The Blurb: Collects Midnight Sons: Blood Hunt #1-3 and Werewolf By Night: Blood Hunt #1.
The return of the original Midnight Sons! The uneasy alliance of supernatural adventurers once known as the Midnight Sons must band together once again to deal with the vampire threat unleashed in BLOOD HUNT! They have two Ghost Riders among their ranks, but even so they'll have a hard time trying to defeat one of their own! Plus: As BLOOD HUNT shatters lives and wreaks untold havoc across the Marvel Universe, one of those affected in a most unexpected way will be Jake Gomez, the Werewolf by Night! Imbued with new abilities, a new look and a dangerous new direction, this Werewolf by Night is unlike any you've seen or known before!
The review: Another collection from the Blood Hunt crossover this has a three-issue story of the Midnight Sons, in this incarnation made up of two Ghost Riders, Tulip Hamato and Victoria Montesi – who we see summon Lilith as part of this. Of course, Blade is meant to be in the Midnight Sons, but they end up hunting him as he is the event’s big bad. At the head of the story we see, before sundeath, Blade take out his squad of vampire hunters through duplicity but we also see him shed a tear as the possessed dhampir fights against the control of Varnae. The Midnight Sons detour from their hunting of Blade to follow a vision that comes to each of them, depicting a hospital where they must defeat a demon that has taken hold.
The fourth issue is a Werewolf by Night one-shot that sees Jake Gomez tackling a would-be-demon who has possessed a young man, with vampires being thrown in the mix and some trouble transforming when sundeath also darkens the moon.
The Midnight Sons story is tight and works really well within the margins of Blood Hunt and the Werewolf by Night is even more self-contained and is also very neat. I particularly liked the coda to Midnight Sons, which jumped forward, past the event. 7 out of 10.
