Marvel has a history of bringing horror to its roster of heroes just in time for the spooky season, and this October will be no different. The Fantastic Four are next in line for some true terrors, promising a memorable Halloween time for comic fans everywhere. As reported by Bleeding Cool, comic fans can expect Marvel’s First Family to star in their own story set in the upcoming horror-centric Midnight Universe. Many have already begun comparing the concept of Marvel’s Midnight Universe to DC’s Absolute Universe in that it will place well-established heroes in darker, grittier situations than readers have been conditioned to expect. Hopefully, Reed Richards and company can keep those well-known wits about them as they navigate these treacherous new waters — but only time will tell.Most Marvel readers recognize The Fantastic Four’s history in horror from the Marvel Zombies stories. In those comics, Marvel capitalized on the boom of the zombie genre by having their most recognizable heroes face off with a reality where even they’re susceptible to a zombie outbreak. However, Marvel’s new Midnight Universe seems to be steeped far more in classic horror as opposed to the trending niche — featuring Lovecraftian monsters and dealing with the fear of the unknown. More than most other heroes Marvel has at their disposal, The Fantastic Four are perfect fits to deal with threats of this kind — especially with a writer who really gets how to make a reader’s skin crawl.
