Nothing In Blood Hunt Matters Today- But Does That Matter? (Spoilers)

There are four Blood Hunt tie-ins published today, Avengers, Hulk, Union Jack The Ripper and Wolverine, divorced from the main thrust.

I have been surprised by some of the Blood Hunt tie-ins, such as Moon Knight, Strange Academy and Black Panther, that seem inextricably important to the main narrative of Blood Hunt in the main series, which may leave some readers perplexed without reading them. And then there are all four tie-ins published today, Avengers, Hulk, Union Jack The Ripper and Wolverine, that seem absolutely divorced from the main thrust of the storyline, and can be skipped over without missing a beat.

Not that it's devoid of continuity of course. Avengers flashes back to a time of… flashing.

It was a different time. Like, three thousand years ago. Wolverine gets jealous of slashing everyone else with blades.

Union Jack gets to do similar to a big bad vampire, but also gets the Wolverine treatment back again.

And Bruce Banner goes looking for the American dream in the Wild West. Or at least the staged version.

Now, the Avengers find a way to deal with vampires by bringing the sunlight to them… it looks like the Darkforce only goes so far up.

Bruce Banner gets distracted by a tale of immigration, crossing the US border illegally, many years ago.

And the dangers inherent to such a journey.

Wolverine deals with vampires the way he knows best.

By becoming one of them, after giving his healing factor a lot more to deal with than usual.

Union Jack suffers the same fate, though again, by another hand than his.

And Bruce Baner encounters a tale of America, steeped with irony, satire and parallels to, well, whatever you want to point it at, I guess.

Oh yes, and vampires as well.

There do seem to be plenty to go around…
