Midnight X-Men #1 Review
Jonathan Hickman returns to the X-Men with a compelling and complex new universe that blends mutant lore with vampire horror. The debut issue successfully establishes a high-stakes world filled with competing factions and gruesome, grounded visuals.
The story introduces a complicated landscape where mutants, humans, and vampire mutants navigate a dangerous war. Matteo Della Fonte provides a realistic and visceral art style that effectively captures the series' darker tone. While the action is sparse until the final act, the intricate world-building makes this a promising start. Readers are left with enough mystery to justify following the series as the larger narrative architecture unfolds.
