DC Comics Vs Marvel Midnight On October 7th With Vampires And Zombies

DC Comics run a Marvel Midnight Universe spoiler on October 7th with DC Vs Vampires, DCeased Zombies and more for a dollar

On the 7th of October, 2026, Marvel Comics is launching the Marvel Midnight Universe, with Midnight Spider-Man #1, Midnight X-Men #1 and Midnight Fantastic Four #1, and nothing else that day. Well, nature abhors a vacuum, and DC Comics is taking advantage of that gap. With new DC Start Here issues, comics at a dollar each, and, coincidentally, those reworking classic DC characters as DC Zombies of DCeased, the vampires of DC Vs Vampires, the magical fantasy of Dark Knights Of Steel, and dark versions of DC characters in Death Metal. Someone at DC Comics must be feeling very, very smug right now… here's a Midnight tag for everything else I wrote about Midnight on Bleeding Cool today.
