bast to combat a symbiote-dragon spawning the horde. The "Knullified" Thing and the Human Torch attack 4 Yancy Street as Sky leads a horde of symbiote-dragons to attack Brainstorm and Powerhouse. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman manage to repel the Thing and Human Torch, while Dragon Man battles Sky; and Brainstorm is briefly taken over by a symbiote only to be freed using a lightning gun made by Bentley-23. Iron Man captures a symbiote-dragon using Extremis and merges it with his armor, but is unable to fully sever its connection to the Hive Mind. When Tony attempts to bond it to Eddie, the symbiote attacks him, forcing Dylan to reveal his powers to subdue it. As Mister Fantastic jubilantly lauds Dylan as their ace-in-the-hole, everyone notices that Eddie has succumbed to his injuries and died. His consciousness trapped in the Symbiote Hive-Mind as a codex, Eddie is reunited with Tyrannosaurus (Rex Strickland) and Agent Anti-Venom (Flash Thompson), recruiting them to help retake the Venom symbiote from Knull and destroy the Hive from the inside.
Using an unstable mixture of Astrobiological Serum and Weapon V's Sym-Soldier Suits, Black Cat is able to rescue Doctor Strange with the help of Bats, incurring the wrath of a horde of symbiote dragons. To fend them off, Black Cat uses a piece of the staff that Dr. Strange had crafted from the wood of Yggdrasill to augment herself with the divine power of Asgard.
While escorting the Sentry's soul to Valhalla, the Valkyrie Jane Foster encounters an undead Celestial bound to Knull by All-Black. The undead Celestial consumes the Sentry's soul, and in trying to rescue him Jane frees one of the original nine Valkyries, who had been trapped inside the Celestial for millions of years. Learning from Brunnhilde that the undead Celestial supplies Knull with a vast amount of power, making him nigh-invincible, Jane and the Valkyrie plan to sever the dark god's connection to the Celestial and free the souls trapped within it; Jane departing to recruit former Valkyries Hildegarde and Dani Moonstar.
Despite some symbiote-related setbacks, Fisk's Thunderbolts find Osborn in the Ravencroft Institute, and he proposes recruiting the Sentry to fight Knull -- not knowing the Sentry has already been killed. Star is able to track the Sentry's energy signature and leads the Thunderbolts to his corpse, which Taskmaster proposes turning into a cosmic energy nuke to use against Knull. However, the Thunderbolts instead trick Fisk into thinking they've sacrificed themselves doing so before blackmailing him into providing them with additional jobs once Knull is inevitably defeated. Iron Man blames himself for Eddie Brock's death, but is snapped out of his funk by Doctor Doom, who attempts to persuade him to share his symbiote-augmented armor under the pretense of using it to defeat Knull. Andi Benton is drawn into the fight when she encounters the "Knullified" Agony, Phage, Riot, and Lasher symbiotes hunting for Dylan Brock, and is almost devoured when they merge into Hybrid and try to assimilate the Scream symbiote. American Kaiju is dispatched to fight a horde of symbiote dragons, devouring several before they amalgamate into a massive two-headed dragon - which he subdues after an intense battle. Descending into the depths of Harran's Rift, Namor meets with the Black Tide and brokers a temporary truce, bringing Kharsa and Sycorax to help fight Knull's forces.
The Quiet Council of Krakoa dispatch the Red Queen and her Marauders to rescue Cyclops and Storm, though they are side-tracked rescuing a ship belonging to human traffickers, marooning the slavers and giving the refugees sanctuary on Island M. As Knull's forces attack Krakoa, S.W.O.R.D. director Abigail Brand dispatches re-enforcements to Krakoa while surreptitiously sending Mentallo to take the Five off-planet, but they are all defeated by the symbiote-possessed Cable. Brand dispatches Manifold to try recruiting extraterrestrial aid, and though he is unsuccessful he discovers that Alpha Flight's acting commander Henry Gyrich is a mole for Orchis and that there is a mole in S.W.O.R.D. as well. Returning to Krakoa to find that the symbiote-possessed Cable has conquered it and trapped the denizens in a symbiote-tree - which is devouring those Knull deems unworthy of joining his army - Manifold attempts to battle him but is overpowered until Frenzy breaks free and rips off Cable's cybernetic arm. Manifold conjures a miniature star and burns away the symbiote infecting Cable. Once free, Magneto orders the Five to prioritize the resurrection of mutants with anti-symbiote powers.
Retrieving a divine needle-like sword from Asgard's armory, Jane and Dani prepare a ritual to sever the Headless Celestial's connection to All-Black while Hildegarde confronts Knull and his forces on Midgard, fulfilling her part of the ritual before being taken over by a symbiote. Sensing it's in danger, the Headless Celestial assimilates Jane into its afterlife and attempts to persuade her to grant it new life. The rest of the Valkyries, stirred to action by Brunnhilde, complete the ritual and sever the Headless Celestial's connection to Knull, greatly weakening the dark god - who had been unaware of the source of the majority of his power until that point. Rejecting the Headless Celestial's offer, Jane is able to persuade it to free the souls it had imprisoned and to pass on to the afterlife itself.
