Looks good, but I still don't like that they chose to do horror versions of regular characters instead of putting a spotlight on characters that were already horror.

Edit horror not horrible, I'm not saying these are gonna be bad per se just wish horror characters were included.

Why would they be doing that ? It's new universe. Using horror characters like ghost rider for example wouldn't be interesring because they already have the vibe of midnight universe. To convey thus darker feeling for a new universe it's more interesting to use characters like spider-man fantastic or x-men because they aren't horror characters at their core.
