Marvel Unveils ‘Crypt of the Shadows’ Series
It may perhaps be Marvel’s most underrated and underutilized corner of the universe, but its supernatural character will now be the centerpiece of its very own title, as Marvel unveils its Crypt of the Shadows series.
Of all of the massive publications that have existed over the years of the comic book industry, there may be none that can compete with the massive pantheon of characters that Marvel possesses.
A company with so many vibrant, interesting, and engaging heroes and villains, there have been so many stories and runs that explore them in various ways, and through various perspectives.
So many collectives of heroes that collect together in teams like The Avengers or the X-Men, that fight against their very own collectives of villains; and continue the cycle of Marvel’s massive and evergrowing roster.
But of all of the characters that Marvel has explored throughout the confines of their pages, perhaps the most underrated of them are their various supernatural heroes and villains.
There are street-level heroes like Spider-man, Daredevil, and the Defenders, and there are cosmic-level heroes like the Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel; where the supernatural realm contains some of their most interesting and overlooked heroes that may not be seen in the same light.
It is those characters that are set to be the focal point, as Marvel has unveiled the brand new Crypt of the Shadows series.