Seeking revenge for his father, Dylan enters the battlefield and frees Captain America from Knull's control, but is attacked by Knull. Before Knull can capture him, Thor arrives and battles the dark god. Using all his strength, Thor manages to smash off Knull's lower jaw with Mjolnir, but Knull reforms it from living abyss and impales him with All-Black, directing the symbiote-controlled Celestials to destroy the city. Iron Man uses his symbiote-augmented armor to hijack control of one of the symbiote-possessed Celestials, while Thor -- badly wounded -- sends Huginn and Muninn to find the Silver Surfer and bring him to Earth. Within the Hive-Mind, Eddie, Rex, and Flash manage to infiltrate the God-Hive - the Hive-Mind's core - and Flash takes over a symbiote that had been disconnected from Knull's control by Thor, incarnating in the world of the living as a white symbiote-dragon. Furious, Knull takes over Rex's symbiote and confronts Eddie within the Hive-Mind, seeking to destroy him.
Captain America falls back to the sidelines to aid the Winter Soldier and Falcon in evacuating civilians, but is haunted by the experience of having been taken over by Knull and suffers from auditory and visual hallucinations until Barnes and Wilson are able to console him and restore his resolve. Mistakenly assuming himself to be responsible for Knull's invasion due to having brought the Venom symbiote to Earth, Spider-Man is snapped out of his despair by Reptil and helps the younger hero rescue a group of civilians from a colossal symbiote-dragon - restoring his resolve in the process. As they battle Knull's symbiote army, Kharsa notes that Namor has grown since they last met and asks if he's ready for her inevitable betrayal.
Knull ensnares Dylan in a sphere of living abyss and attempts to corrupt him, but Dylan tricks him with help from Marvel Girl and frees Cyclops, the Human Torch, the Invisible Woman, Thor, and Storm. Black Cat almost succumbs to the Yggdrasil Staff's limitless power, but realizes it would corrupt her and rejects it. Doctor Strange reclaims the staff and activates it, joining Cyclops, the Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman in blasting as many of the symbiotes as they can into the heart of the city. Namor and Sycorax conjure a tsunami, and Thor and Storm electrocute the symbiotes caught up in the ensuing flood to sever them from Knull's control. Furious, Knull attacks Dylan but is stopped by Marvel Girl, who attempts to read his mind to find his weaknesses. Initially despairing, she discovers his connection to the God of Light. Arriving at Earth, the Silver Surfer absorbs the God of Light into himself and phases through Knull's barrier, unleashing it to find its chosen host. In the God-Hive, the Venom symbiote breaks free from Knull's control and incarnates Eddie's codex as a building-sized version of Venom, but before he can attack Knull the God of Light resurrects him. Just as Reed Richard realizes the God of Light is the Enigma Force, it resurrects and bonds to Eddie Brock - turning him into Captain Universe.
The Silver Surfer and Knull face off and prepare to resume their ancient duel, but Eddie - transformed into a cosmic version of Venom - intercedes and takes Mjolnir and the Silver Surfer's Surfboard, fusing them into a battle-axe. With Knull weakened, Eddie easily trounces him and rips his symbiote-armor off before flying him into the Sun and obliterating his body with the Uni-Power. Returning to Earth to find Knull attempting to take over Dylan's body, Eddie uses the Uni-Power to remove and destroy Dylan's symbiote-half. The God of Light leaves Eddie and the Venom symbiote rebonds to him as the symbiote barrier over the Earth dissipates. As the one who vanquished Knull and freed them from the dark god's tyranny, the remaining symbiotes acknowledge Venom as their new god.
Under Knull's control, Fin Fang Foom attacks Asgard and is battled by Beta Ray Bill and Lady Sif, who manage to hold him off until Thor returns following Knull's defeat and vanquishes the Makluan's symbiote with a bolt of lightning.
The symbiote-dragon controlled by Flash Thompson's codex - acting on intel from Eddie about what happened to Cletus Kasady when he was bonded to a symbiote-dragon - travels to the cemetery where his body was buried and reanimates his corpse, bursting out of his grave.
The reborn Carnage symbiote, having bonded to a great white shark after escaping the Isla de Huesos, takes over a member of the crew of a whaling ship intending to join the fight just as Eddie Brock kills Knull. Some of the countless symbiotes comprising Knull's dome of living abyss rain down onto the whaling ship and ocean, bonding to the crew and numerous sharks. Through the symbiote hive-mind, Venom informs Carnage that Knull is dead and that he is the new King in Black; sentencing Carnage to death and commanding the symbiote-controlled sharks to devour him, though a piece would survive and bond to another shark.
