X-Chat finds the Heir of Apocalypse, goes on a Blood Hunt and mashes up with Donald Duck

Tony Thornley and Matthew Lazorwitz — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000

As the X-Men are rising from the ashes, one face in particular looks to the past in X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse from Steve Foxe, Netho Diaz, Sean Parsons, Alex Sinclair and Clayton Cowles. The X-Men are probably the superheroes best equipped to fight vampires, so why are we doing four character-focused one-shots? Well, they’re fun...

Do y’all remember the 2016 X-Men ’92 story “The World Is a Vampire” by Chris Sims, Chad Bowers and Alti Firmansyah? The BotA Boyz covered it waaaaaaay back in Episode 7. In that story, Dead Girl from the X-Statix journeys into the Darkhold matrix or whatever and the Darkhold takes the form of a little...

Psy-Crow is still a thing in our EXCLUSIVE preview of X-Men: Blood Hunt: Psylocke

Dan Grote — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 18:00:00 +0000

One of the many pleasant surprises of the Krakoan era was the budding romance between a post-Betsy Psylocke, now in her own body, and John Greycrow. Y’see, Greycrow used to be a real piece of shit. Except his idea of sloppy steaks at Truffoni’s was killing all the Morlocks. But people can change, no matter...

Illyana Lights up the Night in X-Men: Blood Hunt – Magik #1!

Latonya Pennington — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

When X-Men: Blood Hunt Magik #1 begins, Illyana Rasputina is reminiscing about a childhood story of the warrior knight Ilya Muromets.

Our EXCLUSIVE preview of X-Men: Blood Hunt: Jubilee reminds us she was a vampire once

Dan Grote — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Oh, that’s right, Jubilee was a vampire for, like, a really long time! Not reading X-Men comics from roughly 2004 to 2017 means I almost completely skipped Jubilee’s vampire phase, save for the tail end of it in the Christina Strain/Amilcar Pinna Generation X series. Hey, didn’t Jubilee have a kid, too? What happened there?...

A superhero says swears in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Blood Hunt: Union Jack the Ripper #1

Dan Grote — Thu, 16 May 2024 18:00:00 +0000

If Captain Britain is Britain’s Captain America, Union Jack is its … Hawkeye? Sure, let’s say that. A blue-collar, working-class guy more likely to be played by Jason Statham. Hey, have any of you guys seen The Beekeeper yet? I’ve heard it’s pretty good. Anyway, Union Jack has plenty of experience with vampires. He was...

The skies have gone dark, the sun hiding its face from the carnage to come. The children of the night, the vampires, have risen from the dark and hidden places of the world as one to drown the Marvel Universe in blood. Earth’s final night has fallen. Can even the heroes of this doomed world...

Marvel’s Blood Hunt wasn’t always called that.

EXCLUSIVE: It takes a kid to kill a kid in Strange Academy: Blood Hunt #2

Dan Grote — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 16:00:00 +0000

The Darkhold is a mystic tome that holds nearly all the secrets of black magic, a book so powerful it can drive its possessor insane. Also it was in WandaVision. Nowadays, it’s apparently also a child? As revealed in those “Contest of Chaos” annuals where Agatha Harkness made superheroes fight? (Imagine if “Shattershot” came out...
