Madness

Fresh from the chaotic corners of Marvel's Modern Age, Madness burst onto the scene in 2023's Cult of Carnage: Misery #2, brought to life by writer Sabir Pirzada and artist Francesco Mortarino. This is a character born into one of Marvel's darkest, most visceral corners — a world where figures like Spider-Man, Liz Allan, and the fearsome Misery share the page — which tells you immediately that Madness isn't here for a quiet debut. With only a handful of appearances so far, there's a raw, untapped energy to this character that makes early issues worth holding onto, and Cult of Carnage: Misery is exactly the kind of unhinged, high-stakes series where a name like Madness feels right at home.
