BLOOD HUNT, the bloodiest event in Marvel Comics history, kicks off in May. Each issue of the main series, written by Jed MacKay and drawn by Pepe Larraz, will also be available as expanded and unexpurgated special RED BAND EDITIONS. Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those weak of heart from experiencing its intensity, the RED BAND EDITIONS will contain extra pages of vampiric violence and more graphic art too explicit for the regular edition. In addition, the RED BAND EDITIONS will have its’ own special line of variant covers. Evoking the imagery of classic horror comics, the new BLOODY HOMAGE VARIANT COVERS give readers a terrifying hint of the savagery awaits readers in Marvel’s first-ever venture into RED BAND storytelling.
The upcoming crossover event will envelop the entire Marvel Universe in darkness as your favorite heroes scramble desperately to reverse Earth’s tragic fate and save as many as they can from the creatures of the night and their unrelenting blood lust! In addition to an epic main series by writer Jed MacKay and artist Pepe Larraz, key chapters and thrilling developments will take place from May through July in an eclectic assortment of limited series, one-shots, and series tie-in issues.
Today, fans can get a sneak peek at what’s to come in BLOOD HUNT’s second month with the reveal of the second issue of all eight limited series!
