This May, the eternal night washes over the world and vampires begin their savage reign in Marvel Comics' next event series, Blood Hunt.
The upcoming crossover event will envelop the entire Marvel Universe in darkness as our favourite heroes scramble desperately to reverse Earth's tragic fate and save as many as they can from the creatures of the night and their unrelenting blood lust.
In addition to the main series from writer Jed MacKay and artist Pepe Larraz, key chapters and crucial developments will take place from May through July in an assortment of limited series, one-shots, and series tie-in issues.
Today, we have details on what's to come in Blood Hunt's second month with the reveal of the second issues of all eight limited series...
