They are together on the Spirits of Vengeance team with Johnny Blaze and Satanna.

It's also hinted that Hellstrom will be recruited to that new midnight sons team from damnation. although I don't know if they'll continue that with how the sales were.

If they did a Vengeance series, I'd read it:

The look resembles to me to be that of the Cosmic Ghost Rider character

[Kaled]

Even though Steve Gerber is no longer with us I would like to see Whilce Portacio return to illustrate another Legion of Night mini-series.

[Mantis Dad]

I miss Werewolf by night, Man-Thing, Morbius, the Mummy, and all the original 70's supernatural comics (except Dracula, never liked that fellow).

I haven't read it, but have been interested. I remember that Marvel hired Sexton to set the groundwork for Marvel magick going forward, but nothing ever really came of it.
It's a shame he couldn't/didn't use Dr. Strange, as I think his presence would've given Arcana a bit more of a higher profile.

My preferred Marvel magic system is the one that was prominent in the '80s and given an in-depth explanation in both the Marvel Universe Handbooks and the TSR RPG game.
Sometimes, it boggles my mind that writers choose to ditch something or ignore it when it's something that saves you work in establishing and/or explaining things all over again.
