A Marvel Comics trailer of the narrative , written by Rodney Barnes with artistic production by Danilo S. Beyruth and color by Rachelle Rosenberg , open with Cloak and Dagger on patrol in New York City , and it ’s unmortgaged from Dagger ’s narration that all is not well . She mention the changes that have come over Cloak since theKing in Black ’s arrival . Cloak has become more cold and distant than he ever has before , and the psychical link between them has been compromised . But most shocking of all , Cloak has begun to abandon his humanity , turning the Darkforce idle on criminals , apparently mean to utilize them to gormandize the hunger of the orphic force he commands . A overwrought Dagger notes that it ’s almost as if Cloak has merged his inner darkness with that of the King in Black .
If Knull is capable to fully corrupted Cloak and gain statement of the Darkforce , then he will have an extremely powerful arm at his garbage disposal - one which could even protect him against light vigour , which has rise to be one of his few impuissance . The King in Black has already prove the power to manipulate unexpected form of darkness ; for instance , his command over the Void - the alternate personality of the Sentry - permit him totear Marvel ’s most powerful champion in halfwith minimal try . But the Void was merely one being , while Cloak can access an entiredimension .
The Darkforce is already a wildly severe energy barely kept in check by Cloak and Dagger ’s best efforts , and it ’s potential Knull would have even greater mastery of it than Tyrone has displayed in the past . There is no apprisal just how much damage Knull could visit with a whole dimension ’s worth of office behind him , not to name Cloak ’s unconstipated powers of teleportation , impalpability , and draining life-time force out . TheKing in Blackhas made several tactical mistakesin his tone-beginning on Earth , but if he successfully pull ahead control ofCloak , his supremacy would be all but assured . Hopefully , Daggercan find a way to serve her partner when the issue hits comic retailers April 7 .
