Nightstalkers: Marvel's Original Midnight Monster Hunters | Marvel Echoes Podcast Ep. 30
Description
In Episode 30 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we're stalking the shadows of the 1990s to uncover the story of Marvel's original supernatural strike force: The Nightstalkers. Long before the Avengers worried about vampires, this trio of cursed hunters—Blade, Hannibal King, and Frank Drake—were brought together by Doctor Strange for a war that only they could fight.
From their individual origins in the classic Tomb of Dracula comics to their explosive formation in the "Rise of the Midnight Sons" crossover, we explore how three broken men became a team. We'll dive deep into the "Midnight Massacre" that turned Blade into their greatest enemy and the tragic final arc that cemented their legacy in sacrifice. This is the story of Marvel’s Monster Squad, and how their brief, violent run launched an entire dark corner of the Marvel Universe—a legacy so strong, a new team has taken up the name today.
