Marvel Comics has revealed some details of Blood Hunt, a vampire-infested storyline that will launch in May 2024 and will feature vampires emerging from the gloom to attack multiple Marvel characters, including the Avengers, Blade, Bloodline, Spider-Man, Hunter’s Moon, Tigra, Doctor Strange, and Clea. The event will be anchored by an eponymous five-issue miniseries Blood Hunt, by writer Jed Mackay, artist Pepe Larraz, and colorist Marte Gracia, and will be accompanied by tie-in issues and spinoff miniseries. The first issue of Blood Hunt will be released on May 1, 2024, with a cover by Larraz.
“I think vampires are a very fun part of the Marvel Universe,” MacKay said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “You can enjoy them on a surface level as adding a little spookiness to a book, or you can get as deep as you like into the long-running Marvel history of vampires, which is as elaborate as any other part of it (and the fact that Dracula is there is a source of endless delight)! Blood Hunt is just the latest chapter in the long-running vampire mythos of Marvel vampires—and they’re stepping out of the darkness in a big way.”
“Much like Civil War and Secret Invasion, Blood Hunt is a story that has been naturally building across Marvel’s comics over the last few years (and some even older stories), and it all comes to a head this May as Jed connects all the dots,” added Marvel Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski. “As the series unfolds, readers will be able to uncover clues and go back and put the pieces together to see just how high the stakes are for our beloved characters. Pun intended.”
Mackay is the writer of The Avengers and Moon Knight (see “Marvel Announces Follow-Ups to Death of Moon Knight”).
