Marvel's new Werewolf by Night has joined in the blood-soaked action of Blood Hunt. Unfortunately for him, Marvel's vampires have stolen away the source of his powers.

Werewolf by Night: Blood Hunt #1 opens to the sight of Jake Gomez riding his motorcycle across the Arizona desert and through the gates of a rundown, dinosaur-themed amusement park. Once the sun goes down, Jake's attempt to let the beast within him run free is interrupted by the arrival of a group of would-be Masters of the Mystic Arts. Worse still, none of them have any idea that a horde of vampiric sheriff's officers are about to crash both of their parties.

Introduced in the pages of 2020's Werewolf by Night #1 (by Taboo, Benjamin Earl, and Scot Eaton), Jake Gomez discovered early on in his teenage years that he had inherited his father's ability to transform into a werewolf at will. Soon enough, Jake also discovered that his community was being targeted by the malevolent corporate entity known as Life Pharmaceutical. In turn, Jake turned his attention toward their efforts and unleashed his bestial other upon his newfound enemies, very nearly at the expense of otherwise innocent lives. With the help of the dimensionally displaced Red Wolf, Jake learned to maintain control over his werewolf, at least for the most part.

Jake's career as a heroic Werewolf by Night follows in the footsteps of the original, Jack Russell, who made his comic book debut all the way back in 1972's Marvel Spotlight #2 in the story "Night of the Full Moon -- Night of Fear!" by writers Roy and Jean Thomas, Gerry Conway, and artist Mike Ploog. Plagued by a centuries-old family curse, Jack's first transformation came on the eve of his 18th birthday, setting off a horrifying chain of events that would alter the course of his life forever. Though Jack has played the role of a hero alongside the likes of Elsa Bloodstone and the Legion of Monsters, the highlights of his career only came after years of genuinely harrowing times.

Jack is set to take center stage in Marvel's upcoming Werewolf by Night: Red Band series from writer Jason Loo and artist Segio Dávila. The first issue, slated to hit stores on August 14, will pick up shortly after the events of Blood Hunt and find Jack caught between new enemies and old allies who he might not be able to trust. Loo confirmed that Werewolf by Night: Red Band will include members of one of Marvel's oldest and deadliest cults, stating that "One group happens to be the remnants of the Darkholders." Loo added, "Just a sad, lost bunch. And they will be joined by…someone that has a Marvel Legends action figure made of them."
