Even Bloodier Pepe Larraz Artwork (And Lots Of Tigra) For Blood Hunt

Wherever Pepe Larraz goes, I will follow. And this summer means the Blood Hunt comic book event as vampires come to New Yorkers.

Wherever Pepe Larraz goes, I will follow. Even to Big Game and back. And this summer means the Blood Hunt comic book event as vampires come to New Yorkers. Who have had to deal with gods, symbiotes, a gang war and another Inferno very recently. Time to move out of that brownhouse, folks…

And that includes Marvel publishing "red band" editions of each issue by Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz in which the events described are even bloodier and nastier. Marvel states "labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those weak of heart from experiencing its intensity, the RED BAND EDITIONS will contain additional pages and more graphic art too explicit for the regular edition. BLOOD HUNT will mark the first time that a different edition of the same Marvel comic book is produced for more mature readers, fitting for this blood-soaked saga where vampires will viciously sink their teeth into your favorite heroes!"

"The most appealing part of drawing BLOOD HUNT, apart from the chance to work with Jed for the first time (who I kept hearing the best of things from all my colleagues and fans), was the chance to go full TERROR mode in a vampire story," Larraz shared. "The Red Band pages are really interesting to me. They allow me to convey the dark, violent, bloody tone of this particular story, and flex new muscles that I don't usually get to use in a super hero comic. And, I'm not going to lie, they're so fun!"

Here's a little further look at the non-red band pages as being previewed in the Marvel Previews catalogue and beyond.
