Rated T+
Erica Schultz hasn't missed once and Blood Hunters #1 seals that deal. I really enjoyed Blood Hunters #1-4, so I was ecstatic to see she was continuing the team of Dagger, Elsa, Hallow's Eve and White Widow. Now with the Blood Coven and Spider-Man in the mix, I'm more excited than ever. The Blood Coven is an exciting factor to add in as I'm looking forward to seeing them in action even more. With the Blood Hunters team, I really enjoy them working together as they seem like people who just wouldn't work together, but Schultz does a great job with their banter and tension.

There's a lot of things the concept for Blood Hunters could have been, but it unfortunately opted for boring. Read Full Review
This is a very middle of the road starting point. Also, I don't understand why this has an all-female team. They make an excuse about Cloak recuperating, but there's no reason why cloak can't be on this team and round it out. It does feel like something is missing and Dagger is not leader material. The leader should be Yelena. There are a lot of problems here and fighting generic vampires doesn't help. There needs to be a real story here. I'll get the next few issues and see if Erica can find one.

The crossover tie-in was pleasant enough, so I wanted to see what this book would be like when it had space to develop its own identity and... well, they've decided not to go the "developing its own identity" route I guess. Neither Schultz nor Gill turns in bad work, per se, just lifeless work that offers little more than keeping a tertiary tie-in going beyond the main story. (Though Elsa Bloodstone is unforgivably generic here — why use that character if you're not going to make her wacky?) After a whole summer of "vampires are eating people and they should probably stop" the concept, which was never deep enough for all those tie-ins in the first place, is thoroughly played out and this series needed to bring something stronger than that more
