Résumé: The events from this issue are related to the Bloodlines crossover, during which an alien race of Parasites invaded Earth and inadvertently activated the metagene in a number of individuals, creating many "New Blood" superheroes in their attempts to feed on human spinal fluid. Each of the Bloodlines annuals for 1993 introduces a new super-hero character. This issue introduces the characters "Cardinal Sin" and "Samaritan".
