“You break the rules and become a hero,” Wanda Maximoff tells Stephen Strange at the start of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. “I do it and I become the enemy… doesn’t seem fair.”
That line from should confuse some viewers. After all, such rule breaking didn’t occur in 2016’s Doctor Strange, to which Multiverse of Madness is a sequel. It happened in Avengers: Infinity War. And Wanda’s rule-breaking happened in WandaVision. During the drive to Avengers: Endgame, this type of comprehensive world-building was a feature and not a bug of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it’s become a distraction for some fans, which is why Marvel has rebranded its divisions, into Marvel Film, Marvel Television, and Marvel Animation.

One of the joys of being a long-time comics reader is coming across ideas that are equal degrees clever and obvious. It’s safe to say Jed MacKay’s idea to pit Moon Knight, the avatar of an Egyptian god, against a vampire pyramid scheme is one of those.
We saw Marc Spector and his gang of misfits from the Midnight Mission take on an Instagram influencer-esque vampire (peddling eternal undeath instead of essential oils) making a play for control of New York at night, and it was great fun. Turns out, though, that it was also the start of something very big. “As I was doing that, I’m like, ‘well, this could be bigger,’” MacKay tells Den of Geek. “So we do dispense with it in Moon Knight,...

In the first issue of Marvel Comics' latest event series, Blood Hunt, superhumans with a connection to the Darkforce Dimension simultaneously lost control of their powers.
The eruption blacked out the sun, creating an eternal night which allowed vampires everywhere to launch a coordinated attack against humanity. Earth's Mightiest Heroes did their best to protect the innocent and control the chaos, only for The Avengers to be tricked into allowing the Bloodcoven, a group of super-powered vampires, into their headquarters.
Fleeing, The Avengers were forced to leave a badly injured Thor, Black Panther and the Scarlet Witch in the hands of their new enemies. Blade, the vampire hunter, met with Doctor Strange and Clea at the Sanctum Sanctorum, revealing that he is the mastermind behind the vampire invasion...and mortally wounding the Sorcerer Supreme.
It was one hell of a cliffhanger to leave things on and Blade's villainous turn has...

Following her scene-stealing role in the X-Men '97 finale, there's been a hurricane of Storm announcements this week. Not only is the stalwart X-Man leader joining the cast of writer Jed MacKay and new series artist Valerio Schiti's Avengers this August, but she'll also headline her own solo ongoing series in October.
She's Earth's Mightiest Mutant, and both titles will showcase her soaring to Omega-level heights. Today, you can check out some all-new variant covers for the issue where she's recruited by her fellow heroes: Avengers #17.
Among the new covers is one that pays homage to Avengers #144 by Luciano Vecchio and a gorgeous pinup piece by Pablo Villalobos, both of which spotlight her new costume. In addition, artist Sam de la Rosa depicts Storm's ex-husband, Black Panther, whom she'll now stand alongside once more as teammates.

Marvel Comics has announced that Storm is set to become Earth's Mightiest Mutant in the pages of Avengers #17 this August. Ororo Munroe will join the team in Jed MacKay's current run of the series, with artist Valerio Schiti, fresh off his bold work on G.O.D.S., also joining the title.
Krakoa's tragic fall has made the Avengers realize how vital a mutant voice on the team is, and they'll settle for nothing less than the most prominent and beloved mutant superhero on the planet. A pop culture icon, Storm has assembled with the Avengers before - in both comics as well as other forms of media - but never like this.
Not only will the Avengers need her Omega-level power for the battles ahead, but they'll rely on her unique expertise and leadership skills as MacKay's overarching plots involving Kang, the Twilight Court, and more kick into high gear.

Marvel Comics released the first issue of Blood Hunt last Wednesday, with the event's opening chapter revealing how the vampire invasion of Earth begins.
With the world's Darkforce users being turned into portals which have blocked out the sun across the globe, vampires emerge from the shadows, feeding on humans and turning countless others.
The Avengers also found themselves outmatched and outgunned, with Black Panther and Thor both killed in a battle with a group of ultra-vampires known as the Bloodcoven.
In the issue's closing moments, Doctor Strange discovers a spell which will kill every vampire on Earth. It means eliminating some of his friends, but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make if it saves the planet.
Blade shows up and recaps what's happened, including the fact a vampire cult known as "The Structure" has enacted a plan which will allow them to finally make the world their own.

One year after leaving Early Access, developer Sharkmob has announced that development has ended on their free-to-play battle royale game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt. Active players won’t need to worry, however, as the game will stay up and remain available to play for the foreseeable future.
“Ever since launch, we have been on a journey to excite and delight our players, however, while we have an amazing and very engaged community, we haven’t been able to reach the critical mass needed to sustain development. This has led us to the decision to stop further development of Bloodhunt.”
Sharkmob’s current goal is to keep the servers going “for as long as we have an active player base and community.” Despite ceasing development, the team has come up with a few ideas to keep players interested. One is the implementation of an in-game player voting system that will regularly...
