Morbius: The Living Vampire #1 - Midnight Son


Morbius....the hunted, haunted fugitive.

 Morbius...the dead souled scientist.

 Morbius...the Living Vampire.

 Somewhere inside Doctor Michael Morbius is a good man who just needs a second chance. After escaping from The Raft in Amazing Spider-Man 699.1, Morbius is scraping desperately through each day trying to carve out a life in a world that has turned its back on him. However his redemption...may be worse than his sin.

 NOW Morbius returns in this long-awaited ongoing series, where the line between hero and villain becomes brutally and bloodily blurred.
