doctorofmagic: Marvel has announced a Midnight Suns comic book to match the game release in September!“Coming in September, Ethan Sacks and Luigi Zagaria assemble a new team of mystical heroes in ‘Midnight Suns’ #1.”It’s the first time we’re getting a book with the name of the team, since they were more like arcs/crossovers.The team matches some characters in the game (which explains Wolverine), along with Nico and Illyana. Instead of Robbie or Johnny as the Ghost Rider, we’re getting Kushala (yes!!!), whereas Blade has been part of the team since the very beginning (it’s his 4th, making him the only character to be a member in all four versions). Lastly, we’re getting Zoe (SHE’S FINALLY FREE FROM STRANGE ACADEMY YEEES, LET’S GOOO)!Personally, I’m sad that it’s the first Stephen isn’t around to gather the team (it has always been him or Wong). But I’m also absurdly happy to see Illyana, Nico, Zoe and Kushala!!There’s a mispelling discourse going on (Midnight Sons/Suns) but honestly I don’t mind that much since both are great names and one of them doesn’t imply it’s a team made exclusively of men. So all good, all nice for me.“A dark prophesy 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 said. “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,” he said of his collaborator. “It’s just stunning work. He’s at the top of his game.” MIDNIGHT SUNS #1 (OF 5) Written by ETHAN SACKS Art by LUIGI ZAGARIA Cover by DAVID NAKAYAMA On Sale 9/14 [Full article here]It seems that Stephen will be involved (sorta), now let’s wait and see how they portray him in the flashback since it’s all we’re getting for now :’)PS: I adored this team! It’s almost my perfect cast, it’s only missing Jericho and Stephen, but it’s okay, we’re getting Magik and Zoe in their places. Super hyped for this. I’ve been dying to have Illyana and Nico interact more in canon. One of my crackships. -- source link
