Satana is in issue two. What if it's Her and Angela?

DOOM’S OWN DEMIURGE!
The changeling creatures known as Vridai have lodged their fey claws into one of the most powerful men on Earth — Doctor Doom! And when Wiccan falls under their spell as well, the changelings have all the ingredients for a world-ending the likes of which you’ve never seen.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Well, that pretty much rules out any thoughts I had of an ancient enemy like the Dire Wraiths being the main baddies. Was hoping for the Wraiths to somehow be linked ultimately to Knull or Oblivion.
Winter Soldier's emblem as a fiery pentagram is interesting. Damian or Satana figure he'd need some type of mystical shielding?
And the more that I look at that cover, maybe Spider Woman could use a different costume?
All in all, can't wait.
So, if I had to guess, seems like a completely new group of enemies that will probably be retconned into Blade and Asgard's history is attempting to take over the realm and Blade pulled together a team to take them out. Seems like they have no problem possessing and taking over people which would explain why he wouldn't want the Avengers but it also seems like this team has plenty of powerful people for them to takeover as well.
Yeah but this team is probably better equiped to handle it
Sorrentino is killing me with these variants.

I think the MAIN reason he might not want to involve the Avengers (or other groups like say the FF) is probably because Blade feels they're going to need to end up killing a lot of people. And the Avengers generally shy away from that. It's the whole No Mercy No Compromise thing. Most of the people on this team are more willing to get their hands dirty than the average hero (though I wouldn't put Monica in that category).
Maybe the people possessed can't be fixed or whatever. Though presumably Doom and Wiccan at least will.
The more people that know ABOUT this entity Blade is after/fighting -- the more powerful that entity becomes. THAT'S why Blade is being cagey and why he's not involving many people. ;)

:cool:
so much for secret strike team
compromised in issue #1 lol
I have a feeling that might be how it starts but we're going to see how it gets to that point throughout the rest of the series.
Well they all still have plausible deniability. And if worse comes to shove Wiccan could mindwipe them I'm sure.

I was just going to edit my post to say that last bit.

Since they're already a group, I'm wagering that this scene will actually be occuring towards the middle or end of the story. We'll get this scene, then it'll cut away to how they got together and got into this mess in the first place.
