New York, NY— April 5, 2024 — As the sky darkens across the globe and vampires reign in BLOOD HUNT, what hidden plot puts Logan directly in their crosshairs? Find out this June in WOLVERINE: BLOOD HUNT, an upcoming tie-in series from hit writer Tom Waltz and celebrated Wolverine artist Juan José Ryp.
The four-issue saga will mark the exciting Marvel Comics debut of Waltz, who’s been making big waves in the industry with his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. To celebrate his first venture into the Marvel Universe, Waltz’s The Last Ronin collaborator and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman has drawn an action-packed cover for WOLVERINE: BLOOD HUNT #1. The legendary artist’s awesome depiction of Wolverine proves that the vampire hordes are no match for claws, a healing factor, and a berserker’s rage. The piece also spotlights Louise of the Nightguard, Wolverine’s mysterious new ally who’s been fighting at his side in a personal war against the vampire nation, a long-simmering subplot in Benjamin Percy’s Wolverine run that will now come to a head!
