The Darkhold is a mystic tome that holds nearly all the secrets of black magic, a book so powerful it can drive its possessor insane. Also it was in WandaVision.
Nowadays, it’s apparently also a child? As revealed in those “Contest of Chaos” annuals where Agatha Harkness made superheroes fight?
(Imagine if “Shattershot” came out during a time when there was this much vertical integration among comics properties.)
Anyway, the Darkhold’s a kid now, it may hold the key to stopping all the Draculas, and the kids from Marvel’s Hogwarts may have to kill it to uncover that secret. Which totally wouldn’t traumatize them.
