Ruling A World That Fears Them — Marvel Reveals First Look At ‘Midnight X-Men’
by Tony Thornley
This summer, a horrifying new take on the Marvel Universe will debut. To build fan anticipation, Marvel has pulled back the curtain for an inside look at the vampire horror series Midnight X-Men.
Featuring the return of Jonathan Hickman to the X-Men, Midnight X-Men is the first of Marvel’s new Midnight Universe, featuring horror takes on some of our favorite heroes. Joining him is artist Matteo Della Fonte, with covers by Dike Ruan.
“We were very keen to have Matteo on this series, and we have not been disappointed. His storytelling is so good, and he is absolutely nailing every aspect of Jonathan’s script,” said Jordan D. White, senior editor of the series. “I could not be more thrilled to be working on shaping the Midnight line. Everyone has been cut loose and is truly firing on all cylinders. I cannot wait for everyone to see these books.”
To build excitement, Marvel released the first unlettered, uncolored pages from the story, featuring Nightcrawler, Storm, and Phoenix, and Magneto’s family, as well as a Fright Night-inspired horror movie variant from Bjorn Barends.
