Rune

Marvel’s Rune (1995–1996) is an eight-issue miniseries that introduced a brooding, immortal antihero to the publisher’s Ultraverse line. Written primarily by Len Kaminski and Paul O’Connor, with art by Patrick Rolo, Kyle Hotz, and Tony Akins, the story follows a centuries-old being who awakens in the modern world to confront ancient horrors and his own dark legacy. A key title in Marvel’s short-lived Ultraverse imprint, Rune stands out for its gothic horror tone and atmospheric, stylized artwork, offering a darker counterpoint to the era’s superhero fare.