Assisting with the rebuilding after Knull's defeat, Mister Fantastic and the Thing have a heart-to-heart and reaffirm their friendship over a beer; while the Human Torch and Sky reaffirm their love for one another.
As Namor had feared, Kharsa and Sycorax refuse to return to their exile and disappear in the wake of Knull's defeat, leading to Namor hunting for them with the help of his Defenders of the Deep. Learning that the soldiers he sent to guard the Black Tide's prison had been slaughtered, Namor dives into Harran's Rift to find Kharsa and Sycorax had freed the other members of the Black Tide, but is comforted by Dorma's spirit saying that she and Attuma will stand by him when the time comes to face the Black Tide again.
In the wake of the symbiote invasion, anti-extraterrestrial sentiment - especially towards symbiotes - increases dramatically, and Alchemax establishes a paramilitary force of Guardsmen with orders to capture or terminate any alien they come across on-sight - bringing a squad into conflict with Agent Anti-Venom, who is forced to reveal his resurrection. The Toxin symbiote - somehow revived and escaped from the Chthonic Island - bonds to a teenager named Bren Waters only to come into conflict with Bren's father - one of Alchemax's Guardsmen. Eddie Brock uses his powers as the new King in Black to help maintain peace across the universe, but ends up neglecting his duties as a father to Dylan in the process; and his powers place an enormous amount of strain on his still-mortal body, causing him to rapidly age in the space of a few months. Dylan is unable to adjust to the tedium of civilian life and not having powers, and is fatally shot by Jack O'Lantern while trying to stop him from mugging a woman. To save him, the Venom symbiote bonds to Dylan and they begin operating as Venom with Eddie's blessing.
Following Flash's return as Agent Anti-Venom, he discovers the reborn Carnage symbiote - controlled by Cletus Kasady's codex - has survived its apparent death and is attempting to recruit an army of symbiotes using the power granted to him by Knull. Contacted by Iron Man, Flash theorizes that Carnage has taken over the demagogical senator Peter Krane - who had joined the Friends of Humanity and sought to exploit xenophobic sentiment to become the President - and sets out to foil his plans; though in actuality Carnage had bonded to Peter Krane's son Arthur, recruiting the Agony, Phage, Scream, Riot, Lasher to his cause. Flash reunites with his one-time protegé Andi Benton and her new symbiote Silence, recruiting Bren Waters and Toxin, and Sleeper. Flash and his team ultimately fail to stop Carnage from assassinating Senator Krane and assimilating the Extrembiote when Iron Man attempts to use it to help the heroes. More powerful than ever, Carnage escapes with Agony and its host Gemma Shin in tow; while Arthur Krane becomes senator in the place of his deceased father, and Gemma Shin - sent by Carnage to monitor Krane - becomes the de-facto leader of the Friends of Humanity.

- A trailer was released by Marvel on YouTube to promote this event:
- The event was first teased in the free Empyre magazine.
- Marvel reprinted the recommended issues leading to the event in Knull: Marvel Tales #1 and in the True Believers: King in Black line.
- The King in Black event takes place some time following the events of Black Panther Vol. 7 and the Last Remains arc of Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 5, and during and immediately after the events of the Prey arc of Thor Vol. 6,
- King in Black: Ghost Rider #1 is full of continuity errors. It infers that the events of Ghost Rider Vol 9 had only recently concluded, when they seemed to conclude shortly after Incoming #1, which was before Empyre. Even if they didn't, they had to conclude before the Age of Khonshu arc in Avengers (Vol. 8) #33-Avengers (Vol. 8) #38, since Mephisto has returned to power by then, and because Avengers (Vol. 8) #45 is part of this event. Finally, Mephisto is shown back in power in Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5) #60, which occurs days after Last Remains and therefore after this event.
- It is unclear where King in Black: Immortal Hulk #1 fits in the event's timeline, as it is set on Christmas Eve while King in Black: Iron Man/Doom #1 is set some time prior to Christmas, and the events of King in Black #1-5 seemingly occur in the space of several hours.
- The title of "King in Black" is a reference to Hastur, the King in Yellow (the central character of the Hastur Mythos, and a Cthulhu Mythos character). Knull was first named as such in Silver Surfer: Black #2.

Scotty Troutman's Spare-Time DeuceScotty Troutman has one of those jobs many of us wish we had. When the rest of us are diligently working at our desks or sweating out in the summer heat, Scotty's building hot rods for a living at Alloway's Hot Rod Shop in Knoxville, Tennessee. Those guys are turning out some of the nicest cars in the country on a daily basis . About the only drawback he can attest to is the fact that it's hard to work on cars all day long and still be motivated to go home and work on cars at night. But it's working on customer's cars day in and day out that motivated him to use his talent to build his own car.
