Midnight X-Men #1 is almost here, bringing with it the first peek into the new Midnight Universe from Marvel Comics. And in advance of the August debut, the publisher is giving a sneak peek at the interiors of the book from artist Matteo Della Fonte (alongside writing by Jonathan Hickman).
“We were very keen to have Matteo on this series, and we have not been disappointed. His storytelling is so good, and he is absolutely nailing every aspect of Jonathan’s script,” said Jordan D. White, senior editor of the series, via press release. “I could not be more thrilled to be working on shaping the Midnight line. Everyone has been cut loose and is truly firing on all cylinders. I cannot wait for everyone to see these books.”
Marvel has also revealed an homage variant cover by Björn Barends, which is a lot of fun. And if you want more of a tease, check out our podcast with Benjamin Percy, which features one of his first ever interviews on the upcoming Midnight Fantastic Four.
Midnight X-Men #1 hits stores on August 5, 2026. Check out the covers, interior pages and synopsis below.
