Doctor Strange and Clea court a dread ally – but at what cost comes this aid? Hunter’s Moon and Tigra do the same- but can this shadowy figure be trusted? And meanwhile, the Avengers are given the battle they so sorely crave in order to avenge their fallen friends. But in the darkness… a light? Blood Hunt #4 is another fantastic issue for one of the best events Marvel has released in years.

Four for four. Each issue of Blood Hunt has been fantastic, delivering action and a lot of surprises. As the previous issue ended, Blade dropped an ancient temple on New York City. In Blood Hunt #4 we not only get an idea as to what it is but also who’s been pulling the strings the entire time. Yes, some of the issue is predictable in that way but overall, it’s another chapter that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.

Writer Jed MacKay has knocked it out of the park with this event that is tightly written and focused. Yes, there’s lots of tie-in issues and a some mini-series, but the main story is cohesive without all of that and impressively can be enjoyed on its own but also is a payoff years in the making.

Where Blood Hunt #4 gets really interesting is the ramifications to come. There’s some deals cut here that are unexpected and will shake things up when the dust settles. It’s also an issue packed with some “hell yeah” moments as the heroes and their allies take the fight to the vampire nation and Blade. It’s an issue that hits all the right beats.

That’s helped by the art of Pepe Larraz. With color by Marte Gracia and lettering by Cory Petit, the comic does a fantastic job of balancing horror and superhero comics. The visuals nail the big moments and will have readers excited for the battle to come in the next issue. There’s some panels that pop and a few characters who haven’t looked better. It’s all top notch visuals that nails the excitement and action delivering an issue that’s as fun to look at as it is to read the dialogue.

Blood Hunt #4 is another fantastic issue for a fantastic event and series. There’s so many moments in this issue that stand out and some fantastic visuals that pop. It’s an event that both feels grand and focused. It’s epic and also small at the same time. It’s also one of the best events Marvel has released in years.
