How are we feeling about the Marvel Midnight line - Launching October 7, 2026? Which, if any, are you picking up?
So, Marvel Midnight launches on October 7, 2026, and the three new titles will be the **only three books released for Marvel on that date.**
This "Midnight Universe" line features dark, horror-reimagined takes across three popular Marvel properties. (The following synopses were taken from the web):
* **Midnight Spider-Man**: Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by ScieTronc, featuring a Junji Ito-inspired body-horror twist where Oscorp mutates Peter Parker into a grotesque spider hybrid.
* **Midnight Fantastic Four**: Written by Benjamin Percy with art by Kev Walker, exploring a cosmic, Lovecraftian origin where mad science and cults warp the team.
* **Midnight X-Men**: Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Matteo Della Fonte, focusing on grim power struggles and supernatural/vampiric threats.
Looking at the previews, including from the Marvel advanced sheet book that was released last week, I have to say I'm a little turned off by the preview art for the Fantastic Four title. It looks a bit cartooney to me.
Shame because I am a regular FF reader, and the early images we saw for the art style unfortunately, turned out to be an alternative cover for Issue 1 and not representative of the interiors. Here's a spoiler-free peek at the style of the Midnight FF art:

I think I'm still going to give it a go despite not being a fan of the art style.
Otherwise, haven't been a regular Spider-Man or X-Men reader. Not that it matters here, as the books will be brand new takes.
I'm a bit zombie and vampired out, so I think I'll pick up Midnight Spider-Man at release and give it a go, and pass on X-Men.
If Midnight X-Men turns out to be a great book, I can always get on board a bit later.
So what are your thoughts on the Midnight line?
I'm going to be picking up FF and Spider-Man and giving them a trial run. Unless a book is complete hot garbage (think it's happened once in the last 3-4 years), if I start a new series, I give it at least three Issues to hook me.
You picking any up? If so, which?
