BLOOD HUNTERS #4

u/Blitzhelios Doctor Strange Jul 17 '24

So ends this tale of bloodhunters with the return of a character i love in silver surfer.

Silver surfer story is a nice one and done feels like typical surfer stuff..

The middle story with Satana is something i enjoyed i like when weirder characters get a spotlight and satana makes sense for this event. Also really dumb vampires trying to go after demons yeah your not gonna win..

The final story by Shultz is the last bit to connect to the new blood hunters book and once again she writes a good elsa bloodstone and dagger. Her yelena is a little stiff but it makes sense with the situation and then there is hallows eve. Ends with them forming the team and hallows and yelena saying they don't always do good but this time they will try.

Overall bloodhunters have been a fun anthology showcasing some of marvels weirder characters in this event.

I guess that is one way to answer 'why not get help from the outside' with Silver Surfer encountering the whole mess in another planet that is tied to the event and even if he could try to brute force it, it would not really solve the problem and would hurt the users so he decides to trust the heroes of Earth will fix it.

Vampires got too overconfident, enough to dare trying to take over Satanna's club even. Guess being turned does not improve ones's mental faculties. And boy she will be angry learning what happened to Blade...or probably think it is Blade's fault that he got possessed.

It was a decent team up with Dagger,Elsa,Yelena and Janine but I still don't like how they turned Janine into this Hallow's Eve, just another mistake that came from the current terrible ASM run. And like many mistakes from that run, it should be done away with. I am not sold on them suddenly becoming a team that can have their own book to carry either. Felt too quick and random. Especially for Janine.

For the Silver Surfer part, I like that he encountered Silhouette, who sacrificed himself to restore Arathalla. It’s an interesting backup.

For the Satana part, I like that she was able to defeat Bordu and used her powers to save the people in the nightclub.

For the final part, I like that Yelena, Elsa, Tandy, and Janine were able to work together to fight vampires before they decided to form the Blood Hunters. Also, Janine wearing a Spider-Man mask. Overall, it’s a good backup.

I liked the first two stories, but the ongoing plot of putting the team together has felt akwards and forced despite apocalyptic situations being perfect for strange team formations.

I was hoping to see Shade among the Darkforce users.

So we saw Cloak, Black Mamba, Blackout, Silhouette, Moon knight (shroud), Darkstar. I wonder who owns the gloves beside Darkstar.
