The new Midnight line will debut ongoing variant cover programs, with recurring themes across Covers A-E, as well as additional variant covers.

Marvel’s new Midnight line introduces innovative variant cover programs and bold storytelling, launching titles like MIDNIGHT SPIDER-MAN, MIDNIGHT FANTASTIC FOUR, and MIDNIGHT X-MEN.

The press release follows:

Media Release – Marvel’s new Midnight line is breaking all the rules. From Cloaked Covers to a dedicated same-day release, the line’s bold storytelling is matched by innovative publishing initiatives designed to spark excitement for comic shops and fans. Today, Marvel Comics proudly unveils new variant covers for the debut issues—MIDNIGHT SPIDER-MAN #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc, MIDNIGHT FANTASTIC FOUR #1 by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker, and MIDNIGHT X-MEN #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte—and announces all-new ONGOING VARIANT COVER PROGRAMS for the three titles.



While the stories found inside the Midnight series may be unpredictable, it’ll be easier than ever before for fans to pick out the cover of their choice. Starting with issue #1, each MIDNIGHT series will feature recurring themes across Covers labeled A-E. Bringing greater accessibility and consistency to the variant cover collecting experience, this new program allows readers to choose their favorites and ensure that their local comic shop knows exactly what they’ll want, every month, without question. Additional variant covers will also be available on issues outside of the ONGOING VARIANT COVER PROGRAMS.

The themes for A-E Covers are:

COVER A REGULAR

COVER B MIDNIGHT BLOODBATH VARIANT

COVER C MIDNIGHT SPECIAL VARIANT

COVER D MIDNIGHT HORROR HOMAGE VARIANT

COVER E MIDNIGHT GALLERY VARIANT

With boundaryless storytelling, shocking twists and rich interconnected lore, the MIDNIGHT UNIVERSE is perfect for both new readers and longtime fans to enjoy.

In MIDNIGHT SPIDER-MAN #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc, Spider-Man discovers that with great power… comes something monstrous.

In MIDNIGHT FANTASTIC FOUR #1 by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker, a scientist’s curiosity accidentally unleashes ancient terrors upon the world while also transforming himself and three others in strange and horrifying ways.

And in MIDNIGHT X-MEN #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte, the X-Men’s battle is no longer one of acceptance, but of survival…and blood.
