>>144255879Since when does Tigra have cat ears
>>144255951LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOO
>>144255843>VarnaeQuick, everyone, pretend to be surprised. It's not like we all guessed it months ago or like tie-in issues already spoiled it in advance or anything.
>>144255894Never thought I'd see the day when the Wrecker actually does something useful instead of just job along with his Jobbing Crew.
>>144255894This is pretty great, I love dumb bullshit Rules lawyering like this
>>144255951In related news, Jed MacKay is relaunching the title again as Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, with Marc back as the protagonist.
>>144255994If Carol gets TENTACLED by Varnae I'll suck Mackay and Larraz off
>>144255951>Half of the final issue is just gonna be zombified Egyptians hunting Vampires through the streets
Does anybody feel like tie-ins are a mess?Look at Moon Knight. In this issue we see the aftermath of what I assume will happen in the next month issue of Vengeance of the Moon Knight. It feels very disjointed.
>>144255871So are going to get a Doctor Doom: Sorcerer Supreme book?Would be funny if it ends with him realizing that the position requires more responsibility and attention than he's willing to give, so he gives up on it.
>>144256210I was looking at the tie in list and this issue of mk is before today's issue of blood hunt>tie-insits always like this though
>>144256210The event itself is very obviously made to push Blade and his Daughter for the movie and the tie-ins are being written by literally who's that can't agree on what is happening in the event or how Vampirism works.
>>144255893Since Pepe Larraz started watching too much Anime.
>>144255894So this is who soldier recruited in the bar with no name. And the clues were there too>Gloves >Seemed to be wearing some sort of hood or mask >thug>convinced to stick it up to "them" (The asgardians, who had previously kicked his ass and are also holding Khonshu)
>>144255984Since when is Thor litterally immortal and not just "long livespan" immortal?Did Hela curse him again?
>>144256210The entire event is extremely poorly paced and very bloated.It boggles me that things happen rapid-fire in Blood Hunt 1 and then we have had 3 issues where almost nothing happens. One issue was the Avengers giving a speech for fuck's sake. meanwhile essential plot beats happen in tie-ins like Dr Strange, Moon Knight and others and are then recapped in the core title without new material. It's an atrocious read imo.
>>144255951I wish his suit was all white...
>>144256495He's not immortal, but he's very durable and hard to kill. And Blade/Varnae was keeping him alive so that he and his Blood Coven could feed on his blood.
>>144256495They never killed him. They just disabled him very painfully so they could keep him prisoner, they explicitly said they wanted him alive even in the second issue. So this isn't a gaffe.
>>144256557yeah pacing is atrocious, as always with these events
>>144255820remember when New Attilan was in new york for a few years during the inhuman push, but then just disapeared when it ended?
>>144256210Yeah I feel like the reveal of the Wrecker as the misions secret assistant should have happened in the Moon Knight book, as it was set up there months before the Blood Hunt. Im guessing we will learn new information in next month's Moon Knight issue that wasnt evident in this one.
>>144257021Remember that New York already has a literally open hole to hell in it because of dark web?
>>144257021>>144257083Remember that Las Vegas has a Casino that is also a portal to Hell and used to imprison Mephisto?
>>144255894based
>>144256258Doom becoming SS was teased back in Timeless so either he's getting a book or he's the focus of the next arc in Avengers
>>144257083There should've been a Blood Hunters story that was just a bunch of Limbo Demons coming out of the Embassy and slapping around vampires while still trying to do regular new york tourist shit.
>>144257123also here
>>144257123Next Avengers arc is Storm joining and then Hyperion showing up. I’m guessing if the Doom stuff goes forward it’ll be in something with Strange and Clea
>3 issues of literally nothing happening>all story beats and build up happen in tie ins>whole story is about Varnae and Atlantis but Namor is literally nowhere to be seen>the day will be saved pretty much singlehandedly by Doom, meaning the whole thing could've been solved in minutes by Strange immediately going to LatveriaWhat a sorry excuse of an "event". Not even Larraz's art saves it, since he's not being given anything really cool to draw.
>>144257151>ghost dog>wearing Cloak of Levitation as a bathrobe, meaning she's probably naked under itYou just know
>>144257360Really you could skip everything but issue 1 and 4>Blades gets possesed byy Varnae>world is invaded by the darkforce and vampire>he uses Thor to do a super ritual to make himself god>meanwhile some side characters save Khonshu and Strange go see Doom>presumably those two will save the day
According to several major retailers Blood Hunt and Absolute Power have both sold poorly. Many stores have ordered a lot of copies but they're not moving. Same with Fall/Rise of the House of X.It seems event fatigue is finally kicking in.
>>144257444where
>>144256029I'm just glad they didn't pull a Monarch and change it at the last second
>>144257444Should've had Carol headlining instead of... Blade-but-actually-deep-cut-fish-vampire??
>>144255921So... Knull?
>>144257519Varnae is only a deep cut to tourists and MCu fans, neither of which should dictate the comics.
>>144255921>I am the hole in things. I bring hell on earth and to the world debasement
>>144257605nigga, Varnae is a classic character, please stop mixing that shadow-sonic oc here
>>144257444Source on Hunt selling poorly? I haven't heard about it doing Gangbusters but the combined sales of the regular and 18+ versions seem to be above the average.
