Agatha Harkness Takes Center Stage In Marvel’s ‘Crypt Of Shadows’
by Tony Thornley
Marvel has featured a few annual specials that have become a bit of tradition. This October one of those traditions continues with the latest Crypt of Shadows, and one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s stars is along for the ride.
As Agatha Harkness’s Agatha All Along makes a mark on Disney+, the series star will be featured in the annual Crypt of Shadows one-shot. Harkness will be featured in the special’s framing story from Steve Orlando and Claire Roe, while the rest of the special will place Marvel’s biggest heroes and villains against the forces of darkness:
· The Curse of the Man-Thing spreads from the darkest bayou to the high seas, making him the target of the King of Atlantis, Namor! See them fight it out in this gruesome tale from writer Benjamin Percy and artist Raffaele Ienco.
· Kraven the MONSTER Hunter! Spidey’s deadliest villain takes aim at Jack Russell, Werewolf By Night, but bites off more than he can chew when the Daywalker Blade arrives to help his old friend! Find out who is left standing in this bloody face-off written by Jason Loo and drawn by Carlos Magno.
· Joshua Jovan, the seasoned monster hunter from Marvel Studios’ Special Presentation Werewolf by Night, makes his comics debut in a story by writer Chris Condon and artist Djibril Morissette. Jovan falls through the fabled Last Door and finds himself stalking his greatest prey yet—the Scarlet Witch!
Check out the covers to the special from Leinil Yu, Juan Ferreyra, and Martin Simmonds, plus some bonus preview pages, and watch for the 2024 edition of Crypt of Shadows #1 on October 16th!
