The Midnight Sons return, Black Panther becomes a vampire, and much more in Marvel's Blood Hunt tie-ins
Marvel's Blood Hunt event is shaping up to potentially be one of the publisher's biggest stories in some time, with six spin-off limited series announced so far and more yet to come, to say nothing of ongoing series tie-ins and one-shots that are yet to be announced.
The four tie-ins announced so far bring the threat of vampires all across the Marvel Universe, including to some unexpected characters.

Union Jack has a long history with the Nazi vampire Baron Blood, so it's not totally out of left field that he's getting out there as part of Blood Hunt. Here's the cover of May 15's Union Jack the Ripper by Ryan Brown:
Third up is another vampire slayer, Bloodline, daughter of Blade, who is teaming up with none other than Dracula as "their interests align, however briefly."

Like all the other Blood Hunt limited series, Midnight Sons: Blood Hunt runs for three issues. It's written by Bryan Hill with art by Germán Peralta. Here's the cover
