Continuing this week of…
Ben Percy’s only been off Wolverine a couple weeks now, and this Blood Hunt tie-in has me missing him already. Wolverine: Blood Hunt #2 has Logan teaming up with the vampire hunter from early on in the Vampire Nation arc of Percy’s run. It’s also got him dealing with his on-again, off-again mercenary friend Maverick….
