Rated T+
All three stories worked so well together in one comic book. Each one had their own stakes but it was still shown they were all fighting the same battle. The Blood Hunters books have been really exciting! The creative teams truly showing their incredible skills at keeping you captivated in the small stories while keeping your mind on the big picture of the story as a whole. Read Full Review
Blood Hunters #2 collectively sinks deeper into the darkness. Throughout the issue, the scenarios are getting bleaker. Read Full Review
Blood Hunter #2 is a strong use of the anthology format, using the page real estate to spotlight characters' reactions to the overarching plot while deepening the reactions to the vampiric ideals. Read Full Review
Ultimately, Blood Hunters's second issue isn't as strong as its first, but that's the benefit of an anthology, there's always room to bounce back. Read Full Review
Not as good as the first issue. The Hulk story was good and my favorite of the three, but I thought the flashback stuff was ham fisted. The Hulk part was interesting though, and fit well with the overall event. The Hawkeye story again is the weak point of the trio. Seriously, she's stuck on this "gotta kill him because he's a vampire" even though he was helping her and explained how he doesn't kill people and does good? Pretty dumb, as if there haven't been numerous examples of good vampires in the Marvel universe. The third story had enjoyable bits, Dagger is always a delight and seeing her try to appeal to Yelena was nice, but Elsa was boorish and boring. The writer was trying too hard with the Britishisms. Great looking art thoug more
None of the stories here really justify themselves. The Hulk story was the best, but it also went the route of very easily gained emotional manipulation with a sad story about a dog. Ann Nocenti's Hawkeye story felt almost nonsensical at times. And the ongoing Blood Hunters story failed to be as engaging as its first part was.
Definitely one of the books of all time. Seriously, though, I just could not get invested in this one. Andrews & Lins's story was probably the best, but it felt a bit disjointed at times. As for Nocenti & Baldeón's, it felt even more disjointed than the previous one. Baldeón's art was solid, but Nocenti's story just felt super odd and strange. Even Schultz & Chang's story wasn't great. It certainly wasn't as interesting as their story in the last issue. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm reading this while a little tired, but I really struggled to get into this issue.
