With its Blood Hunt crossover, Marvel Comics introduced a new concept in the world of comic book publishing; alternate versions of the “regular” edition of the comic book, but with more violence in them, making them effectively “R-Rated” variations of a regular comic book story. Dubbed “Red Band” variants, these copies were exclusive to the print edition of Blood Hunt, and as it turned out, Marvel’s bet on these new types of comic books paid off, as all five issues of Blood Hunt with “Red Band” variants are going back to print.
All five of the second print covers feature “bloody” versions of the original Blood Hunt covers by superstar artists Pepe Larrraz and Marte Gracia, and they will all be released into comic book stores on August 28th.
This is why these comics are shipped polybagged, both because Marvel wouldn’t want an unsuspecting reader to browse through the comic and become exposed to R-rated content, but also so that if you WERE curious about these alternate pages, you would be able to spoil them for yourselves. That’s why these alternate pages are exclusive to the PRINT editions of Blood Hunt. It is meant as a nice extra sales boon for comic book retailers.
