Ask Chris #77: The Greatest Comic Book Monster Hunter Ever

By Chris Sims

Normally, ComicsAlliance Senior Writer Chris Sims answers comics and comics culture questions from our readers every week, but as Halloween approaches, things are about to get terrifying! This month, Chris answers your spoooooooky questions… from beyond the grave!

Q: Who are the best monster hunters and how would they be rated on the Vanhelsing-o-meter for deadliness? — @iheartkungfu

A: I hate to nitpick, but really, I don’t know what today’s younger crop of Monster Hunting Scholars see in the Vanhelsingomter. Despite varied opinions even among experts on whether a Simon outranks a Richter, I’ll go with the Belmont Scale any day of the week.

For my money, though, there’s one other monster hunter in comics that’s better than all of ‘em: Elsa Bloodstone.

Elsa Bloodstone is, without question, one of the most underused Marvel characters of the 21st century, although her current appearances in the seasonally spooky Legion of Monsters mini-series are a nice step forward towards solving that problem. But I’ve loved her since day one, because honestly: She’s a sexy lady with an English accent who is also the daughter of an immortal barbarian, and whose entire purpose in life is fighting monsters by making them explode. What’s not to like?
