Blood Hunt kicks off in May from Marvel Comics, and as the vampire menace attempts to take over the Earth, the action (and spotlight) turns to the UK, and its hero Union Jack. Take the jump for the low-down on Union Jack The Ripper: Blood Hunt.
The three-issue series is written by Cavan Scott with art by Kev Walker.
Here is the description of the mini-series from the publisher:
The iconic British hero armors up, grabs his trusty Webley pistol, liberates a medieval longsword, straps on some grenades, and heads out to slaughter the blood-sucking masses in a way that would make the Punisher envious! Union Jack’s solo mission will place him at war with a specific brood of vampires targeting his homeland, all led by a mysterious villain known as the Hunger!
“It’s going to be more brutal than anything we’ve seen from Union Jack as his methods shift to match the ferocity of an empowered enemy,” Scott shared in a press release from Marvel Comics. “Working with Kev Walker on this book is a dream, as we both embrace our love of horror in every panel. But it’s not going to just be a gorefest for all involved. The miniseries will be asking some big, heartfelt questions appropriate for a character who wears his country’s flag on his chest. What does that mean when everything you believe in is turned on its head, when everything you’ve always taken for granted shifts beneath your feet?”
Union Jack The Ripper: Blood Hunt #1 is scheduled to arrive in stores on May 15, 2024.
