Midnight Spider-Man #1 — Alan Quah LeapsLair Shared Exclusive

🕷️ “Power makes monsters, every time. And monsters just do what they do.”

🌙 THE MIDNIGHT UNIVERSE STARTS HERE. Marvel’s brand-new horror line — an alternate timeline where the heroes you grew up with come back wrong — launches on October 7 with three #1s dropping the same day. Here’s the part retailers keep repeating to each other: those three books are the only new Marvel comics released that week. Marvel cleared the whole slate for this. That does not happen.

🦠 THIS IS NOT MAN-SPIDER. Oscorp is chasing immortality, and Peter Parker is the experiment. What comes out the other side isn’t a hero in a suit — it’s a spider fused into his chest, a body that will not stop changing, and a kid in WWII aviator goggles trying to hold on to whatever is left of himself. Then Oscorp starts turning other people into hybrids, and Peter has to embrace the thing they made him into.

💀 THE MORAL GOT FLIPPED. “With great power comes great responsibility” is gone. In the Midnight Universe, the lesson Peter carries from his father Richard is that power makes monsters — and the story is built to prove it.

✍️ THE TEAM. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Infernal Hulk), who has said Man-Spider is the kindergarten version of what this book is doing. Art by SCIETRONC in a full-on Marvel debut — a manga-soaked body-horror style pulling from Cronenberg’s The Fly, John Carpenter, Junji Ito, and the corporate dread of Alien. Rated Parental Advisory. They are not kidding.

🔥 THE COVER. Alan Quah hangs Peter upside down in his own web, goggles down, the spider glowing red where his chest used to be. It’s the whole pitch of the book in one image — and it’s the reason we chased this one.

🔑 WHY IT MATTERS: first issue, first appearance of the Midnight Universe’s Spider-Man, and the ground floor of a line Marvel has already mapped out into 2027.
