Publisher Description. The light had its turn. At the recent “Marvel Comics: Midnight Universe Panel” at San Diego Comic-Con, all three Midnight writers – Jonathan Hickman, Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Benjamin Percy – shed more light on their upcoming titles and their shared vision for this terrifying new line. Revealed during the panel were the second issue covers for each title – Midnight Spider-Man, Midnight Fantastic Four and Midnight X-Men – along with the unveiling of additional variant covers.
Befitting the line’s ominous tone, the main covers of the Midnight titles will be presented in Cloaked Cover trade dress that conceals the full artwork until readers open the issue. With the exception of the debut issues, the full artwork will remain shrouded in shadow, only revealing themselves to those who pick them up on stands. While the newly revealed #2 covers offer a glimpse into the horrors ahead, new variant covers spotlight Iceman’s chilling new form, Peter Parker’s monstrous transformation and more.
