'Blood Hunt,' Marvel Comics' Next Crossover Event, Revealed

[Dreaded Porcupine]

Gang Wars is enough for me. I’ll probably cherry pick this. I hope the Legion of Monsters is in this. The real ones.

Why are the vampires fighting so stupidly in all of the art I've seen so far?

Imagine this: you're immortal. You could live forever if you play your cards right. You've got hypnotic powers, meaning you could send people with bombs strapped to them against your enemies without ever risking your immortal existence. You've got the power to control swarms of predators and vermin, meaning you could literally tidal-wave your enemies with rats in the larger cities, without ever risking your immortal existence. You've got the power to control the weather, meaning you could send thunderbolts after your enemies without ever risking your immortal existence. You can turn to mist, meaning that if your enemies find you, you can float intangibly away and do all the things previously listed.

Do you, A, do those things, or B, charge your enemies like a bunch of fanged zombies?

According to Marvel writers, you pick B, because Marvel writers don't understand the difference between an immortal with a swiss-army-knife of powers and a zombie.

Dammit, there goes Tigra.. or the other Moon Knight. Everyone else is safe…

Being that McKay has been featuring Tigra -- I don't think it was building up to her death, but you never know. If she dies, I doubt it will stick.

Mooks gotta be mooks.

They're probably not elite vampires anyways.

Most vampires don't have all those powers yeah.

Its more of a greater vampire thing.

That is an interesting point you raise, however. Somewhat reminds me of a quote from one of the Vampire: The Masquerade books regarding why vampires keep their existence a secret despite being incredibly powerful compared to humans, namely that even if most vampires can generally kill humans in a one-on-one straight fight, most vampires can't take on a full-on army and hope to survive, much less win. To put it another way, subterfuge and concealment are how vampires survive and thrive amongst humanity, especially since humans in sufficient numbers and with sufficient armaments can manage to kill vampires.

If Hannibal King will be involved, I'm interested.

If Hannibal King will be involved, I'm interested.

Would be cool if they did bring him back.

What is the last death that stuck?
Death is a cheap shock trick that has well outlived its impact on a story. IPs to protect and all that.

Too bad Spitfire couldn't be a headliner as well. She deserves her time as well -- especially since Jacqueline was going to be Union Jack/Jaq initially (but couldn't make the outfit work on a female frame).

This was also how Castlevania handles it since if a human figures out how to fight them effectively, they can wipe large numbers of them out. Most vampire fiction also hint that there are more low level vampires who aren't that powerful compared to higher level vampires on Dracula's level.

How do you know she won't? There's still four minis and six one-shots to be announced.

Who wants to bet somewhere in all those blanked out cover images are book titles Nightstalkers and or Midnight Sons? I would have actually preferred either of those names to the name they chose for Dagger's team of Blood Hunters...talk about welcome to the 90's. However, I fully expect to see at least one if not both of those concepts revived and will be completely shocked if they aren't.
Also, echoing the question...where are Elsa Bloodstone and the Lady Jaqueline Falsworth Crichton also known as Spitfire?

I will say this, I was hoping for this to be somewhat contained and not Marvel (or DCs) recent standard of late with a main mini series multiple spin off mini series, one shots and crossovers, but oh well, it is what it is.
