The light had its turn.
Marvel Comics is launching Midnight, a bold new publishing line from a superstar roster of creators that reimagines some of Marvel’s biggest heroes through horror.
The line kicks off in August with:
• Midnight X-Men by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte
• Midnight Fantastic Four by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker
• Midnight Spider-Man by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Scie Tronc
Today, Marvel gives us a new look at the full-blown horror Midnight X-Men, with a cover that pays homage to the original Fright Night poster, Tom Holland’s 1985 classic that was also about vampires.
The cover is by Björn Barends, who has delivered a handful of classic Absolute Batman variants, along with this neon-soaked Absolute Catwoman banger.
In Midnight X-Men, the shadows of New York City are stalked by vampires and the mutant empyres. The sword of Damocles hangs over the peace between these two species and the factions within them. An outright war is brewing and the unturned will be caught in the crossfire.
