As the sky darkens across the globe and vampires reign in Marvel Comics' upcoming Blood Hunt event series, what hidden plot will put Logan directly in their crosshairs? We'll find out this June in Wolverine: Blood Hunt, an upcoming tie-in series from hit writer Tom Waltz and celebrated Wolverine artist Juan José Ryp.
The four-issue saga will mark the exciting Marvel Comics debut of Waltz, an artist who has been making big waves in the industry with his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.
To celebrate his first venture into the Marvel Universe, Waltz's The Last Ronin collaborator and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman has illustrated an action-packed cover for Wolverine: Blood Hunt #1. The legendary artist’s awesome depiction of Wolverine proves that the vampire hordes are no match for claws, a healing factor, and a berserker’s rage.
The piece also spotlights Louise of the Nightguard, Wolverine’s mysterious new ally who’s been fighting at his side in a personal war against the vampire nation, a long-simmering subplot in Benjamin Percy’s Wolverine run that will now come to a head.
"I've spent much of my career writing about iconic mutants, so having my Marvel debut be a chance to put 'the best there is' through a vampiric bloodstorm in Wolverine: Blood Hunt is an absolute thrill of a lifetime," Waltz shared. "It’s made even better by getting to do it alongside the amazingly talented Juan José Ryp, top-notch colorist GURU-eFX, and stellar editors Mark Basso and Drew Baumgartner."
"Blood, bullets, claws, and fangs - nothing gets held back in our four-issue gauntlet of gore."
Eastman adds, "I couldn't be more proud and thrilled to join my ‘Last Ronin Bro’ Tom Waltz on his first Wolverine story! I was lucky enough to be invited to add a cover to the issue, and do my small part for the incredible team that brought this issue to life. The story rocks, the art rocks - can't wait for you all to sink your teeth into this one!"
