Marvel Comics is never afraid to take risks and has proven that time and time again. However, despite their history in the genre, moving in a more horror-centric direction may be one step too far for the comic book juggernaut.Still, the iconic publisher seems to be testing the waters in a much larger way than they ever have before with a brand-new lineup of books set to launch an entire new universe. It’s time for a bold new step with DC ushering out the Absolute Universe, and Marvel may have just the answer for that.Should the Midnight Universe prove to be a hit among Marvel fans, it could very well set the tone for a new direction for the publisher. A similar thing happened with Marvel’s Ultimate Universe — which launched way back in 2000. From the Ultimate Universe sprang several now-iconic versions of Marvel characters. Some even became the primary inspirations for the Marvel Cinematic Universe outings. For example, 2012’s The Avengers worked much better as an adaptation of The Ultimates than the original Avengers, though both obviously share the same core fabric. Time will tell if the Midnight Universe has a similar rippling effect on what Marvel does, on the whole, moving forward.