The base of Scotty's hot rod is an Alloway's chassis with a Currie 9-inch Ford rear and Pete & Jake's frontend with a 5-inch dropped axle. The chassis was stretched 3 inches before the suspension was hung and the 427ci Chevy big-block and TH350 trans were dropped in between the 'rails. American Racing polished five-spokes sit at all four corners, 15x4s up front and 18x10s out back.
Working for Alloway's, it was only fitting to use a Rat's Glass fiberglass '32 roadster body for his build. The body was channeled an inch and a half and a removable top was also made. Scotty handled all the bodywork himself, from prep to finish, including spraying the DuPont 2004 Mazda silver paint. Once Scotty finished the rub-out on the paint, Steve Holcomb at Pro Auto was contacted to stitch up the red leather upholstery, which included building custom door panels and a bench seat.
When Scotty began building his roadster, he said one of his goals was to build a car that looked like those that were coming out of Alloway's shop. Spending nights and weekends working on his silver Deuce, Scotty's done an excellent job in reaching his goal!

Learn the Ceili Dances
The Ceili dance is very energetic!
A dance for everyone
If you have ever had the chance to take part in a Ceili dance you will know how invigorating, tiring and exhilarating they can be. While you have to be a good dancer to take part in a feis, it doesn’t matter whether you are good or bad to take part in a Ceili dance. All that matters is that you enjoy it, and you might even pick it up more easily than you think.
Here are eight classic Ceili dances you can watch out for and take part in if you wish.
The Fairy Reel
This is designed for six people – four ladies and two men. There are two sets of three so there will be a man in the middle of two ladies, with one set of three facing the other. This dance is also known as Cor na Siog.
Bridge of Athlone
This is so called because the line of couples taking part in the dance forms a bridge by holding hands with their partners on the opposite side. One partner goes under the middle each time while the other goes round the outside.
Walls of Limerick
There is no limit on the number of couples who can do this dance. You may also see it referred to as Ballai Luimni.
This is a nice little dance that requires just three people. The idea is that the two people on the ends will have switched places by the end of the dance. But of course, it depends on how good you all are as to whether this actually happens or not! Either way it’s a lot of fun.
Siege of Ennis
This is perfect for eight people – four couples – and is also known as Ionsai na hInse. You can repeat the basic dance as many times as you have the puff for!
Sweets of May
Four couples are required for this dance. There are several stages to it so it is a little more advanced than some of the other dances. Everyone starts in a square with a dancer at each corner.
This requires an even number of people and is often danced with ten participants. It begins with two lines of five, the men on one side and their partners on the other.
This is ideal for couples and there is no limit to the number who can take part, making it ideal for all kinds of parties! Your partner goes to your left and you will alternate linking arms with your partner and the person on the other side of you.
Whew! As you can see there are lots of Ceili dances to try. If you want to learn properly it is worthwhile watching some expert dancers do the dances so you can learn the steps. Try one at a time and remember they are good fun for entertaining people at parties and getting them to join in as well. Part of the fun is not knowing exactly what you are doing!

I know it has been ‘long-time no post’, since my last blog post. A lot has changed, since then. I had decided to take an unplanned/unofficial break from blogging and consistently posting on social media. It had given me the time to try to search and find new employment opportunities that would take me outside of my comfort zone, earn a steady paycheck, and to temporarily move away from writing. Of course, I was successful in my search. However, it didn’t bring forth the results I had been expecting. At the beginning of the new job, I had these huge plans of using the job as a stepping stone to another opportunity. However, as the saying goes, ‘If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.’
I ended up working a job for three months as a server in a hotel during the summer. Then after the third month, I had decided to quit the job. Since then, I have applied to many entry-level work-from-home opportunities and either many doors that has to lead to other employment avenues has been slammed shut in my face or I didn’t have the equipment or financial resources to move forward with those opportunities.
Upon deeper reflection, with 2017 quickly winding to a close, my recent experiences has caused me to realize three things.
1.) This scripture from the bible that has encouraged me as I continue to move forward towards my intended purpose. “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens, and no one will shut, who shuts, and no one opens.” Revelation 3:7 ESV
2.) Each rejection has shown me, that opportunities that may be available for others are not necessarily meant for me. Rejection shows you which direction ‘you are not supposed to go’ either during that time period or ever. Persistence will either beat out rejection or steer you in another direction that should be followed.
3.) How much that I truly have missed writing. And, an heart-felt outpouring of friends, family, social media followers, and WP readers has shown me that my writing has been truly missed. And, has motivated me to get on the ‘Good Foot’ and start writing again.
