Here, Peter is defined by a warning from Richard Parker: \u201cPower makes monsters, every time<\/strong>.\u201d That lesson comes out of a traumatic childhood memory, after Peter\u2019s pet cat dies. So the book isn\u2019t really asking how he\u2019ll use power. It\u2019s asking whether he can hold on to his humanity at all. Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson strips away Peter\u2019s usual wisecracks, and artist ScieTronc leans hard into the horror with art shaped by manga and Japanese horror.<\/p>\n\n

In Midnight Spider-Man<\/em>, Peter takes a job at Oscorp hoping to change the company from the inside, all while he and Uncle Ben are getting squeezed by money problems<\/strong>. Then Oscorp\u2019s illegal experiments in eternal life put him in the path of a genetically altered, gamma-irradiated spider pumped full of mutant growth hormone. The bite sets off a grotesque transformation, one tied directly to Uncle Ben\u2019s death. If you\u2019re after a darker Spider-Man story that flips Marvel\u2019s classic power-and-responsibility idea on its head, this one\u2019s worth picking up.<\/p>\n\n

Midnight Spider-Man<\/em> came out on October 7, 2026<\/strong>, and it\u2019s available now from Marvel Comics alongside Midnight X-Men<\/em> and Midnight Fantastic Four<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
