I just knew this week was going to be a hard one to pick a comic of the week. We got another issue of Invincible Iron Man and X-Men both tackling the end of the Orchis War. Plus throw in a new Wolverine/Deadpool team-up and new issue of Weapon X-Men and you have some interesting choices to make. But after reading my stack, a lot of those issues just didn't seem to hit their mark... especially with Iron-man and X-Men. So when I picked up the first issue of Jed MacKay's new supernatural/superhero limited series, I was expecting something 'decent'. Boy... was I surprised! Comic Book of The Week: Blood Hunt #1 MacKay / Larraz / Garcia Back in 2019, DC Comics and Tom Taylor chronicled an invasion of vampires called plainly enough DC vs. Vampires. In 2024, Marvel Comics has a go at it, with the Jed MacKay writing, Blood Hunt. If there's anything you can say about Jed MacKay, it's that he knows how the hell to set off a comic event.

However, the culmination of the Orchis War, though promising, faltered at the finish line, leaving a sour taste with its lackluster conclusion that fizzled out like a spent firework. Yet, amid this disappointment, a beacon of hope emerged. My pick for the week shone as brightly as ever, maintaining its consistent quality and delivering the satisfaction I've come to expect. In the tapestry of comic book adventures, there are peaks and valleys, but there's always a silver lining, a story that captivates and keeps the spirit of excitement alive. Comic Book of The Week: Ultimate Spider-man #4 by Hickman / Messina / Wilson Oh, man. Every time a new issue of Ultimate Spider-Man comes out, I like to go back and read the earlier issues and just get lost in the world again. What makes this comic very satisfying is how Jonathan Hickman is pacing this volume the same way Brian Michael Bendis structured the start of his first volume Peter Parker, and Mile Morales Spider-man in the original Ultimate Universe. I don't know if this is…