Honestly, I had started writing because, I had deeply felt I had something to say. To make my voice be heard to help inform, inspire, and to bring a little bit of encouragement to others. Also, an attempt to briefly counteract, some of the prejudice, violence, hate, and endless negativity that is thrown in our faces by a daily bombardment of political craziness, ‘fake news’, and outrageous tragedies — Yes, I know what you are thinking, I have big dreams, right…
Now, ‘after lightly smacking myself on the forehead’. I suddenly came to the realization, that if I just stood still for a moment, be quiet, pray, and started listening to my heart. It has been telling me the entire time I truly ‘Am a writer’, through and through. That the initial plan, vision, preparation time, and hope I was putting in for my future, and time I had spent in true and sincere prayer in starting “Keeping hope alive”, was a goal that I need to keep putting in work and investing in. With my time, finances, prayers, and faith. The truth is that I have never stopped writing! All spring, summer, and most of all fall I have kept writing but didn’t to post any of it. I have found that to constantly and continuously fling a collection of materialized work that represents an investment of yourself, belief system, and time out in the world; takes a true commitment, risk of rejection, and an act of hope and faith.
How many of us, start out with a plan or vision that has come from a true place in our heart, work hard at it, then decide to abandon it, sell it, or discard it for the wrong reasons? Such as; it is costing you a lot more money than it is worth, a large amount of followers, or unexpected negative results than you had originally intended.
We are in a world and society, that people, businesses, politicians, and leaders; will extend their faith, leading them to climb up on a soapbox passionately selling an idea, idea system, product, business, business investment, or well-intended proposal for change, that will break the glass ceiling and really bring about change. Then after, adversity, over a billion voices shouting criticism, and monumental losses of money and stockholders and with a heavy heart you decide to give up and walk away. Causing intended and unintended consequences that will affect others’ lives forever on a large-scale.
There is a price to pay for everything whether if it ends up being, ‘good or bad’. The question is, “Are you willing to do the work, that will be required once you have made the decision to extend your faith?” Once, the road gets rocky, difficult, and that path you decided to follow appears to be too rocky to walk on? To truly believe in yourself after everyone else in your life is doubting or giving up on you.
Some years ago, at a church I was attending, there was a guest speaker who from Texas who had preached a sermon. And, he had said something extremely wise that had really stuck in my mind and had taken root in my heart. However, I wasn’t able to understand the true value or meaning of that sermon until now… That has helped me come to make some important life decisions including; rededicating my life to Christ, joining a new church home, re-examining current and prior life commitments.
He said, and I am paraphrasing here, “Once you finally start doing, what God has purposed in your heart to do, what he created you for, then and only then will you start to move forward towards God’s intended purpose and plan for your life.” Then as a perk, you will begin, “reaping the blessings that will increase in your life including; money, spiritual growth, connections, and friendships to complete the difficult assignment that will take you your entire lifetime to complete is set before you.”
Finally, I will leave behind this question, “Why should royalty, entertainer, CEO, billionaire, doctor, inventor, politician, or reality star be valued more period by making the sacrifices to follow their own heart initially leading them to reach their intended purpose, than a person that is ‘poor’ by society’s standards?”
If the so-called, ‘More people Important Then You’ of this world can do it, so can you. Who is to say anyway that they are more important than you anyway?

Wizards turn focus to 2018
Washington hosts five out of six games at home to open 2018
The Wizards finished December with 10 wins, winning four of their last five games to end 2017. Sitting at 21-16 heading into 2018, the Wizards may be turning the corner to go on a run. The Wizards have won seven of their last 10 games, the fourth-best mark in the NBA behind only the Raptors, Warriors, and Timberwolves. Washington would be the No. 5 seed in the East if the season ended today, but we still have 45 games to go.
There are only 13 days left to vote in the NBA All-Star Game, as Bradley Beal and John Wall have a chance to make it to Los Angeles together. For more on how to vote for your favorite Wizards players, click here.
This week’s slate…
Winners of four in a row at home and seven of their last eight, the Wizards will host six of their next seven games at home to start 2018. After last season's incredible run at home to end the season, the Wizards are back feeling like they can't be beaten on their home floor. The Wizards began their historic 17-game home winning streak around the same time last season (December 8 vs. December 19), and have a real chance to build another long home winning streak.
Washington will host the Knicks, Bucks twice, Jazz, Magic, and Nets. Out of those teams, the Bucks are the only team currently in the playoff picture. Big crowds at Capital One Arena will be needed, especially with three weekend games and a game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the first half of January.
Over the past five games, the Wizards have held opponents to an NBA-best 31.4%, despite an NBA-high 35.0 3-point attempts per game average. Overall this season, the Wizards are also holding opponents to an NBA best 33.3% 3-point shooting and are the only team allowing less than 10 triples per game.
Offensively, the Wizards are 34-72 (47.2%) from behind the arc in the last two games, recording the team-record 36 three-point attempts in each game. Washington leads the NBA in three-point shooting over the last 5 games at 42.8%.
Eastern Conference showdowns
The Wizards will host the Knicks in the first game of the season between the two teams. It will be Washington’s first look at the now Carmelo Anthony-less Knicks, who are built on playing hard and their superstar Kristaps Porzingis. The Knicks are just outside the playoff picture right now, but have been playing much better basketball this season.
