About this Issue

This middle chapter of the three-issue Blood Hunt tie-in series is the narrative pivot around which Morbius's divided loyalties crystallize: writer Justina Ireland forces the question of whether a Living Vampire who has been willingly collaborating with his captors can still be the key to reversing a vampire apocalypse. The issue also marks the in-continuity canonization of the 'It's Morbin' Time' internet meme — a rare moment where Marvel directly absorbed a piece of online pop-culture mockery into its published text — giving the moment a durably odd footnote in Spider-Man publishing history. For fans of Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, the issue delivers the gut-punch of Colleen's vampirization, raising the stakes for the Daughters of the Dragon beyond mere supporting-cast duty.

History

The Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt miniseries was commissioned as a direct tie-in to the 2024 Blood Hunt crossover event written by Jed MacKay and illustrated by Pepe Larraz, with the Spider-Man thread spinning out of Amazing Spider-Man #49. Marvel tapped Justina Ireland — a New York Times bestselling novelist best known for the Dread Nation duology and as a lead story architect of Star Wars: The High Republic — to script all three issues, making it one of her most prominent Marvel assignments to date. Marcelo Ferreira handled pencils throughout the miniseries, with Roberto Poggi on inks and Rachelle Rosenberg on colors, under editor Nick Lowe.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • Released June 12, 2024 (cover-dated August 2024); issue #2 of a three-issue limited series.
  • Written by Justina Ireland; pencilled by Marcelo Ferreira; inked by Roberto Poggi; colored by Rachelle Rosenberg; lettered by Cory Petit; edited by Nick Lowe.
  • First comic-book appearances of Whitney (leader of Hemoglobin Inc.'s Cure program) and Sarah (a prisoner in Hemoglobin Inc.'s pens) occur in this issue.
  • Theocritus (T.J./Thomas), introduced in issue #1 as a former Beyond Corporation underling turned vampire biotech entrepreneur, plays a central antagonist role; the issue includes an in-canon reference to the 'It's Morbin' Time' internet meme.
  • Colleen Wing is revealed to have been bitten and subsequently vampirized by Hemoglobin Inc., dramatically escalating her subplot and creating a direct confrontation with her partner Misty Knight.
  • Maxine Danger, CEO of the Beyond Corporation, dispatches Spider-Man, the Lizard, and Misty Knight to retrieve Theocritus after he steals Beyond Corporation proprietary technology — tying the Blood Hunt vampire crisis to corporate espionage threads from recent Amazing Spider-Man continuity.
  • Morbius agrees to collaborate with the vampires after discovering their serum can suppress hunger for a limited period, positioning his research as the crux of whether a full vampirism cure is achievable.
  • The complete miniseries (issues #1–3) was collected in the trade paperback Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt alongside Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #49 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2023) #21–22; the Marvel Database records two reprints of this individual issue.
