Marvel Comics is home to a vampire takeover for 2024’s Blood Hunt event, which sees Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more unite to battle a supernatural threat. 

First announced at New York Comic-Con, Blood Hunt is a limited series event that takes the Marvel Universe by storm during the Summer of 2024. 

With the world blanketed in an eternal night, vampires and other creatures of the night come forth to overwhelm Earth. With the world seemingly doomed, Earth’s heroes band together to stand against what seems to be an inevitable death. 

The presence of vampires and other monsters may surprise some fans, but it shouldn’t. Marvel’s always had one toe dipped into the realm of horror comics after their early success in the genre. Even when Marvel shifted to superhero comics, characters like Dracula and Werewolf by Night kept the legacy alive, regularly crossing over with titles like X-Men and Moon Knight. 

Every Marvel’s Blood Hunt tie-in comic, mini-series, & one-shot

Contents

Marvel’s Blood Hunt kicks off with a Free Comic Book Day tie-in. After that, the story will continue in a five-issue limited series, with tie-in issues spanning everything from Amazing Spider-Man to Doctor Strange. 

The core Blood Hunt series will actually have two distinct releases: a normal edition for all ages and a special red band expanded edition with additional gore and violence. This continues Marvel’s current trend of leaning into more violent offerings, like Wolverine’s current Sabretooth War arc.

Blood Hunt Main Series

Blood Hunt will be told primarily through a five-issue limited series, a free prequel comic and a Free Comic Book Day one-shot.

Marvel has teased six Blood Hunt one-shots that will tie into the event. On February 20, Marvel announced four of these books would be X-Men-related, bringing the mutants back into contact with vampires for the first time since 2010’s Curse of the Mutants. All the X-Men books will also be running alongside the X-Men reboot, From the Ashes, though the books appear to still be using Krakoa-era logos.

The final two one-shots will feature stories focused on Werewolf by Night and Hulk.

LAURA’S BLOODIEST RESCUE MISSION YET!
The vampires will stop at nothing in their bid for supremacy, including capturing mutants for hellacious experiments to boost their own power. But not on Laura Kinney’s watch! The Wolverine slices a swath through the vamps, but when she encounters the truth behind their machinations, will an unlikely ally prove to be more than she bargained for?

What comes after Blood Hunt?

While Blood Hunt is still a few months away as of this writing, Marvel is already teasing what’s next after the event.

The major players will certainly have big changes, but we know at least one book will release: a new Werewolf by Night title by Jason Loo (who will write the Werewolf by Night: Blood Hunt one-shot) and Venom artist Sergio Dávila.

Interestingly, the new Werewolf by Night will continue the Red Band/Explicit Content trend, offering readers a more violent and mature series than Marvel traditionally produces.
