Knowledge Waits is a feature where I just share some bit of comic book history that interests me. Today, I explain the differences between the regular edition of the Blood Hunt crossover and the “Red Band” version of the series.Last year, Marvel did a major crossover event called Blood Hunt. Written by Jed MacKay, drawn by Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia, with letters by Cory Petit, the story involved a vampire invasion of Earth. Through the use of Darkforce, Varnae, the first vampire, possesses Blade, and effectively conquers the planet, killing many people, and turning a number of characters into vampires.In any event, part of Marvel’s approach for this series was to release alternate versions of each issue as a “Red Band” edition. The “Red Band” editions were not available digitally, online in comic book stores (or in the collected print edition), and they were polybagged, since they contained extra gore in each issue. Now that we’re a year removed from the event, I thought it would be fun to let you know the differences in each issue between the regular edition and the “Red Band” edition (the “Red Band” editions often had EXTRA story pages, even).
