This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, the 4th of May, and sees comic book publishers set out their wares. Including Marvel Comics and their Blood Hunt event which kicked off this Wednesday. With a new team to fight the Avengers and a new mission for Blade. But how will Marvel pitch that to Free Comic Book Day attendees?

A jolly quippy fight with Spider-Man? This would be your standard Spider-man battle, it it wasn't that Doctor Dark gets his powers from the dark dimension known as Darkforce. And he's not alone in that.

And as we saw on Wednesday, The Structure is using Darkforce powered folk as conduits to blocking out the sun.

A bit like that. And it is happening everywhere, The Fantastic Four are affected even in the desert, well away from other Darkforce users.

MIster Fantastic guesses wrong. The Invisible Woman deduces correctly. Does her own power of invisibility help her measure such?

Possibly. Blind superhero Daredevil experiences the Darkforced world in his own specific fashion.

And as the vampires come out, so does Brielle Brooks, Bloodline, daughter of Blade. But here's the thing, as those who made it to the final page of Blood Hunt #1 know.

Her dad, Blade, is now the bad guy, in charge of the Structure, creating the Blood Hunt, potentially from drinking the blood of Dracula. In that case who will Bloodline find to go up against Blade and save the world from the Blood Hunt?

Dracula and Bloodline teaming up against Blade? Will the other superheroes trust her, those who haven't been turned into vampires already?
