Jonathan Hickman Returns To X-Men in Midnight X-Men

Marvel is taking classic heroes down a darker and more twisted path in their upcoming "Midnight" initiative. For the X-Men, that means becoming blood-hungry in a world of vampires.

Marvel is launching the Midnight universe with new stories featuring the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, with Jonathan Hickman teaming up with Matteo Della Fonte for Midnight X-Men. The story will see vampires and a very different-looking X-Men than usual on the brink of war with a dangerous terror being unleashed across the world.

Midnight X-Men #1 features cover art by Dike Ruan, with variants coming from Bjorn Barends, Clayton Crain, and more yet-to-be-revealed artists. Check out the main cover art and text solicit below.
