"Bloodlines!" kicks off with Sam and Bobby stepping into the spotlight in Mojoworld, crafting their first film—a bold, cinematic take on Marvel heroes clashing during the Civil War. Written by Jonathan Hickman and brought to life by Nick Pitarra’s dynamic art and Nathan Fairbairn’s vivid colors, the story captures the spectacle of a universe where entertainment and conflict blur, all under Mojo’s demanding eye. The cover by Kenneth Rocafort perfectly frames the chaotic creativity at the heart of the issue.
