Blood Hunters #1 delivers an ok event tie-in

Posted on by
Blood Hunters #1

Blood Hunt kicked off last week with a fantastic debut that was full of action, dread, suspense and surprises. It’s a throwback event in some ways with a massive amount of tie-ins and spin-off miniseries. Blood Hunters #1 begins one of those with an anthology featuring three stories set during the vampire attack. The result? A whole lotta pass.

Featuring three stories, Blood Hunters #1 opens with Hawkeye being caught by police for his recent actions but then that being interrupted by the vampire attack. Written by Mark Russell with art by Bob Quinn, and color by Matt Milla, it has Hawkeye rallying a group to stop the initial attack wave. It also just… ends. What could have been a fantastic multi-chapter story about Hawkeye being a leader and rallying everyday citizens to stop the vampire attack ends in a way that makes it all feel rather pointless. The threat doesn’t feel ongoing and sustained like the event should make you feel.

Christos Gage, Javier Garron, and Morry Hollowell continue the humor as J. Jonah Jameson and his son take on some vampires in a story that not only delivers a more comedic tone but also a choppy narrative. It too doesn’t add much to the overall story and while it’s nice to see what individuals are doing, the story teases how Jameson could help but doesn’t follow up.

The final story by Erica Schultz, Bernard Chang, and Marcelo Maiolo is more of what I expected. Dagger is confronted with vampires and must deal with them and how her partner is being used as part of this. It teases more to come and that is what I thought the series would feature more of, the formation of a team in a series of short stories.

It’s rather unfortunate Blood Hunters #1 doesn’t live up to the event debut. But, when the event debut is so good, it’s kind of hard to. Part of the issue is the comic’s tone doesn’t really match the horror of the event’s debut and the comedic tone of the comic feels rather odd. When there’s so much to explore in the chaos, it’s an oddity for sure.

A team of mutants pay a high price for fame, fortune, and power in X-Factor

Posted on by

While the X-Men’s mission forces them to work outside the law, certain teams have found ways to fight for mutant rights within the system as officially sanctioned strike forces! In the upcoming From the Ashes era, that tradition continues in a new volume of X-Factor from writer Mark Russell and artist Bob Quinn.

Formed by the government in response to a post-Krakoa outbreak of mutant paramilitary, ops squads, and mercenary teams, X-Factor will be co-led by Angel and Havok and include recruits like Pyro, Frenzy, Feral, and more. Part special agents for missions that require an arsenal of superpowers and part celebrity propaganda machine, X-Factor will wage war against emerging factions like the Mutant Underground and X-Term. Whether they believe in their actions or are just doing it for a check, the members of X-Factor are no fools when it comes to shady politics. As hidden agendas rear their ugly head, they’ll fight against the dark consequences and disastrous public opinion from the inside! 

FAME, FORTUNE, MUTANTS! From the ashes of Krakoa, a new mutant arms race sweeps the globe! International governments are building their own mutant armies. But only America’s X-Factor has the most powerful, most patriotic, most marketable mutant heroes to stem the tide and make the world safe for democracy! Join them as they go from one death-defying mission to another. Who will die? Who will fall in love? Who will be the first to sell out? Like, comment and subscribe to find out!

Mutant sell-outs or mutant role models? You be the judge! Check out the main cover and preorder X-Factor #1 at your local comic shop today!

You won’t believe how the Web of Life and Destiny impacts Spider-Man storytelling this time as the possibilities of the Spider-Verse are unleashed in full!

After Edge of Spider-Verse #1 kicks things off with the first appearance of Weapon VIII and the exciting comeback of the tech-savvy Spider-Byte, Edge of Spider-Verse #2 takes things to the next level in March with the debut of a terrifying new baddie and a resurgence of a fan-favorite ‘90s wallcrawler!
