Blood Hunt continues to turn Marvel Comics characters into vampires, a trend that seems to indicate that this will have to be reversed at some point. Even though Wolverine seems to be gutting his way through recently turned vampires along the way.

Marvel

Wolverine Blood Hunt #1 drops the exposition about what has happened in Blood Hunt as a whole. But what about the pyjama party, pals?

Marvel

Well, Blood Hunters has Elsa Bloodstone just saying that it's gone dark. No other explanations are necessary. And then uses an English word that doesn't exist. "Crickey". Is that meant to be "cricket"? Or is"crikey", an exclamation common to the upper classes in the 1930s? Somewhere in between?

Marvel

Venom sees Dylan Brock dealing with a Catholic priest, the one who Venom always pals around with, now a vampire too, who gets a little too handsy. Or should that be toothy?

Marvel

Louise of the Nightguard in her Crusader gear, was introduced a few years ago when Wolverine was doing his anti-vampire schtick, which seems rather prescient right now and revealed to be a vampire. She's one of those tame vampires Elisa was talking about, though, and happy to take down more bloodthirsty vampires along the way.

Marvel

How she copes with wearing a cross across her chest is another story, as are her involutions with garlic and holy water to warf her new nature off.

Marvel

Hey! Just because he's Pizza Dog, doesn't mean you get to nibble on his stuff crust! Thankfully Lucky escapes uninfected.

Marvel

And you really be a good vampire if you were going to eat Lucky? Turns out another Wolverine regular is also doing the daytime coffin shuffle.

Marvel

Maverick, he's always playing for the winning team. Until he has to double-cross everyone, that is. Which will naturally ward off vampires.

Marvel

Even these zombiote semi-vampires filling Venom ahead of Venom War. But who else is turning?

Marvel

Crikey? Butchers? Jim Jams? There is no rhyme or reason for this choice of words. Add Yelana Nelova, former Black Widow, then White Widow, and now a Red All Over Widow. You might not want to get too close…

Marvel

First, her boyfriend gets used to turn the work dark, now Dagger is joining Cloak in the dark… and Elisa's accent and word choice is really all over the place. Maybe she is doing it on purpose?
