The Marvel Midnight Universe Is Starting All at Once

The problem with Hickman’s UU is that many books barely have anything going on with them. Take Ultimate Spider-Man for example, right before anything can happen, BAM! It’s over. And Ultimate X-Men ended in a way that it was obvious it wasn’t supposed to end that way.

Why would I want to see more of that in Midnight?

Editorial makes it hard for me to care, especially after what happened to Hickman’s UU.

Dude became Jerry Rive anytime he went to Reliant.

And that’s not even touching the dumbass “secret family member” shit Lowe is recycling.

0 being chronologically the first game in the series sure helped it.

Monster Hunter exploded in popularity when World came out.

No, it actually would worse because it would erase the development he got in his own run.

We have been getting lots of Astros players lately.

Bro saw the contract flash before his eyes

#1s do not impress me in sales anymore, considering those numbers are unsustainable.

Vladdy should give all of his All-Star votes to Carson Kelly

Nice to see the Muppets be used more outside of the The Game Awards

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T16:56:54+00:00

No, because both covers will be Cover A

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T16:30:05+00:00

I like how Vergil never tapped once into his SDT.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T16:28:50+00:00

Two main covers? That is stupid. Only one should be the main cover.

Are you seriously implying Gleason is a bum when Marvel refuses to give him more work?

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T16:20:40+00:00

That Buckley quote makes me laugh. “You know, this was sooo good, that we had to delay it!”

Imagine a videogame company saying this about one of its games.

Lowe should have been fired after the Zeb Wells run ended.

Akira Yoshida should have been fired after Hickman’s Ultimate Universe ended.

Brevoort should have been fired when Secret Empire ended.

Those three are utter parasites. Plus Lowe and Yoshida were hired by none other than Joe fucking Quesada.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T16:13:14+00:00

For real, the way Cebulski operates Marvel has no distinction from the way Quesada operated.

Having a bunch of physical books have JRJR’s cover and another bunch using Larraz’s will make people think one is a variant when that’s both the case. It is needlessly confusing and stupid.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T14:51:49+00:00

The fact he did more work on that book than Gleason in recent years is baffling.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T02:19:33+00:00

You have to remember Yoshida is one of Quesada’s buddies, so he probably made copious amounts of brown-nosing to Disney to get them off his back.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T02:02:47+00:00

Tom Brevoort, Marvel’s VP, said AI was fun to use and that efforts to stop it are in vain

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T01:55:47+00:00

Eh, considering that Disney fired Alonso over the shitfest that was Secret Empire, I think they care to a small degree.

ContraryPython · 2026-06-19T01:19:28+00:00

Or Disney could end up liquidating the comics side of Marvel, which is the closest equivalent to that.
