This September, 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. The team's new iteration will consist of Blade, Kushala, the Ghost Rider also known as Spirit Rider, Magik, Wolverine, Nico Minoru, and Zoe Laveau, the breakout character from Strange Academy!
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?
"As a fan of the original Midnight Sons, I am honored and stoked to continue that legacy, and I'm grateful to editor Tom Groneman for giving me the chance to dabble in this mystical corner of the Marvel Universe," Sacks says. "We're going to conjure up some wild otherworldly action to go along with some themes that have real world resonance. Having fallen in love with the team book concept on Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, I'm primed and ready to put this lineup of heroes through hell...so to speak."
"Seeing the first issue pages come in, I can also say artist Luigi Zagaria's art is going to cast a spell over readers," Sacks said of his collaborator. "It's just stunning work. He's at the top of his game."
Of course, the timing of this comic book arriving in stores coincides nicely with the Midnight Suns video game that's set to arrive in October. That also includes Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Blade, so we're sure the roster of both teams being this similar is no coincidence.
