Marvel is getting into the spooky season with the announcement of Crypt of Shadows #1. The special Halloween one-shot features a fantastic lineup of artists and writers. They will take readers on a journey to some of the scariest corners of the Marvel Universe. Just in time for Halloween, Crypt of Shadows #1 hits shelves on October 19th.
What is Marvel’s Crypt of Shadows?
The special horror issue pays homage to the original 1970’s anthology series of the same name. The giant-sized Halloween-esque one-shot of Crypt of Shadows features a collection of eerie stories that show off how scary the Marvel Universe can be. An all-star cast of talent is taking some of Marvel’s best superheroes on horror-themed adventures. They include Moon Knight, Wolverine, Elsa Bloodstone, Man-Thing, and Werewolf by Night. Plus, Bloodline, Blade’s daughter who recently popped up in the Marvel Universe, will make an appearance.
Who is in Charge of the Supernatural Stories?
To bring the horrors of the Marvel world to life, the publisher enlisted the help of some of the best. It includes Chris Cooper, the former Marvel editor known for his work on the original Darkhold series. This time, he is sending Morbius on an adventure alongside Victoria Montesi. Along with Cooper, fan-favorite creators Al Ewing, Danny Lore, Rebecca Roanhorse, Adam Warren, and Chris Condon are crafting their own spine-tinglers. They are joined by Karen S. Darboe, Geoff Shaw, Ibrahim Moustafa, and more to give readers a nightmare-inducing good time.
Normally, the heroes of the Marvel Universe spend their time fighting in the sun or high in a bright blue sky. However, this time, they must venture into the darkness that awaits in every corner. In that darkness, they will come face-to-face with the creatures and horror that lurk there, waiting to prey on the innocent.
For now, that is all we know to expect from Crypt of Shadows. Surely, there is much more horror for readers in the darkness of this giant-sized issue’s pages.
