The vampires’ first strike has laid low the world, and their endless legions run riot across the planet. The broken Avengers join the fighters of the Midnight Mission and unlikely allies Bloodline and Dracula in seeking out the one man who can do something about this: Doctor Strange. But after the apocalyptic events of Blood Hunt #1, what is left of Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme? Blood Hunt #2 keeps up the quality, fun, and surprises of the first issue in another fantastic chapter.

While there’s some formula to it, Blood Hunt #2 is another impressive chapter that keeps readers on their toes and keeps up the hope that this is Marvel’s best event in a while. Things look grim and hope is slim as the world has been plunged into darkness and Blade has lead the vampire nation into dominance. Writer Jed MacKay is delivering bangers with each issue and this one is packed with “hell yeah” moments that remind you why the Avengers are the Earth’s Mightiest. There’s battles. There’s surprises. There’s more unexpected moments all delivered with a flair that emphasizes the epic nature of it all.

The art by Pepe Larraz is fantastic. It features multiple moments and panels that make the Avengers badass and will give readers pause. It’s all helped by the color of Marte Gracia which keeps things dark but not too dark to drawn out the visuals. The lettering by Cory Petit delivers an emphasis on the characters and where they stand in a way. It all comes together to deliver a comic that has so many cool moments punctuated by the art.

Blood Hunt #2 is a hell of a second issue that eases the fears the event would start with a bang and quickly wither. There’s another great surprise here that feels like it comes out of nowhere in a good way. There’s also some fantastic moments in battle that really show off how amazing the Avengers are. It’s an event that feels like Marvel is at the top of its game again. Here’s hoping it keeps up.