On Saturday, the Bucks come to town for the first of two games in January between Washington and Milwaukee. The Wizards won the first matchup in Milwaukee during Thanksgiving week, but these teams could easily match up in the playoffs by season’s end. Containing the Bucks three-headed monster of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe, and Khris Middleton twice in two weeks is no easy task.

In America, far too many individuals suffer from chronic pain. A 2019 National Health Interview Survey revealed that 20.4% of adults in the US, mostly among seniors, suffer from chronic pain, while 7.4% experience chronic pain so debilitating it inhibits their ability to perform common life or work activities. Such chronic pain can lead to decreased quality of life, poor mental health, and an increased risk for opioid dependence.
As difficult as these conditions are, there are still many strategies individuals suffering from chronic pain can use to manage their symptoms. One such activity is pole dancing — the art of performing dance and acrobatics exercises on a vertical pole. Below, we’ll go over the many different benefits pole dancing can provide.
Physical activity is a commonly prescribed treatment for chronic pain. Since exercise helps decrease bodily inflammation, it’s effective at managing pain levels. Strength training, in particular, can also help to build muscle. The stronger your muscles are, the less load you place on joints, which thus reduces pain.
And pole dancing is an effective way of developing muscle strength. Physical therapist Colleen Freeman explains that pole dancing challenges not just core strength, but also the upper back, shoulders, neck, and grip. Consistent training can significantly improve muscle strength in just a few months, therefore reducing pain for the whole body.
Helps Burn Calories
Extra mass increases the body’s load on bones and joints. Additionally, excess fat cells can also increase bodily inflammation. Through pole dancing, individuals can burn calories and consequently decrease inflammation and load on the bones and joints. And since pole dancing targets multiple muscles in the body, it’s a particularly effective weight-loss method, one that can put you at a healthy weight within months.
Improves Mental Health
How you feel plays a key role in managing your mental health. According to the American Psychological Association, emotional and physical pain are closely linked — increased emotional pain can amplify physical pain and vice versa. Under stress, a person may develop increasingly negative perceptions of their situations. Thus, learning how to cope with stress can help individuals manage physical pain.
Pole dancing is particularly effective at improving mental health because it decreases stress and boosts confidence. By challenging your body and your comfort zones, pole dancing can help you build confidence. Additionally, like any physical activity, pole dancing boosts circulation in the brain, making it more effective at managing stress. The activity can also help promote the production of the hormones serotonin and dopamine, which are associated with improving one’s mood.
How To Get Started
Of course, pole dancing isn’t 100% risk-free, especially if you’re not used to moving around. Since the activity involves a lot of acrobatics, the wrong technique can lead to falls, sprains, or even broken bones. See a professional to determine whether the exercise is right for you. If you want to save, see if your health insurance can cover such services. KelseyCare Advantage shows that individuals with disabilities, as well as seniors aged 65 and above, can leverage their Medicare Advantage plans to cover assessments from personal care providers. Those who do not qualify for Medicare may also be able to seek coverage from Medicaid or other health insurance programs.
Once you’ve determined whether pole dancing is right for you, make sure to start with exercises your body can handle. Here at Pole Fitness Dancing, we suggest looking for instructors that can simplify dance routines according to your level and understanding. If you don’t have a pole yet, you can also start by studying proper standing and walking postures, as well as upper body conditioning exercises.
When you experience chronic pain, it can be difficult to start exercising. Fortunately, activities as fun and low-impact as pole dancing may be able to get you moving in a way that is enjoyable, and thus help you better manage your symptoms.

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Tuesday will praise local countering violent extremism efforts underway in the Twin Cities that brings together law enforcement, mosques and community leaders in hopes of halting young men tempted to travel abroad to fight with the Islamic State, Clinton's campaign said Tuesday.
Last month at the Council of Foreign Relations, Clinton laid out a three-part plan for defeating ISIS and "winning the broader struggle against radical jihadism," the campaign said. Later Tuesday, in a speech at 3 p.m. at the University of Minnesota, Clinton will also detail the third element of her plan: how to defend the country and prevent radicalization here at home.
From the campaign: "Clinton's address Tuesday will call for a #360-degree strategy to keep America safe countering terrorists from every angle and stopping every step in the process that could lead to another San Bernardino, from recruitment to training to planning to attacks."
Clinton's five-part plan includes: shutting down domestic ISIS recruitment, stopping would-be jihadists from getting training overseas, discover and disrupt plots before they can be carried out, support law enforcement officers and empower Muslim-American communities on the front lines of the fight against radicalization.
Minneapolis is part of a nationwide pilot project to counter violent extremism. The project, led by Minnesota's top federal prosecutor Andy Luger, brings together law enforcement, Muslim religious leaders and youth groups in trying to target youth early who may be at-risk or vulnerable from the effective recruiting practices to join fighters in Syria or Iraq.
