The Press Release:
Each year at New York Comic Con, the Marvel: Next Big Thing Panel delivers the most industry-shaking announcements of the weekend. Today was no exception with the reveal of Marvel’s next major crossover event—BLOOD HUNT!
Vampires have always walked amongst the shadows of the Marvel Universe, but in Spring 2024, the long night arrives and these bloodsucking terrors will endure the spotlight like never before. The main event series will be brought to life by an A-team of Marvel talent: current Avengers scribe Jed MacKay and acclaimed X-Men artists Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia. In classic Marvel fashion, BLOOD HUNT will also spill out into a host of tie-in issues in Marvel’s hottest current series and see the launch of all-new limited series, one-shots, and redefining status quos.
Brimming with unsurmountable stakes, this startling saga will drag the world into darkness as your favorite heroes struggle to ward off the vampire race’s cursed crusade of terror! Fans will have to wait with bated breath for more story details and information. In the meantime, sink your teeth into a special BLOOD HUNT trailer and a viciously visceral promotional image by Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho!
“We have vampires in our books all the time, there’s some bad blood there,” MacKay said. “What happens if the shoe was on the other foot? We’ve got the Avengers, Moon Knight’s Midnight Mission, Doctor Strange, Miles Morales, and of course, Blade, and there’s going to be more vampires you can shake a stick at.”
Stay tuned for a feast of exciting BLOOD HUNT announcements in the months ahead! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: While this one sure does sound interesting, and makes me think back to company-wide crossovers of the past like “The Evolutionary War”, “The Clone Sage” and even “Civil War”; I’m not collecting all that heavily to properly dive into such a massive undertaking. Sure its going to be cool to have vampires back to terrorzing the Marvel Comics heroes a lot more than before, I might only be picking up the special-edition one-shots that they teased about. Sadly, while in attendance at the New York Comic Con over these last couple of days I didn’t see this panel and only learned about the crossover when I checked my website email. I’ve been having a blast at the convention nonetheless and my in-depth day to day coverage will begin running tomorrow so please do stay tuned for that. I’ll wrap up now and say thanks for reading. If you’ve something to add to the mix about this crossover announcement please do chime in down below in the comments because I’d love to hear what you think about it. See you next time and remember the NYCC Posts are Coming 🙂
