Marvel's most unlikely super team is back to clean up the mess left after Blood Hunt in Blood Hunters #1

Marvel's big Blood Hunt summer event may have just come to a close, but the Blood Hunters team that formed during the event is sticking around to stake all the vampires still roaming the Earth even after the failure of their insurrection.

Written by Erica Schultz with art by Robert Gill and colorist Rain Beredo, Blood Hunters #1 has the unlikely team of Dagger (of Cloak and Dagger), Elsa Bloodstone, Yelena Belova/White Widow, Hallow's Eve, reconvening to take down the remaining members of the Blood Coven and their vampire minions who are still standing after the fall of Varnae, the first vampire of the Marvel Universe who led the vampire forces in trying to trap the world in endless night.

But there's a big hitch: Miles Morales is also now a vampire, having been turned by Varnae himself, and he's getting caught up in the Blood Hunters' mission.