So far, ten Somali-American men from Minnesota have been charged with attempting to go abroad to fight with ISIL.
The countering violent extremism efforts, also called CVE, were praised earlier this year at the White House. Some local Muslim leaders have criticized the program because they think it puts law enforcement in compromising positions with the community.
Republicans countered early Tuesday that Clinton's efforts are just like President Obama's -- and labeled the approach as weak.
"This is the backdrop of Clinton's speech today -- a more chaotic world, and a homeland made less safe due to the failed approach she and President Obama have supported over the past seven years," the Republican National Committee said in a statement Tuesday.

Over the past two decades, my work with commercial photography and video placed me right in the center of an emerging technical culture in the Silicon Valley- I found myself working everyday with industrial and graphic designers, as well as corporate visionaries. As a working photographer I had a unique window into this culture, which seemed very "hard and shiny" but was always driven by human factors and desires. If there was a theme to my work from this period, it was a concern with the way our newest machines play into personal relationships, or the way we form relationships with them. I was always drawn to evidence of emotion and human feeling.
This new site, RickEnglishArt, shows the new work I have produced while working on my MFA degree, which I have just completed. This work is about physical space, but also about how it marks the movement of time. A thread runs through this work about the passage of time and the inevitable change of the physical world, as well as our memories of it. I have worked extensively with the surfaces of the newest prints, as well as with new transfer and digital processes.
12 months after receiving my MFA, I accepted the position of Chair and Professor of Photography at The Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA. I am now teaching and it has been a fantastic experience.
- "The manner in which the images infiltrate physical surfaces, dissolving yet calling attention to the boundaries of architectural or spatial structures, gives literal form to the ambiguous status of the line that divides interior and exterior".

Town of Palm Beach will move to mask requirement for public meetings at Town Hall
The spike in Palm Beach County's COVID-19 positivity rates has Palm Beach officials concerned, and going forward, masks will be required for public meetings at Town Hall.
Town Council President Margaret Zeidman told the Daily News Friday that the move is in keeping with the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation to wear masks indoors because of the county's high positivity rate. Zeidman, Mayor Danielle Moore and Town Manager Kirk Blouin agreed to implement the mask mandate at meetings, Zeidman said.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the town said the county's positivity rate had increased from 2.4 percent for the week ending March 12, to 19.23 percent for the week ending May 28. This data, according to the CDC, puts the county and South Florida as a whole at a high risk for community transmission.
Infections have once again become so widespread, and hospitalizations so high, that the CDC recommends people mask up indoors and on public transportation in South Florida — Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties — as well as in the Tampa Bay area, and Sarasota, Polk and Alachua counties.
"We will continue to monitor the county positivity rate, which is clearly higher than 19% since many COVID infections are not reported to the Department of Health or the CDC," Zeidman said.
She added: "We should all keep in mind that this is not 2020. We have vaccines and effective treatments and we know much more than we did about how this virus is transmitted."
Blouin told the Daily News on Thursday that the focus is on encouraging residents to follow the CDC guidelines.
"The Town of Palm Beach reinforces and supports the prevention strategies based on guidance from the experts at the CDC with the goal of protecting the island’s vulnerable population," the release said.
Officials are encouraging residents to wear a mask while indoors in public, stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, get tested if they have symptoms and consider additional precautions for people at higher risk for severe illness.
People with symptoms, a positive test or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask, the town said.
When the pandemic hit in March 2020, the town reacted swiftly with measures that included closing the beaches and declaring a state of emergency.
The town instituted a mask mandate for town-owned properties last summer in response to a surge of cases fueled by the highly transmissible delta variant, and it had remained in place through a second spike in cases earlier this year caused by the omicron variant.
The mandate ended in March after a steady decline in cases.
"We are all tired of this virus but we will do what we can to keep the transmission in check," Zeidman said, noting that there will be periods of high transmission.
COVID, when compared to the flu, seems to cause some longer-term health issues in some people, she said, and because the data is incomplete it's "difficult to ascertain just how concerned we should be. Until that becomes more clear we should do what we can to limit transmission."
Underscoring Zeidman's sentiments, Blouin said: "We all have COVID fatigue ... but I'll probably start avoiding restaurants and wearing my mask in the grocery store again."

I have chosen a prompt for my post:
Do you have a mantra/quote/song that got you through a dark time?
I know you're shocked right I am going to write about Music and Mental Health!
I have written before about my 'theme tune' my latest is Dance Without Sleeping by Melissa Etheridge (hence the blog name if you didn't already know).
I use music to help me through the tough times, I like having something to escape into and find that music helps sooth my soul. I often find it hard to explain how I am feeling, especially while I am inside the darkness.
In 2007 I had my worse bout of depression it was actually when I finally diagnosed as having depression. I had a lot of time off work and found myself alone at lot. There were two tracks I listened too over and over again.
