From Bleeding Cool: >Midnight is intended to be Marvel's equivalent of both DC Comics' Vertigo line and their Absolute line all in one. Not creator-owned obviously, and using Marvel Comics characters of course, but focusing on the horror side of the equation. We're talking Blade, Darkhold, Ghost Rider, Dracula, Werewolf By Night, Morbius, Spirits Of Vengeance and the like, and the name is a reference to the old Midnight Sons branding for that side of Marvel Comics. Except this will be in its own universe, with big names and radical reworkings of these characters and concepts, as well as various Marvel concepts that have not been revived since their original publications.

From the Comic Beat: >The Beat can confirm reports the new publishing effort is being spearheaded by Jonathan Hickman and Philip Kennedy Johnson, though it’s not clear if Midnight has anything to do with the latter’s current Infernal Hulk series or not. Since the initial announcement e-mail, Benjamin Percy has also teased his involvement, sharing the same graphic to his social media platforms. Percy’s tease comes just hours after the writer announced he’d inked a two-year extension to write exclusively under the Marvel umbrella.

Wish Bryan Hill was brought into the fold, but this is exciting. We actually haven't seen much of a radical take on Blade...ever? Most other media versions are some interpretation of Snipes. The Ultimate Version is the movie version except Blade is trained by Stick. Bryan Hill and Jason Aaron expanded the types of stories Blade could be a meaningful part of.

Part of me is hoping for a reimagined origin story (with an authentically interesting father for him) and maybe an expansion on the vampire lore. I'm really hoping we don't just get another altered movie version.
