Book of the Week – Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt #1 (Review score: 33 Points; 4 Characters). You cannot have a vampire-centric event and not include Morbius the Living Vampire. The tie-in book has four Team-Ups, two Save Civilians, and four Defeats Antagonists for the four characters featured in the title.
Hero of the Week – Venom/Eddie Brock (Review score: 18 Points/1 Appearance; 18.0 Pts/App). Venom features in the latest retro title, this one by Venom cocreator David Michelinie.
