The spooky season is here and Marvel has plans to celebrate with its upcoming entry in CRYPT OF SHADOWS #1, a one-shot told in the spirit of Halloween. With stories written by Steve Orlando, Benjamin Percy, Jason Loo, and Chris Condon atop artwork created by Claire Roe, Raffaele Ienco, Carlos Magno, and Djibril Morissette, the comic makes for a nifty pickup if you’re into Marvel and the spirit of Halloween.
This year’s CRYPT OF SHADOWS #1 will feature an Agatha Harkness story from the currently beloved Scarlet Witch writer Steve Orlando with art by Claire Roe.
There’ll also be a sea-faring tale about the swamp monster Man-Thing in a battle against Namor, and a Kraven the Hunter tracks Jack Russell (Werewolf By Night) story by Jason Loo and Carlos Magno.
Most importantly, the issue will be the debut of Joshua Jovan from the Werewolf by Night TV series. If you don’t remember Jovan was an axe-wielding monster hunter, whom in this story ends up accidentally falling through the Last Door finding a new ‘monster’ to encounter: the Scarlet Witch.
His story will be told by writer Chris Condon and artist Djibril Morissette.
