The name isnвЂ™t the only change for MarvelвЂ™s Midnight Suns from a comic book perspective. Marvel being the вЂњHouse of IdeasвЂќ вЂ“ there are like a million awesome stories, right? Midnight Sons is as cool as any other story and I want to say вЂwell let me show you how cool these Marvel characters are and how cool this story is.вЂ™вЂќ It still strikes me that this is a day-to-day job and youвЂ™re working, but every once in a while, youвЂ™ll see a piece of concept art, or youвЂ™ll be playing the game, and youвЂ™ll be like, I cannot believe I am in this position where I get to re-tell the Midnight Sons story for a new audience and it was cool because everyone at Marvel was excited too and they knew that event too. вЂњI still have my Midnight Sons and my Spirits of Vengeance comics from when I was a kid,вЂќ adds Solomon. The game has changed names slightly вЂ“ FiraxisвЂ™ effort is called MarvelвЂ™s Midnight Suns and the team within it are the Midnight Suns, so that it stands on its own while still paying homage to the original superteam, but at the core, this is a love letter from Solomon and narrative director Chad Rocco to everything Midnight Sons, and itвЂ™s a dream come true. MarvelвЂ™s Midnight Suns (Image: 2K Games, В©Marvel 2021) It didnвЂ™t take very long for us to realise that we wanted to do вЂ“ we would love to do вЂ“ a game that retold the Midnight Sons story.вЂќ There wasnвЂ™t really any doubt on our side. The people it did stick with, it really stuck with. We were two guys who just loved this comic, and Midnight Sons is this really cool event that for whatever reason, for a lot of reasons, but it stuck with a lot of people. It was funny because the first time I talked to Chad Rocco we were like вЂњoh my gosh, what toys do you pull out the Marvel toy chest?вЂќ and we both started talking about Ghost Rider and the Midnight Sons. вЂњ Midnight Sons is one of my very favourite comic book events in Marvel history. Quite frankly, at the time Lilith was new and she had these demonic children, and it really stuck with me. SheвЂ™s such a cool villain, and so it had this great cast of characters that pulled all these supernatural heroes from across the Marvel Universe. It featured a villain called Lilith, mother of demons. This event was, in my opinion, never exceeded, called Rise of the Midnight Sons. There was an awesome Ghost Rider run in the early 90s that brought in this awesome supernatural event. One of mine and narrative director Chad RoccoвЂ™s shared passions is that we love Ghost Rider. вЂњI grew up reading Marvel comics, especially late 80s, early 90s.вЂќ says Solomon. Jake Solomon, the creative director on MarvelвЂ™s Midnight Suns and the brain behind so much of FiraxisвЂ™ rebooted XCOM series, definitely has a passion for the spooky superteam.
