The long night is coming, and when it does, every hero in the Marvel Universe will face a brutal onslaught from Earth's vampires in the pages of Blood Hunt!
Today, Marvel Comics has shared new details about a couple of upcoming tie-ins. We'll start with the appropriately titled Blood Hunters, a four-issue anthology series highlighting a variety of characters, including:
- Hawkeye is on the run - but does he have enough trick arrows in his quiver to avoid both the long arm of the law and vampires out for his blood?! See Clint band together with a brave group of civilians in a pulse-pounding story by writer Mark Russell and artist Bob Quinn.
- Man-Wolf and J. Jonah Jameson do a little father-son bonding - while also fighting for their lives against a horde of bloodsuckers! It’s a new chapter of one of the oddest family dynamics in the Marvel Universe by writer Christos Gage and artist Javier Garrón.
- With Cloak missing in action, Dagger strikes out in search of new and surprising allies. Witness the genesis of Marvel’s wildest team yet: the Blood Hunters in the start of a multi-part story by Erica Schultz and Bernard Chang that will run across all four issues! Who will Dagger recruit? You’ll have to wait and see!
"It’s really exciting to write Dagger and see her assemble a team of fantastic fang hunters!" Schultz enthused. "You’re going to love the dynamic between these characters, and see where the drama is!"
Then, in Dracula: Blood Hunt, we'll see the most legendary vampire in history execute a bold plan of his own. The three-issue tie-in series by writer Danny Lore (Bloodline: Daughter of Blade) and artist Vincenzo Carratù (Dead X-Men) will see the lord of vampires team up with none other than the daughter of his greatest nemesis: Bloodline, the daughter of Blade.
Following her hit limited series last year, and her recent appearances in Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Brielle Brooks takes centre stage as her unique family legacy makes her a key player in the upcoming crossover event.
Vampires are stronger than ever before and this burgeoning slayer's fate has always been written in blood. Now, co-creator Danny Lore returns to bring Brielle to her ultimate destiny...at the hands of Dracula.
"One of the most interesting things about Dracula, for me, is that he doesn't run on mortal time, and because of that, his reasoning tends toward shadowy and full of schemes," he teases. "Right now, his goal is to keep Brielle safe - but what does it mean to protect the kid of the number-one thorn in your side? And why?"
