Midnight, Mass. is a comic book series created by writer John Rozum, published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint in 2002. The series follows married occult experts Adam and Julia Kadmon as they deal with supernatural cases around America. In a 2011 interview concerning the relaunch of his Xombi series, Rozum revealed that Adam and Julia were conceived as the lead characters for a potential Xombi spin-off back when the series was still being published by Milestone Comics.[1]

Overview

The series centres on the world famous occult experts and monster hunters Adam and Julia Kadmon, who live in the town of Midnight, Massachusetts. The Kadmon's new assistant, Jenny, has just arrived to work for the couple and soon finds herself plunged into their world of monsters and strange goings on.

Sequel

Midnight, Mass: Here There Be Monsters, a six issue sequel mini-series, was published by Vertigo in 2004. The series picks up where the original series ended but this time features the artwork of Paul Lee, replacing original artist Jesus Saiz.
