But Why Tho? - William Tucker
May 08, 2024Blood Hunters #1 shows how heroes adapt to the most dramatic situations. There is also a fantastic showcase of how creators can use the same concept and change it thoroughly depending on the main character. Read Full Review

Jun 04, 2024This was such a strong start to this run, and I truly can't wait to see what's next. Everything I've read from the Blood Hunt event has been fabulous and this is no different. Creating so much chaos but still having the emotional depth isn't easy but the creative team pulls it off with flying colors. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
May 08, 2024All three stories in Blood Hunters help convey the dangers heroes are facing in New York and the unique ways they must act to survive. These tales may not tie into the larger plot, but it's fun to see heroes not necessarily on the front lines affected by a vampire uprising and with events what more can you want than a little fun?

Comic Crusaders - Christopher R. Ford
Jun 30, 2024Perhaps surprisingly, this is one of the best issues in the Blood Hunt series to date. At minimum, the variety in the art and the storytelling combine to make Blood Hunters #1 the most original issue thus far. All the characters are on separate missions spread throughout New York. Will they meet up? Only one seems to have a plan so far, so what are their roles in the larger conflict? There are a lot of questions and even more directions these heroes can go in. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Read Full Review

May 08, 2024While not every story is a home run, there's enough here to give Marvel fans something to sink their teeth into whether they're fans of the undead, Wolf Gods, light-baring superheroines, or moustache-sporting marksmen. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
May 08, 2024It's rather unfortunate Blood Hunters #1 doesn't live up to the event debut. But, when the event debut is so good, it's kind of hard to. Part of the issue is the comic's tone doesn't really match the horror of the event's debut and the comedic tone of the comic feels rather odd. When there's so much to explore in the chaos, it's an oddity for sure. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
May 11, 2024Blood Hunters #1 is a solid collection of short stories on their own. The problem is that it doesn't feel like it fits with the rest of the Blood Hunt event, so those who are interested in it because of the event might be disappointed. Read Full Review

The Comic Book Spot - Theodis Wright
May 12, 2024This was not good at all. It does zero to move the event further. It only devalues the importance of the event with the comedy it tries to play. Read Full Review

This is what I expect from an anthology. Hawkeye's story was a bit off tone-wise. The JJJ story was a lot of fun. And Dagger's story has potential.

I liked two of the three stories, so rounding up that's a 7. The Hawkeye story was lame and boring to me, the JJJ and son story was the best and very enjoyable (the scene where JJJ blames Spidey for his son getting turned, and then shifts the blame on Spidey to another reason when John is ok was classic), and the Dagger story was very good too. Cloak and Dagger are characters I've always liked and thought never got enough use or quality talent on books they were in.

I'm not super into anthologies, but I thought I'd give this a chance since I'm going to be reading everything else for Blood Hunt. Russell & Quinn's story with Hawkeye was fun, but nothing all that special. Quinn's art was super clean throughout, but I felt like Russell's story was lacking something. It was good overall, though. Cage & Garrón's story was my favorite of the three. It wasn't incredible or anything, but it had good action while also developing the relationship between Man-Wolf and Jonah as much as it could in the amount of pages it had. Finally, we have Schultz & Chang. Unfortunately, this was the one I liked the least of the bunch. I, personally, just found it a little more difficult to get invested in it. Dagger's inner-mon more

I usually like anthologies, but the only stories I liked was Man-Wolf with J Jonah Jameson and Cloak and Dagger

This was awful, the sort of crossover tie-in that's completely superfluous. The humor in Russell's story was way off tone for this story, and the JJJ story seems unaware of the character's recent relationship with Peter in favor of a reset to 1962's blame-Spider-Man attitude (or did I miss another memory reset?)
