Spellbinders: Signs and Wonders

In 2012, Marvel launched Spellbinders: Signs and Wonders, a single-issue series that teams writer Mike Carey with artist Mike Perkins for a taut, self-contained supernatural thriller. The story explores the quiet terror of everyday life touched by the arcane, as ordinary people confront unsettling signs that hint at a larger, hidden conflict. Though brief, this issue stands as a focused showcase of Carey and Perkins’ ability to blend character-driven drama with eerie, low-key horror—a sharp, moody entry in Marvel’s more grounded, mystical storytelling.
