The Midnight Sons is fictional team of supernatural superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Including Hellstorm, Jennifer Kale, Morbius, Werewolf by Night, and Ghost Riders Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze, the team first appeared in Ghost Rider (vol. 2) #28 (August 1992). From December 1993–August 1994, Marvel branded all stories involving the group with a distinct family imprint and cover treatment.
The Midnight Sons appeared in several 1990s multi-issue crossovers of Marvel's supernatural titles. The first, "Rise of the Midnight Sons," launched several books in the Midnight Sons line, including Morbius (Sept. 1992), Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins (Oct. 1992), and Nightstalkers (Nov. 1992).
The group appeared in the nine-issue anthology comic book Midnight Sons Unlimited, which ran from April 1993 to May 1995.
Their final crossover was the seventeen-part "Siege of Darkness" which ran from December 1993 to January 1994. It was featured in two consecutive issues of each Midnight Sons title as well as four issues of Marvel Comics Presents (#143-146), and two issues of Doctor Strange, a title that was newly included in the line. It was advertised with an eight-page insert in several comics in October, November, and December 1993. According to the text of the advertisement, written by Jeffrey Lee Simmons,
