Marvel revealed the final two tie-ins for the upcoming Blood Hunt event, Werewolf by Night: Blood Hunt #1 and Hulk: Blood Hunt #1. Both series, set for release this July, offer more connective tissue to the main event, as both titles are set to deal with the monstrous side of the Marvel universe. In Werewolf by Night, writer Jason Loo and artist Adam Gorham reveal the effect the vampire’s plans have on the new lycanthrope, Jake Gomez.
Jason Loo discussed his experience working on the one-shot in the press release, stating:
“I love that I get to flex a dark, macabre writing muscle than my usual fare in Marvel. 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!!!”
Then, Hulk continues Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s twisted tales of mean green battling monsters as artist Danny Earls illustrates Hulk battling vampires in an Old West town.
In the press release, Phillip Kennedy Johnson spoke on integrating his stories into Blood Hunt, stating:
“Bringing The Incredible Hulk back to his horror roots this past year was one of the easiest writing decisions I’ve ever made. 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.”
