Don’t miss this spine-chilling chapter of BLOOD HUNT!
“I love that I get to flex a dark, macabre writing muscle than my usual fare in Marvel,” Loo said. “In this one-shot starring Jake Gomez, aka the new Werewolf By Night, both artist Adam Gorham and myself are delivering a teen-horror Grindhouse feature that’s so gruesome, you’ll need permission from your parent/guardian to read it. BLOOD HUNT!!!”
“Bringing the Incredible Hulk back to his horror roots this past year was one of the easiest writing decisions I’ve ever made,” Johnson added. “As a fan, I love Hulk best when he’s scary, fighting other monsters even as he reminds us he’s one of them. So when Marvel asked if I thought Hulk could have a place in BLOOD HUNT, again, it was a no-brainer. Danny Earls and I are crafting a creepy, haunting story for vampire fans and Hulk fans alike that I guarantee they’ve never seen before, and that they won’t easily forget.”
