It was also confirmed that the recipients of the postcards were [[Media:PostcardSending.png\|randomly selected]] from people who had ordered merchandise from the [[List of The Midnight merchandise\|US online store]]. [[Tyler Lyle]] further elaborated on the graphic novel's release in a post on Threads, stating that the band "wanted to tell a big story" that was longer and more in depth than what could be expressed in a typical three-minute song.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Lyle \|first=Tyler \|date=January 30, 2024 \|title=(1) @tylerlyle • Threads has eaten my post, so let’s try the lazy way • Threads \|url=https://www.threads.net/@tylerlyle/post/C2vKNTPv9FQ \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://archive.ph/dcfHK \|archive-date=January 30, 2024 \|access-date=January 30, 2024 \|website=Threads}}</ref>		On the day of the announcement, The Midnight's manager Justin Little answered fan questions about the graphic novel on Discord, [[Media:StartofGraphicNovel.png\|revealing]] that planning for the project began in the fall of 2020.

	In the official press release for the graphic novel, Lyle stated:<ref name=":1" /><blockquote>''The creative MO of The Midnight has always been to "combine not confine". We noticed early on that creative people in other fields were taking our music and adding video, VR worlds, digital art, photography and the world of The Midnight kept expanding. We were thrilled to be able to work with Zack and this amazing creative team to help to add even more flesh on our creative skeleton. What is nostalgia? Does it indicate an escape from "normal life" or does it provide the wisdom to help us escape INTO it. The graphic novel is a medium that allows a much bigger and more complex story to be told and we couldn't be more excited to watch that story slowly become real.''</blockquote>[[Tim McEwan]] also said:<blockquote>''Visuals have always been a huge aspect of the world of The Midnight. From the very beginning, our fanbase joined in by creating videos and art that expanded on our music and visual aesthetic. It was natural to take it one step further and create a graphic novel. We've been lucky enough to have an incredible team of artists and creatives, headed by the talented Zack Kaplan, who skillfully helmed this ship from the very start. Partnering up with Dark Horse is a match made in heaven and we feel so blessed to see this creation come to life. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this a reality but thank you first and foremost to our amazing fans, without whom none of this would have been possible.''</blockquote>Further teaser images from ''The Midnight: Shadows'' were shared on the band's social media accounts on February 23, 2024, and March 1, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web \|date=February 23, 2024 \|title=ｔｈｅ　ｍｉｄｎｉｇｈｔ on X: "ICYMI, our original graphic novel “The Midnight: Shadows” is available to pre-order now.

We noticed early on that creative people in other fields were taking our music and adding video, VR worlds, digital art, photography and the world of The Midnight kept expanding. We were thrilled to be able to work with Zack and this amazing creative team to help to add even more flesh on our creative skeleton. What is nostalgia? Does it indicate an escape from "normal life" or does it provide the wisdom to help us escape INTO it. The graphic novel is a medium that allows a much bigger and more complex story to be told and we couldn't be more excited to watch that story slowly become real.''</blockquote>[[Tim McEwan]] also said:<blockquote>''Visuals have always been a huge aspect of the world of The Midnight. From the very beginning, our fanbase joined in by creating videos and art that expanded on our music and visual aesthetic. It was natural to take it one step further and create a graphic novel. We've been lucky enough to have an incredible team of artists and creatives, headed by the talented Zack Kaplan, who skillfully helmed this ship from the very start. Partnering up with Dark Horse is a match made in heaven and we feel so blessed to see this creation come to life. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this a reality but thank you first and foremost to our amazing fans, without whom none of this would have been possible.''</blockquote>Further teaser images from ''The Midnight: Shadows'' were shared on the band's social media accounts on February 23, 2024, and March 1, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web \|date=February 23, 2024 \|title=ｔｈｅ　ｍｉｄｎｉｇｈｔ on X: "ICYMI, our original graphic novel “The Midnight: Shadows” is available to pre-order now.
