By now, readers have had the chance to fully sink their teeth into BLOOD HUNT! The bloodiest crossover event in Marvel history is packed with exciting tie-ins including BLOOD HUNTERS, a four-issue tie-in anthology series that brings together an eclectic group of heroes to face the vampire invasion that’s spread to every corner of the Marvel Universe. Written by Erica Schultz and drawn by Bernard Chang, BLOOD HUNTERS #1 quickly scored a Second Printing, and in August, the new team will headline their own follow-up five-issue BLOOD HUNTERS limited series written by Schultz and artist Robert Gill!
Led by Dagger, BLOOD HUNTERS will include three other beloved heroines, each of whom have risen to icon status in recent years: expert monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone, deadly spy White Widow, and new Spider-Man baddie Hallows’ Eve! The eternal night might come to an end, but the hunt is just beginning. The vampiric hordes need to be dealt with more than ever, especially the newly turned…
Marvel’s newest team takes to the streets to clean up the aftermath of BLOOD HUNT – namely, hunting down the remaining vampires who threaten to spill innocent blood, including the deadly super-vamps known as the BLOODCOVEN! But when Miles Morales, A.K.A. Spider-Man, gets caught in the crosshairs…need we say it?! THERE WILL BE BLOOD!
“It’s very exciting to work on BLOOD HUNTERS with Robert Gill and Rain Beredo,” Schultz shared. “The team Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo, Joe Caramagna, and I put together in the BLOOD HUNTERS anthology series was just too good not to keep around. There's action, bickering, and more coming your way!

I remember the first time I saw Land's work, in the "crossover" storyline from Ultimate FF. I was completely blown away, and was like "who is this guy!?!" Just completely impressed by the, for lack of a better term, photo-realism of the art. Nowadays I can't even stand to look at his work knowing that it's all just traced, hyper-recycled nonsense, but that blank slate first impression will always stick with me. It's one of those select comics that I'll always remember exactly where I was when I read it, to convey the impact it had. I think every comic reader has at least a handful of those.

I'm gonna have to hard press X to doubt on that one.
Land's compositions can get pretty bad, the bodies of the characters he draws can come across as stilted mannequins, most of his faces have an uncanny valley factor to them regardless of being traced or not, and everything has this waxy texture to it. Characters' facial expressions rarely correspond to the emotions they transmit via dialogue, not to mention he almost always defaults to squinted eyes and either a smile or gritted teeth. And what's worse is that the smiles he draws always feel unnatural. W

He's one of those guys you love to hate but his art is good whether it's framework is traced or not. Plus the fact that he's able to stay on schedule is the reason he keeps getting work.
As far as him being a Hack. Yeah maybe. But in a world where probably 90 percent of the writers are hacks you have to figure that trait will also filter down to some of the artists.
I love all of these ladies. Little unfamiliar with Hallow's Eve but I've heard good things and I like her concept. But as usual whether this book is any good will mostly depend on the writing. It looks like it might be worth giving a shot.
