Bloodstone Shocker: Marvel Variant Cover Reveals Family Secret

A shocking Bloodstone family secret has been revealed via a variant cover for an upcoming super-mega-crossover event tie-in. A Death of Doctor Strange: Bloodstone #1 variant cover by Ig Guara reveals Lyra Bloodstone, a long-lost Bloodstone sibling. A press release from Marvel contains all the details you need to know about the tie-in.

The death of Doctor Strange has unleashed terrifying new mystical threats on the Marvel Universe and who better to defend Earth from these magical invaders than monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone!

The fan-favorite Marvel hero will take center stage in next month's DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE: BLOODSTONE #1, a thrilling one-shot by writer Tini Howard and artist Ig Guara. Elsa and her brother Cullen will use their skills to protect a mysterious new member of their family: their long-lost sister Lyra! Equipped with awesome powers of her own, Lyra's unique Blood gem has placed a target on her back, and the worst horrors from beyond this realm are on the hunt!

Having redefined Marvel magic in the pages of EXCALIBUR, Tini Howard now puts a spin on the Bloodstones that will lay the groundwork for the family's exciting and unpredictable future. And with a killer new design by artist Ig Iguara, Lyra is ready to join her siblings and leave her mark on the Bloodstone legend. Fans can see her for the first time now in Guara's special design variant cover.
