Blood Hunters #1

Four fierce figures dive straight at the reader in Ema Lupacchino's cover for this 2024 Marvel series opener — a fanged, black-and-red spider-suited vampire lunges at center, flanked by a red-haired woman wielding a flaming torch and a gun, a white-suited blonde with a blade, and a determined shorter figure in wrapped bandages clutching her own weapon. Writer Erica Schultz and artist Robert Gill launch what promises to be a high-stakes supernatural team book, with Rain Beredo's colors giving every streak of energy and splash of costume color a vivid, kinetic punch. If you're looking for a 2024 Marvel title with serious attitude and a squad built for monster-hunting, Blood Hunters #1 makes a striking first impression.
