Marvel Comics has revealed artist Javier Fernandez’s Foil Variant Cover for the debut issue of the vampire-centric event series Blood Hunt.
Blood Hunt launches early this coming May from writer Jed MacKay, artist Pepe Larraz, and colorist Marte Gracia. The five-issue limited series pits Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against an invading vampire horde. Fernandez’s foil cover for issue #1 finds Spider-Man and fellow Avengers Thor, Scarlet Witch, and Vision surrounded by blood-sucking creatures of the night.

An official synopsis for Blood Hunt #1 reads as follows: “THE BLOODIEST MARVEL EVENT EVER! 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 stem the tide of blood that is to come? Join the AVENGERS, BLADE, BLOODLINE, SPIDER-MAN, HUNTER’S MOON, TIGRA, DOCTOR STRANGE and CLEA as the dance of death begins in BLOOD HUNT #1! On-Sale in May!”
“I think vampires are a very fun part of the Marvel Universe,” MacKay said. “You can enjoy them on a surface level as adding a little spookiness to a book, or you can get as deep as you like into the long-running Marvel history of vampires, which is as elaborate as any other part of it (and the fact that Dracula is there is a source of endless delight)! BLOOD HUNT is just the latest chapter in the long-running vampire mythos of Marvel vampires — and they’re stepping out of the darkness in a big way.”
In addition to the main five-issue series, the upcoming event will play out in a number of other limited series, one-shots, and tie-in issues.
Blood Hunt #1 goes on sale Wednesday, May 1 from Marvel Comics. The issue features a main cover by Pepe Larraz.
