Marvel’s New Horror Direction: Is It Too Much Gore?

The Midnight Universe is bringing a new level of horror to Marvel Comics!

In this clip from #705: A Tribute to Peter Cullen, Don and Dave break down the official trailer for Marvel’s brand-new Midnight Universe. The X-Men are vampires, the gore is turned up to eleven, and the supernatural corner of the Marvel Universe is getting darker than ever just in time for the spooky season. We discuss our initial reactions to the shock value, whether turning mutants into the oppressors crosses a line, and our thoughts on the creative team bringing this to life—including Jonathan Hickman and Benjamin Percy.

Plus, we speculate on where characters like Blade fit into this bloody new reality and pitch why horror-writer Rich Douek needs a book in this universe.

What do you think of this dark Marvel setting? Are you looking forward to the Midnight Universe, or is it too gory for your taste? Let us know in the comments!