One was Grace Kelly by Mika and the other was How to Save a Life by The Fray. It was all over the radio and I suppose I was hoping would come and save me.
It's funny what songs speak to you and provoke a reaction. You can always tell my mood from the music I am playing.
What track to do listen to when you're in need?
I shall leave you will How to Save a Life, oh and its not too late to submit a post!


The Federal Communications Commission sent Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and General Electric (NYSE:GE) a fresh batch of questions late Monday regarding the cable giant’s proposed deal to take over control of NBC Universal.
Continue Reading Below
The FCC sent Comcast 31 additional questions and 10 for NBC. The regulator is seeking responses from the two parties by October 18.
Among other things, the two companies were asked to provide the average per-subscriber advertising revenues for the past five years for their prospective networks and a list of their top 20 advertisers.
Additionally, the FCC asked Comcast, the No. 1 U.S. cable provider, to detail its subscriber rate changes in the past two years and its plans to boost broadband services to underserved regions.
The companies have said the deal, which values NBCU at $13.75 billion, is expected to close later this year if regulators sign off on it. In addition to the FCC, the NBCU transaction is being reviewed by the Justice Department.
NBCU CEO Jeff Zucker recently announced plans to step down once the deal closes, and Comcast tapped Stephen Burke, its chief operating officer, to take his place.
Aside from the NBC broadcast network, the media company owns CNBC, Universal Studios and a cluster of other cable networks, including USA.
Shares of both companies were on the rise on Tuesday amid a broad market rally. Comcast’s stock was up 1.3% to $17.90, while GE’s shares climbed 1% to $16.26.


Within 30 days after the filing with the clerk of the board of supervisors or county board of supervisors of the resolution declaring the organization of the district, the supervising board of supervisors shall appoint the required number of library trustees from the district at large.

The Earn It Keep It Save It-Southeastern Utah Association of Governments Coalition, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) and the IRS are seeking community volunteers across Utah and especially in Carbon, Grand, Emery and San Juan Counties to provide free tax assistance to those who need help filing their taxes.
Who volunteers? People like you. VITA volunteers serve in a variety of roles. Volunteers are needed to electronically file tax returns, greet taxpayers and help organize their paperwork, set up and keep running computer equipment used to electronically file tax returns, manage the tax site and do quality review.
“VITA needs fellow Utahns all across the state and at this time, from Castle Dale and Price and other communities such as Moab and Monticello. We are looking for area volunteers who are interested in taking a little time to learn about taxes and then helping others by preparing federal and state income tax returns for free,” said IRS spokesperson Leland Smith. “Volunteers are certified to prepare simple, non-business tax returns for people with low to moderate incomes. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to volunteer. There is a role for anyone who is interested, anyone who wants to help and give back to their community.”
Free training will be scheduled for the December-January time frame. The instruction and training materials cover how to prepare basic individual income tax returns, both federal and state and how to file them electronically. Volunteer hours are flexible and the free tax help sites are located in near-by community centers, libraries, schools and other similar places.
During the past tax season statewide, 854 VITA volunteers prepared 20,969 federal returns resulting in $24.2 million in tax refunds and $8.34 million in Earned Income Tax Credit being claimed.
For more information on becoming a VITA volunteer or questions, please contact Geri Gamber at 435-637-5444 or go to www.utahtaxhelp.org to sign up.

GSK malaria vaccine could be available in three years
GlaxoSmithKline is ready to take the first step in getting the vaccine to market after promising trial results showing it was effective in protecting children and babies from malaria for up to 18 months. The pharmaceuticals giant plans to submit the vaccine to EU regulators next year, which means, if approved, it could be widely available by 2016.
The World Health Organisation has already indicated that a policy recommendation for the vaccine, the most advanced treatment anywhere in the world by at least 10 years, could be made by 2015 if it clears regulatory hurdles. GSK scientists have spent nearly three decades developing a vaccine against malaria, one of the world’s deadliest diseases.
The vaccine has faced a number of setbacks during final-stage testing, but GSK and its partners believe the treatment has proven effective enough to make a “significant impact” on the health of millions of young children in Africa.
The latest results, unveiled today , show that the vaccine nearly halves the number of malaria cases in children between five and 17 months old for at least 18 months following the initial shot. GSK is running its malaria programme as a non-profit operation, but has not yet disclosed how much it will cost to make the vaccine.
Il y a quelques années, quand il était à la mode de diaboliser les grandes sociétés pharmaceutiques, on trouvait toujours un gauchiste pour dire « les pharmaceutiques sont là uniquement pour le profit; c’est pour cette raison qu’ils ne font rien contre la malaria, une maladie touchant des pays pauvres ». Vous me direz que ce n’est pas la première fois que la gauche se couvre de ridicule et vous aurez raison…
On peut toujours espérer que la gauche se rachète en ne répétant pas sa croisade anti-vaccin.
