Marvel's Midnight Universe Horror Redesign Explained

Marvel just dropped news about the Midnight Universe, a new horror-focused imprint that'll reimagine some of their biggest characters as monstrous variants. This isn't built around a single character or team—it's more of a thematic umbrella for darker, grittier takes on the Marvel roster. The company's already shown off several reimagined heroes getting the horror treatment, suggesting this could be a substantial ongoing initiative rather than a one-off event. It's an interesting way to explore character mythology through a different lens.
