Blood Hunt #1 starts off Marvel's 2024 summer event with a horror-fueled bang.
You know something that has always bugged me about Marvel Comics ? That vampires not only exist, but that they're not much of an immediate threat. Think about it. Outside of Blade , Moon Knight and the occasional horror-adjacent superhero like Doctor Strange, vampires are generally considered a minor inconvenience in Marvel's scope.
That's something writer Jed MacKay and the creative team behind Marvel's newest event,"Blood Hunt," seem to be keenly aware of. In Blood Hunt #1 a vampire cult manages to black out the sun, attack major cities with vampiric hordes and wipe out half of the current Avengers team with a kill squad comprised of six different shades of gory horror.
I get the feeling Pepe Larraz's artwork will be a sticking point with the five issues of Blood Hunt. On the one hand, the art does outstanding work with character designs, particularly with the six members of The Bloodcoven. But the artwork also has a certain inky murkiness, making action scenes read like static with recognizable characters wandering through rather than teeth-gritting, blood-soaked brawls.
Finally, there's a big twist at the end, though there's no sense in spoiling it here. Even though it's telegraphed fairly early on, the big reveal still hits its mark and is a bold choice for one of Marvel's most recognizable characters. After only one issue, it's hard to say where Blood Hunt will land within the pantheon of superhero event comics. DC took its shot at"superheroes versus vampires" just a couple of years ago to mixed results and Marvel events have been hit or miss in recent years. But it's been quite a while since I've seen one start on such a high note and it'll have me hooked reading through the summer.
