Episode Details

A few months ago Marvel Comics announced a new horror imprint “Midnight Marvel” and three new titles that would be debuting this October: Midnight Fantastic Four, Midnight X-Men, and Midnight Spider-Man. The objective is simple, let’s take three iconic Marvel comics and put them through the horror lens to see what happens! Whether it’s cosmic horror with the Fantastic Four, vampiric horror with the X-Men, or body horror with Spider-Man it looks like Midnight Marvel has something for every fan of horror to enjoy!

With Jon unavailable to record, it’s up to Corey and Dylan to wade through the initial solicitations and covers for these three upcoming Marvel tales to see if you can judge a book by its cover!

🧟 Sit back and relax as the Smark Avengers (minus one) dissect Midnight Marvel:

• Are the uniform covers strong branding or bad design choice if placed on the new release wall in stores?
• How strong of a premise is the Fantastic Four encountering unspeakable cosmic horror?
• Is Hickman’s X-Men versus vampires original or is it too surface level for the mind behind the Krakoan Age?
• What separates Midnight Spider-Man from the other horror takes on Peter Parker?

All of this and more!
