This October, Marvel Comics will take some of our favourite heroes and throw them into tales of fangs, claws and silent, stalking swamp creatures to celebrate All Hallows' Eve in Crypt Of Shadows #1.
Paying homage to the original 1970s Crypt Of Shadows anthology series, the giant-sized one-shot will feature a collection of stories that showcase just how creepy the Marvel Universe can be. It's said that we can expect supernatural adventures starring Moon Knight, Wolverine, Elsa Bloodstone, Man-Thing, and Werewolf by Night among others.
As if that's not exciting enough, we'll also see the return of Bloodline, the daughter of Blade who made her first appearance earlier this year in Free Comic Book Day: Avengers/X-Men #1.
Bringing the horror will be an incredible lineup of talent including former Marvel editor Chris Cooper, known for his groundbreaking work on the original Darkhold series, with a story featuring Morbius and the star of Cooper's Darkhold saga, Victoria Montesi.
Joining him with spine-chilling tales of their own will be creators Al Ewing, Danny Lore, Rebecca Roanhorse, Adam Warren, Chris Condon, Karen S. Darboe, Geoff Shaw, Ibrahim Moustafa, and more.
The heroes of the Marvel Universe spend most of their time in the bright sun, flying high above it all...but every once in a while, they venture into the darkness that lurks in the hidden corners of the world. There lurk the creatures, the monsters, the vampires...the ones who prey on innocence and goodness.
We anticipate having more to share about Crypt Of Shadows in the coming weeks, including story details and creative team announcements.
In the meantime, you can check out the main cover by Leinil Francis Yu below ahead of this one-shot's arrival in comic book stories this October. It should be a fun Halloween all round, though, as Marvel Studios is expected to release its Werewolf by Night Special on Disney+ to celebrate the spooky season as well.
