In a recent retailer conference, writer Jed MacKay spilled details about the upcoming Marvel Comics event, Blood Hunt. The scope of the saga, big mysteries, and the lasting impact were all discussed including a tease of some of the art.
The event kicks off when various vampire factions, united for the first time in millennia, engineer a global attack using Darkforce energy to block out the sun. Having lurked in the shadows of the Marvel Universe since its very beginning, vampires are now unleashed on humanity as heroes and villains alike fall prey to their overwhelming bloodlust. WHO WILL BITE IT?
Blood Hunt is an epic saga that’s been seeded in Marvel stories for decades. Recent buildup includes MacKay’s current run of Moon Knight, recent issues of Miles Morales: Spider-Man, last year’s Bloodline: The Daughter of Blade, and more! In the grand tradition of events like Civil War and Secret Invasion, Blood Hunt will be rewarding to longtime Marvel readers while also serving as a thrilling entry point into Marvel Comics for newer fans!
The event is the natural rise of all of the vampire threads MacKay and others have been weaving into their tales over the years.
Blood Hunt #1 will also see a “Red Band” edition that is promised to be more grisly and will only be available in print.
Blood Hunt #1 takes a bite out of shelves on May 1.
