    Default What about the Supernatural?

    Does anyone really miss the Supernatural side of Marvel? I mean, Constantine is getting a TV show, Guilermo will (someday) make JL: Dark, The Strain is a hit, all clues that horror is in. It's the ideal time for Marvel to start putting out some dark books but we currently have none. Moon Knight was the closest thing and I guess ANGR could be considered a SPN book, but it mostly reads like a normal super hero book.

    I can't be the only one who wants a Doc Strange and Midnight Sons/Dark Avengers title, now am I? T-Bolts is ending so why not create a new DA book with Johhny, Strange, MK, Morbius, Man-Thing and all these great characters that have been forgotten? The possibilities are endless. You can have them tackle cults, hell lords, worshipers and strange creatures. This really is a missed opportunity.

    The Uncanny Avengers Annual had a great "Avengers of the Supernatural" line up. It'd be cool if they leveraged that into a more regular thing.

    I read that and it was pretty great. I don't really care for Manphibian though so my preferred line-up would be something like this:

    1)Moon Knight
    2)Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider
    3)Magik
    4)Doctor Strange
    5)Scarlet Witch or Elsa Bloodstone
    6)Blade
    7)Morbius
    8)Spider-Man Noir (I hope he makes it out of Spider-Verse and finds his way to 616)
    +
    Man-Thing and the Werewolf for support.

    I think the series of the character Scarlet Witch is ending
    I am glad though that the character Elsa Bloodstone has a prominent role in Monsters Unleashed and that the character Man-Thing gets to star in his own series this year.

    I would really like to see a Man-Thing ongoing written by Jason Aaron.

    Isn't the assigned writer of the March 2017 Man-Thing series any good

    Unfortunately the line up was the only thing great about that Annual; Remender really dropped the ball with it.

    It's a shame because I was totally psyched at the prospect of a new series launching from it, but alas...

    it is a niche of a niche genre.

    I think the demand may be too small.

    completely different that is a self contained world. It is not constrained by any of the limits that books in the MU are.

    Walking Dead is more horror than supernatural. Going by the TV show, it's not supernatural at all, pure science. Going by the comic, it doesn't really care much one way or the other, that's not the point.

    There was that Morbius series and I think Legion of Monsters with Bloodstone, and they did release that previously shelved Man Thing story a while back. But yeah, horror comics are slowly finding their place at indie companies, it'd be nice to see Marvel make a ongoing commitment.
