Midnight, Mass. is a limited series comic book created by writer John Rozum, published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint from 2002 to 2003. 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]
