Morbius unleashes the raging beast within in this exclusive preview
Morbius, the living vampire, is getting his own solo superhero movie starring Jared Leto next year, so naturally Marvel has given the character a new ongoing series to capitalize on a potential boost in popularity. Written by Vita Ayala with art by Marcelo Ferreira, inkers Roberto Poggi and Scott Hanna, colorist Dono Sánchez-Almara, and letterer Clayton Cowles, Morbius leans into the anti-hero’s horror roots, telling a story of scientific hubris that makes the vampire even more monstrous. In an industry dominated by straight white men, it’s refreshing to see a black, queer, nonbinary writer offering their take on a superhero character, and Ayala’s skill with writing morally conflicted figures (see: Valiant’s Livewire) enriches Michael Morbius’ character and intensifies the tragedy of the series.
