The Darkhold Alpha

Marvel’s 2021 one-shot The Darkhold Alpha kicks off a dark, reality-warping event by writer Steve Orlando and artist Cian Tormey. It resurrects the legendary, corrupting spellbook to twist familiar heroes into monstrous new forms, setting the stage for a horror-tinged saga across the Marvel Universe. As a concise but pivotal entry point, this issue matters for its bold reimagining of classic characters through a supernatural lens.
