Next month, the Midnight Suns will make their return to the Marvel Universe! The world's fiercest mystical defenders will be called upon to battle a dangerous new enemy in a limited series by writer Ethan Sacks and artist Luigi Zagaria.
The publisher promises that this series will embrace the legacy of the original fan-favourite series with a new lineup that better reflects today's Marvel Universe. Midnight Suns will star Marvel’s hottest mystical defenders and fiercest fighters including Blade, Kushala, the Ghost Rider known as Spirit Rider, Magik, Wolverine, Nico Minoru, and Strange Academy's Zoe Laveau.
Now, Marvel Comics has released a trailer for the series teasing what happens when this group first assembles after a horrifying threat from the late Sorcerer Supreme's past emerges and claims Zoe Laveau as its first target. This team will have to fight like hell to overcome the darkest of threats, and this sneak peek features never-before-seen artwork.
A dark prophecy and apocalyptic new villains with horrifying powers the likes of which Earth has never faced before ordains a team of Midnight Suns to rise and tear @#$% up! But what does this new threat have to do with the Sorcerer Supreme's past? And why is Strange Academy student Zoe Laveau number one on the Suns' list?
The saga that follows will impact the very fabric of magic in the main Marvel Comics universe, revealing deep secrets and impacting characters such as Agatha Harkness, Doctor Doom, the students of Strange Academy, and more.
"This series has some twists and turns that pay homage to things that I love about this genre of the Marvel Universe," Sacks recently told CBR. "This is my first book with magic. It's been great playing with some of those fantasy elements and some of the real-world horrors threaded in via allegory. That stuff made me a fan of Doctor Strange and the original Midnight Sons. So, it's been such a blessing to get to play in this part of the sandbox."
We'll get to behold a new era of Marvel magic when Midnight Suns #1 hits stands on September 14. For now, check out the trailer below along with David Nakayama's cover:
