A Protein Drink
The Marvel Blood Hunt Sale runs through Monday, 4/14.
Yes, that would be last year’s big Vampires take over Event. Indeed, there are all sorts of vampire titles in this sale if you want to have a browse.
For the actual event, we’d point you at:
- Blood Hunt – Jed MacKay / Pepe Larraz; The actual Event miniseries
- Avengers By Jed Mackay Vol. 3: Blood Hunt – Jed MacKay / C.F. Villa
- Doctor Strange By Jed Mackay Vol. 3: Blood Hunt – Jed MacKay / Pasqual Ferry
There are more tie-ins, but that should get you the core. We’re a little puzzled they didn’t include Moon Knight, which was setting up elements of this for a LONG time, or the more recent Bryan Hill Blade series in the sale.
For the other vampire titles, the cream of the crop are:
- Tomb of Dracula (’72-’79) – Marv Wolfman / Gene Colan
- Tomb Of Dracula: Day Of Blood, Night Of Redemption (’91-’92) – Marv Wolfman / Gene Colan
- Greenberg the Vampire – J.M. DeMatteis / Steve Leialoha / Mark Badger
Tomb of Dracula was one of the high water marks for horror titles in the ’70s and the longest running of the set that also included Man-Thing and Swamp Thing.
Greenberg falls into the category of “and now for something completely different…”
Groot? Groot Groot.
The Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Legacy Sale runs through Monday, 4/14.
Let’s break this into incarnations.
Original Guardians of the Galaxy
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrow’s Avengers – First volume is the original appearance through their Marvel Presents solo run; Second volume is 70s guest star appearances, particularly in Avengers.
- Guardians of the Galaxy (’90-’95) – Best known for the very fun Jim Valentino run (i.e. the first 3 volumes here); This is strangely not included in the sale, but we list it for the sake of completeness… and because we liked the Valentino run
New GoG (The DnA cast or movie version if you must)
- Guardians of the Galaxy by Abnett & Lanning: The Complete Collection – written by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning / art by Brad Walker, Paul Pelletier and others. This is where the “movie” team in the current timeline was formed. Also known as the “Annihilation” team.
- Speaking of Annihilation…
- Guardians of the Galaxy by Brian Michael Bendis – Bendis and so. many. artists.
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Mother Entropy (’17) – Jim Starlin / Alan Davis
- All-New Guardians of the Galaxy (’17-’18) – Gerry Duggan / Aaron Kuder
- Guardians of the Galaxy by Donny Cates (’19) – Donny Cates/Geoff Shaw
- Guardians of the Galaxy by Al Ewing (’20- ’21) – Al Ewing / Juan Cabal
- Guardians of the Galaxy (’23) – Collin Kelly / Jackson Lanzing / Kev Walker.
What’s good here? Well, we’ve always liked the original. Particularly the Steve Gerber bits. We also loved the recent Al Ewing / Juan Cabal run. And if you like the current incarnation, you should probably go back to the source with the DnA run. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t point out that Kev Walker did an amazing job on the art with the most recent run.
No Love for the Dinosaur?
The Marvel Moon Girl Sale runs though Monday, 4/7.
Oh, no! Devil Dinosaur got cancelled right out of the sale’s name!
This is a lower volume sale than others and simple to handle:
These larger page count editions of the Amy Reeder / Brandon Montclare / Natacha Bustos main series are the better buy.
Moon Girl: Endangered Species is a collection of team-up issues outside the main title.
Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur: Menace On Wheels is the ’22-23 series from Jordan Ifueko & Alba Glez
Something in Parabellum?

The Caliber Comics Library 50% off Spring Sale runs through Wednesday, 4/30.
There are a few titles here that were notable in the ’80s indie boom.
- Deadworld by Stuart Kerr, Vince Locke, Gary Reed and Dan Day (among others)
- The Realm by Ralph Griffith / Stuart Kerr / Guy Davis
- Jazz Age Chronicles – Ted Slampyak
And plenty of Don Lomax war comics.
But if you want something a little more recent, Ageless might be of interest. It’s written by Torunn GrØnbekk, who’s been recently been writing Venom, with art by San Espina.
