Midnight X-Men #1: Vampires Among Us
Jonathan Hickman returns to the X-Men franchise with a dark, horror-focused reinvention under Marvel's new Midnight imprint. The story explores a complex conflict involving vampires, mutants, and the Catholic Church in a gritty, mature setting.
The debut issue introduces a dense mythology featuring multiple factions and visceral, gore-heavy artwork by Matteo Della Fonte. While the narrative is ambitious and establishes a unique tone, it occasionally feels overwhelming due to the sheer amount of world-building presented. This series positions itself as a mature, R-rated take on mutant lore that stands apart from the main Marvel continuity.
