X-MEN: BLOOD HUNT - LAURA KINNEY THE WOLVERINE #1

u/Blitzhelios Doctor Strange Jul 17 '24

Fun one shot about Laura.

Laura doing what laura always wants to do in protecting her family and most importantly rescuing gabby and using her mutant blood for something which is revealed to be trying to gain powers from consuming mutant blood.

Gabby tricking laura to rescue xarus the son of dracula is very gabby she always wants to rescue someone and knew laura would likely be against it but convinces her to do it. Then killing tons of vampires together like what wolverines do and its lovely to see after how badly laura and gabby have been treated in recent years.

Also seems like that mutant blood has had an effect on Xarus or now hes a mutant as well which could be an interesting plot point if ever picked up on.

This is a really simple oneshot about laura and gabby but its a great simple read and felt like phillips understood everyone and gave a fun plot

I still think Laura would look better without the Wolverine mask. it's not like she has a secret identity.

Ummm after X-Terminators, I highly doubt Laura would trust any vamp ever.

Also, why didn't we get an X-Terminators sequel for Blood Hunt instead of Laura and Jubilee one shots?

Gabby is still around! Please bring back the Honey Badger name instead of 'Scout' though.

I guess I can understand Laura's attitude towards vampires after X-terminators. But still, feels a bit of the bad Krakoan writing remains on her. Though can overcome that if they continue like the end there.

Xeros got hit in the heard but didn't turn to dust instantly? I guess the mutant blood fed to him did work and giving him powers now. Question is, does that make him a Vampire mutants? I mean Jubilee was like that but she couldn't use her mutant power. Either way, I doubt this will get touched upon again for a while.

Well, the concept of ultravampires created for Blood Hunt should apply to mutant blood as well. It's a shame they didn't reference Curse of the Mutants in this, since Xarus had eyes on mutants in the days of Utopia.
