Midnighter and Apollo is a six-issue American comic book limited series published by DC Comics. It is written by Steve Orlando and illustrated by Fernando Blanco, with covers by ACO.[1] The series debuted in October 2016 and finished in March 2017. The story takes some time after the end of Midnighter, with Midnighter and Apollo having reunited. Following a battle with demons, Apollo's soul is dragged to Hell, and Midnighter attempts to bring him back.

The series was announced shortly after the cancellation of Midnighter, which came with the end of The New 52 continuity and the DC Rebirth relaunch. With this series, Orlando wanted to explore the romantic relationship between Midnighter and Apollo, as they had only recently gotten back together when Midnighter was cancelled. Orlando believed a comic focusing on the same-sex relationship of two superheroes was necessary. Due to the violent content and profanity within the comic, the series was rated T+ (+16). Reception towards the series has been overwhelmingly positive,[2] being referred to as one of the best comics of 2016.[3] Praise has been especially directed towards Midnighter's characterization, his relationship with Apollo, the storyline, and the artwork. However, Apollo's secondary role in comparison to Midnighter has been somewhat criticized.