>>144255921>literally Nihilus: Vampire EditionWhy can't Varnae get a cooler redesign? He went from disgusting fish-ape to a giant bat inside Blade.
>>144255951>This entire dogshit event was just an excuse to rez Mark and give him a badass ENTERNugget of gold in this shit sea
>>144255793It's going to be pretty awkward once this event is over and books have to go on like normal and pretend that millions of people weren't brutally murdered by vampires worldwide. This event seems to have a way higher body count than previous ones.
>>144257717It seems to be in the top 25, though I think the tie ins have sold like shit
>>144255894Based
>>144256099Mummies vs Vampires
>>144257717>18+ versions>Can't show nudity or swearShit ain't 18+. In a better world we'd all be making fun of this Red Band shit until they gave up in shame instead of trying it again with the Wolverine and AliensXMarvel books
>>144257846Seems to be doing fine by an archive check
>>144256338Last I knew, Danny was the spirit of corruption and Johnny was in a horror arcwhat happened?
>>144256557it's obviously another case of "min-event\small crossover gets promoted to giant-ass line-wide summer event"
>>144257837>This event seems to have a way higher body count than previous ones.Not really it's on par with some of the so called "fun" events, people (rightfully) forget how bad some of the old events got for civilians>Empyre>King in Black >War of Realms>Fear ItselfWar of Realms and Fear Itself were especially bad. Hell all of Paris got turned to stone by the Grey Gargoyle in Fear
>>144257972Danny got Weapon Xed then saved by Johnny reverting him to "normal". The Spirit broke up with Johnny due to Mephesto fuckery and it ran off to bond to The Hood of all people but not before bonding with a few randoms including Danger of the X-men forcing them to murder a fuck ton of (mostly) innocent people. The Spirit of Vengeance should have bonded to Frank so we can get the Punisher but divorced from urban vigilante gun violence AND get a version of Frankrider that isn't just Deadpool but shittier
>>144258020We know exactly how Blood Hunt happened since Mackay said it outright. Tom Breevort thought they needed a vampire event to tie together all the disparate vampire plots that have been running for the last 5-6 yeas and an excuse for the "mature" direction edition gimmick. And he asked Mackay to write it for him.
>>144257932I’d like to see how it’s doing monthly, weekly sales are good but it’s a small sample size and it’s placement depends on if an amazing issue or Batman issue is that week as well
>>144257386Zoophilia is the other female wizard with a white hair, Clea is Stephensexual.
>>144258103But Frank is currently MIA in otherworld and they kind of have to BS some ways on how the spirit ended up in otherworld.
>>144258425she's a faltine, so that's still zoophilia technically
>>144258425I thought she was Benjamin Franklinsexual?
>>144257885Just like the old Times
>>144258478Old man frank is also in space working as whatever is working now but still being a spirit of vengeance, Also his arc to save a certain someone from a space demon is still unfinished.Also the black girl who he hanged with is now the Cosmic Ghost Rider
>>144258478>they kind of have to BS some ways on how the spirit ended up in otherworld.
>>144258478I thought he was in Weirdworld
>>144255793Damn Black Panther didn't get dumped I guess it really is the weakest link in the Ultimates chain
>>144258023They got turned to stone, but those that weren't smashed to pieces went back to normal later, since the Grey Gargoyle's powers don't have permanent effects.
>>144257675He's so fucking old that he's fought Kull, Agamotto, Conan, and deity-era Thor.
>>144259123Didn't Tony have to pray to Odin to have all of Paris restored?
>>144259123That's just one of many atrocities during Fear Itself, really they just need to dial back the collateral damage of events especially if they're gonna keep having the heroes fail at actually saving people
>>144255854>>144255861>>144255871>it's another event where it's gonna be revealed it all was orchestrated by Doom
>>144255793>>Union Jack the Ripper: Blood Hunt #2where is this or was it delayed
>>144257444More DEI writers than ever, of course this was going to sell poorly
>>144255843>Varnae>Jim Varnae>Ernest Becomes a VampirePlease, Marvel.
>>144261074When was the lat time that happened, 2010 ? I don't think we can complain about it if it's been 14 years.
>>144255871I think this is the first time these kids have done anything outside their own book.
>>144255894Well fucking played. It's easy to forget that the Wrecking Crew uses asgardian magic.
>>144255994I'm ready for a good smackdown.
What happened to Chthon again, he was absorbed by Wanda?
>>144261247Christ just say what you fucking mean instead of relying on buzzwords like a coward
>>144262861I mean in this case the guy isn't really wrong, most of the minis are being written by literally who's or outright bad writers. Like the guy doing the Midnight Sons last wrote the Fallen Angels book that was so shit it got canned in 6 issues when Marvel was doing minimum 12 for all ongoings.
>>144262917I'm just saying we're on fucking 4chan faggots have to stop hiding behind Twitter buzzwords they learned a few months ago and just say the shit they want to say
>>144255994Carolbump
>>144257444>It seems dogshit event fatigue is finally kicking in.ftfy
>>144255793While the art its not bad Im kinda burnt out of Larraz, after a long fucking x men run I need a change happens the same with Dan Fucking Mora Im sick of his fucking art
>>144255879Tigra ears are very distracting in this page in like the only page Larraz has drawn with them like this
>>144255951that was rather quick like really quick
>>144256210it's was delayed by a couple weeks for whatever reason
>>144258984he is stuck in wierdworld
