Malevolent # 4 Bivens NSFW I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant 2026 BN

Malevolent #4 is a significant issue in the Image Comics sci-fi horror series, functioning as a prequel/flashback issue that details how the "Mals" (demonic entities) first invaded the world thirty years ago.

Released on May 13, 2026, this issue is unique because it is both written and fully illustrated by Felipe Sobreiro, who usually serves as the series' colorist.

Key Plot Points

• The Origin Story: The issue explains the "Earth Event Horizon Deal," a failed scientific experiment that accidentally cracked open the gates of Hell.
• Adaptation: It explores how humanity initially struggled and eventually adapted to surviving in a world haunted by demons.
• Standalone Appeal: Because it is a flashback, the creative team has noted that it serves as an excellent entry point for new readers to jump into the series.
