Morbius The Vampire is Taking On Marvel’s Grossest Army – Screen Rant

In his relentless hunt to curevampire curse, the research of Michael Morbius has fallen into the hands of a madman, with twisted designs on transforming the world. With allies Spider-Man and a former friend that wants him dead, the philosopher-with-fangs fights for his very life in the latest Morbius the Living Vampire.

Since his youth in Greece, Dr. Michael Morbius has suffered from a rare blood disorder, and his experiments into antidote transformed him into a bloodthirsty vampire. Yet, while the act of drawing blood from his prey allows him to revert to his human form, the scientist is wracked with chronic guilt and abhorrence over his craven, animalistic behavior. His metamorphosis has also reaped a greater tragedy --the death of his childhood friend Emil, and the lasting animosity between his fellow researchers sister Elizabeth... and the devil that slew her brother.

Elizabeths ambitious schemes of vengeance go astray when her hired-hand, the mercenary Melter absconds with Morbius experimental serum and injects it into unwilling sacrifices in the villains secret lair. Spawned from the Morbius' own serum, Melters human test subjects are turned into hideous creatures: a giant cricket, a deformed pigeon-man, a bat-like fiend, and a were-rat of impossible proportions. Like an animal cornered, Melter lashes out when confronted by Morbius and injects himself with his modified serum. Transformed into a canine-humanoid hybrid, Melter masters the mutated mob and it falls to the tortured doctor to cure the malformed menace in Morbius the Living Vampire.

Writer Vita Ayala leads an exceptional creative team on Marvels Morbius the Living Vampire with Marcelo Ferreira, Francesco Mobili, Roberto Poggi, JP Mayer, Scott Hanna, and Dono Sanchez-Almara. The artwork has an elegant density, designed to create a dark, cinematic style with heavy shadowing accentuating the bleached-white highlights. Vita Ayalas Morbius is a gothic tale of tragedy, cruelty, and the supernatural. Yet, it is more psychological than most tales of blood-thirsty vampires and their thralls. Michael Morbius is torn between the avaricious vampire-within and humanity that he craves to rejoin, lamenting, I only pray that my need for a solution will not overcome my reason. I only wish to be a man.

The existential and melancholic vampire, doomed by a ghastly blight of his blood, continues his search for a cure in Vita Ayalas latest Morbius the Living Vampire, from Marvel Comics.Morbius the Living Vampire is availablenow for digital download at Marvel and Comixology, and a curbside-comic shop pick-up near you!
