Overview
- Marvel confirmed that Midnight Spider‑Man #1, Midnight Fantastic Four #1, and Midnight X‑Men #1 will debut together on October 7, 2026, a rollout revealed across coverage on Aug. 27–28.
- Midnight Fantastic Four is written by Benjamin Percy with art by Kev Walker and is billed as an origin story that moves the team from New York to California and remakes their family as toxic and complicated.
- Percy said the book draws on real California touchstones such as cult history, Jack Parsons, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to ground its cosmic and body‑horror elements.
- Marvel released first‑look interior art for all three debut issues and teased covers for each title’s issue #3, which are scheduled to go on sale December 16, 2026.
- The Midnight line is being marketed as a concentrated, creator‑driven experiment to tell darker, more mature Marvel stories and will test how readers respond to horror reworkings of familiar characters.
