Unforgiven: Marvel Series Pits Spider-Man vs. Vampires
Spider-Man is no stranger to supernatural threats. The wall-crawler recently faced the Demon Bear and the return of the life force-feeding Morlun, but an even deadlier breed of vampire sinks its teeth into the Marvel Universe in Spider-Man: Unforgiven #1. Kicking off an event storyline that will continue in X-Men: Unforgiven #1 and Captain America: Unforgiven #1, the one-shot from writer Tim Seely (Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse) and artist Sid Kotian (Gambit) features the return of the blood-sucker group the Forgiven: Raizo Kodo, Nighteyes, Visigoth, Quickshot, and Ghost Blade. Below, see the first preview pages and official solicitation before Marvel's Spider-Man: Unforgiven hits stands March 1st.
Marvel describes Unforgiven: "Who can resist the call of the blood? A group of vigilante vampires have decided to fight crime — while at the same time, wage a desperate war within themselves to reject their own bloodthirsty natures! The Forgiven's new saga will kick off in Spider-Man: Unforgiven #1, where the team will confront a new foe with a desire to transform vampires into their most powerful and violent selves ... This epic struggle for the souls of the soulless will make readers rethink the place these creatures of the night have in the Marvel Universe!"
"I love Marvel super heroes, no doubt, but I've got a special obsession with Marvel's horror heroes," Seeley said in a statement. "Unforgiven gives that creepy, sexy, weird underbelly a chance to shine as a horrific conspiracy unites a crew of vampires with Spider-Man, the X-Men and Captain America, and shows us the stark differences (and surprisingly similarities) of those who are gifted with the ability to fight evil, and those who have to carry evil's curse. By the end of this epic event, we'll have toured a lot of dark corners of the Marvel Universe, and reminded readers that monsters are at its shrunken black heart!"
The Unforgiven event continues in the one-shots X-Men: Unforgiven #1 (March 29th) and Captain America: Unforgiven #1 (April 19th).
