Posted on by Leave a comment

The darkness is coming.

On October 7, Marvel’s newest storytelling initiative, the Midnight Universe, makes its debut with a unified launch of three bold new titles: Midnight Spider-Man #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc, Midnight Fantastic Four #1 by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker and Midnight X-Men #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte. The three debut issues—the only Marvel comics released that day—will usher in a creator-driven line where some of Marvel’s most acclaimed modern talents are given free rein to reimagine the world’s greatest heroes in chilling and daring new ways. Fans can get their first taste of what awaits with the new Midnight Universe Trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork from all three titles.

With boundaryless storytelling and rich interconnected mythology, the Midnight Universe offers an exciting entry point for new readers while giving longtime fans a thrilling new take on their favorite heroes. In Midnight Spider-Man #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc, Spider-Man discovers that with great power… comes something monstrous. In Midnight Fantastic Four #1 by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker, a scientist’s curiosity accidentally unleashes ancient terrors upon the world while also transforming himself and three others in strange and horrifying ways. In Midnight X-Men #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte, the X-Men’s battle is no longer one of acceptance, but of survival…and blood.

Check out all of the covers for the debut issues of each series!

Doctor Doom turns heads and vanquishes all in Doom All-On-One from Al Ewing and Alessandro Cappuccio

Posted on by

Once a year on Midsummer Eve, when the walls between worlds are thin, Doctor Doom travels to Hell to challenge Mephisto for his mother’s soul. This October, writer Al Ewing and artist Alessandro Cappuccio detail one of Doom’s most valiant efforts to save his mother as he takes on the entire Marvel Universe in Doom All-On-One #1, an explosive and action packed one-shot told entirely in landscape-oriented splash pages.

Doom All-On-One #1 follows in the footsteps of 2025’s Marvel All-On-One #1 by Ryan North and Ed McGuinness, another 50-page epic which saw The Thing clobber many of Marvel’s heroes and villains, and Fantastic Four (1961) #252 by John Byrne, which detailed the FF’s journey into the Negative Zone entirely in landscape-style storytelling. Unlike the FF, Doom has no allies on his journey into hell. Doom is entirely on his own.

… AND DOOM HAS THEM OUTNUMBERED!

For decades, Doctor Doom challenged the demon Mephisto as only DOOM would dare — because he could! And also for the freedom of his mother’s soul! This is the tale of his greatest such challenge — as Doom battles the entire Marvel Universe across the searing flames of perdition itself! Does the Marvel Universe have a hope in literal heck? Find out, Doom Believers — across fifty, count ’em, FIFTY wide-screen pages of the eschatological brawl to end ’em all!

Check out the main cover and interior pages from Doom All-On-One #1 by Alessandro Cappuccio plus variant covers by Greg Capullo and InHyuk Lee.
