This May, as the skies of the Marvel Universe go dark and the children of the night rise to drown the Earth in blood, the most legendary vampire in history will execute a bold plan of his own!
Dracula’s pivotal role in BLOOD HUNT will play out in both Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz’s main series and DRACULA: BLOOD HUNT, a special three-issue tie-in series by writer Danny Lore (BLOODLINE: DAUGHTER OF BLADE) and artist Vincenzo Carratù (DEAD X-MEN). DRACULA: BLOOD HUNT will see the lord of vampires team up with none other than the daughter of his greatest nemesis: Bloodline, the daughter of Blade!
Following her hit limited series last year and her recent appearances in MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN, Brielle Brooks takes center stage as her unique family legacy makes her a key player in the upcoming crossover event. Vampires are stronger than ever before and this burgeoning slayer’s fate has always been written in blood. Now, co-creator Danny Lore returns to bring Brielle to her ultimate destiny—at the hands of Dracula!
ALL WILL BOW TO THE LORD OF VAMPIRES! Blade is Dracula’s ultimate nemesis: the most formidable vampire hunter in the world. Blade is Brielle Brooks’ father: the man who’s training her to follow in his footsteps. During BLOOD HUNT, when day is night and all is not as it appears, these enemies may find their interests—however briefly—aligned…for the fate of humanity?!
« One of the most interesting things about Dracula, for me, is that he doesn’t run on mortal time, and because of that, his reasoning tends toward shadowy and full of schemes, » Lore explained. « Right now, his goal is to keep Brielle safe—but what does it mean to protect the kid of the number-one thorn in your side? And why? »
« I’m obviously very excited to be part of this crossover which is spearheaded by Pepe Larraz, one of the most important artists of our entire generation, » Carratù shared. « I’m very grateful to my editors for giving me the chance to be a part of this. I love drawing monsters, and Dracula is the prince of all monsters. It’s always fun to be able to draw a battle between vampires because they allow you to do things that cannot be done with normal anatomies and Dracula is the icing on the cake! »
« In the early stages of a Marvel character’s history, one of the most important moments is when their world broadens to include the rest of their universe, » Lore added. « In her origin, we brought the world of magic and the supernatural to Brielle, and I’m overjoyed to be a part of bringing HER to the world of capes and super heroes. »

Pas foufou, quand même. Danny Lore prend son temps pour sa mini-série sympathique, mais qui n’emballe pas beaucoup. On suit ici Dracula qui sait ce qu’il va se passer, a fait espionner Brielle, alias Bloodline, la fille de Blade. Il la rejoint via téléportation par magie du sang, l’aide durant l’attaque globale et la convainc. Ils arrivent à New York et vont croiser Daredevil…
Pas foufou, non. Danny Lore écrit correctement Bloodline et Dracula, mais ce n’est pas très passionnant. Ça se laisse lire, ce n’est pas désagréable mais ça n’apporte rien et surtout on est dans la même situation qu’après le FCBD. Vincenzo Carratù rappelle Paco Medina, avec des dessins corrects, sans plus.
Pas mauvais mais pas passionnant.

In the deepest, darkest, unholiest night ever known to man or beast, DRACULA, Lord of Vampires, has come to BLOODLINE, daughter of Blade, demanding a sacrifice: a devil’s bargain of the soul. A soul in peril? Seek a priest. A deal to escape? A lawyer. And a devil must be met face-to-face. Luckily for Bloodline, there’s one man who fulfills all three criteria: none other than DAREDEVIL. But does he - or anyone - stand a chance against a city full of bloodthirsty vampires…and the unending night in which they feed?!

Un bon épisode d’analyse. Danny Lore livre un joli échange entre Brielle, qui fuit les super-héros après la révélation que Blade est le Seigneur des Vampires et l’annonce par Dracula qu’elle doit le tuer, et Daredevil, qui l’aide face à des Vampires. Elle lui révèle tout, il la conseille et l’aide à accepter le statut de héros. Dracula les rejoint, tabasse DD puis Brielle accepte de le suivre. Elle appelle sa mère, mais… un Blade démonisé arrive pour la récupérer !
C’est bien, oui. Danny Lore gère bien son récit et surtout Brielle, dont les réactions sonnent crédibles. L’échange avec DD est bon et juste, et les dessins de Vicenzo Carratu sont efficaces.
Un ensemble solide et un bon dialogue.

WHAT CANNOT BE DONE…IS WHAT MUST BE DONE!
The vampire scourge continues to ravage Earth as the BLOOD HUNT rages on - and DRACULA must move to assert his place in the hierarchy of the night! That is, if he can convince Brielle Brooks, A.K.A. Bloodline, to bend to his will - unfortunately, she’s a teenage girl, and convincing her of anything will take every resource the immortal Lord of Vampires has at his disposal…

Un bon final, agréable en soi et important (mais pas indispensable) pour la saga elle-même. Dracula affronte les monstres vampiriques envoyés par Varnae, alors que Brielle combat des illusions de ce même Varnae, présent dans le corps de son père Blade. Elle fatigue, souffre face aux images de ses proches vampirisés mais un appel téléphonique de sa mère la sort de transe et la pousse à accepter qu’elle ne peut pas tout réussir, mais qu’elle peut faire au mieux. Elle rejette les illusions, retrouve Dracula et entend protéger son père de lui-même.
C’est bien, oui. Danny Lore livre un récit correct, bien animé sur les doutes et débats de Brielle, qui est sympathique sous sa plume. Il propose en outre une intrigue importante pour la saga Blood Hunt, car Bloodline file directement dans le final pour y jouer un grand rôle. Vincenzo Carratù illustre tout ça efficacement, avec de belles images et un certain dynamisme.
Une bonne fin d’une bonne intrigue pour un bon tie-in.
