The press release follows:

Media Release -- BLOOD HUNT, the bloodiest event in Marvel Comics history, kicks off in May. Each issue of the main series, written by Jed MacKay and drawn by Pepe Larraz, will also be available as expanded and unexpurgated special RED BAND EDITIONS. Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those weak of heart from experiencing its intensity, the RED BAND EDITIONS will contain extra pages of vampiric violence and more graphic art too explicit for the regular edition. In addition, the RED BAND EDITIONS will have its' own special line of variant covers. Evoking the imagery of classic horror comics, the new BLOODY HOMAGE VARIANT COVERS give readers a terrifying hint of the savagery awaits readers in Marvel's first-ever venture into RED BAND storytelling.
