Among the Marvel Universe’s blood suckers, one stands out as the most tragic: Morbius, the Living Vampire! When vampire legions unite and usher in the eternal night, Morbius’ unique self-inflicted bloodlust may hold the key to reversing it—or strengthening it!
Spider-Man will be tasked to find his iconic vampiric villain in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: BLOOD HUNT, a new tie-in series spinning out of Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz’s BLOOD HUNT crossover event. Written by Justina Ireland (DEADPOOL: SEVEN SLAUGHTERS) and drawn by artist Marcelo Ferreira (MOON KNIGHT: CITY OF THE DEAD), SPIDER-MAN: BLOOD HUNT will see Spidey team up with Misty Knight and the Lizard to rescue Morbius—who has already fallen into the vampire overlord’s clutches!
« Getting to write Morbius, The Living Vampire, has been a lot of fun, » Ireland shared. « He’s always been a delightful foil to Spider-Man and other heroes of the Marvel Universe, and I hope I can capture the determination to change one’s fate that I’ve always loved about the character. Well, that and the brooding. »
« I was really excited when my editor invited me to be a part of the BLOOD HUNT crossover by means of penciling the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN tie-in limited series! » Ferreira added. « It is double special for me, because it is a return to two characters that I’ve drawn before and that have a special place in my heart: Spidey and Morbius! Or maybe I can say triple special, because it also involves vampires. I think my art perfectly matches these darker themes. »
Spidey’s mission in BLOOD HUNT has become clear and, of course, it involves his old friend Michael Morbius. After he discovers the importance of his fanged foe in the vampire’s overall plans, Peter will have to decide if he needs to take him out or save him!

Rien de désagréable, mais beaucoup de vide. Après un « lancement » dans Amazing Spider-Man #49, où Spider-Man voyait l’attaque des vampires de Blood Hunt via le prisme d’une petite frappe et de White Rabbit vampirisée, voici une mini-série complète sur Spider-Man durant l’événement. Un Peter qui bloque des vampires, croise un Lézard « allié » ou plutôt à la solde d’une Misty Knight en mission, pour retrouver un Morbius avec qui elle collabore et qui aurait un remède. Le numéro montre une enquête lente, longue et peu intéressante, qui n’aboutit encore sur rien hormis un final pour défendre une église.
Bon, ce n’est pas intéressant. C’est vain, creux, pas désagréable en soi, mais Amazing Spider-Man #49 aurait suffi en lui-même et Justina Ireland ne parvient pas à donner un quelconque intérêt, alors que Morbius et un contexte vampirique ont du sens ensemble. Peut-être que la suite se penchera dessus, là c’est un #1 creux et vide, avec un Marcelo Ferreira correct aux dessins.
Vain et creux, malgré le potentiel évident de Morbius avec Blood Hunt, mais… encore faut-il que Morbius arrive.

Morbius is the one man close enough to a cure for vampirism. The vampires of the world cannot allow that cure to be reached.
Spider-Man has Misty Knight, Colleen Wing and the Lizard on his side. But it won’t be enough.
