Midnight Spider-Man #1 Review
Midnight Spider-Man #1 introduces a grim, horror-focused take on Peter Parker within the Midnight Universe. The story centers on corporate corruption and body horror rather than traditional superhero action.
Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson presents a world where Peter Parker acts as an investigative blogger exposing corporate malfeasance. The issue relies heavily on visceral, gore-filled imagery and a slow-burn narrative that establishes a bleak atmosphere. While the lack of immediate superhero action may surprise some readers, the art by SCIETRONC effectively captures a disturbing, manga-influenced aesthetic. It serves as a strong, albeit unsettling, foundation for the new series.
