the whole cast of that event was weird (and glorious)

True that. At least he got some kind of respect. Most of the time, if he appears in an event/crossover, he's just that psycho guy who no one really likes. But this might be changing sooner than later. Honestly, I think they should just make him the Geralt/Witcher of the Marvel U. Hellstrom has far too much of a non-PC friendly name to be used prominently, so MK should be the MU's premier supernatural hero. Need a Werewolf killed? Call MK. Need a Witch cut into pieces? Call MK. Is a town infested with Zombies from Hell? Call MK. It'd certainly allow for him to be used more, and give Strange the chance to only deal with high-end threats, in order to avoide nerfing his power levels.

I agree with this 100%

Some might say that this robs Blade of his role but he can still hunt down Vampires. Just like Ghost Rider is mostly concerned with Demons. Just let MK be the all-around guy, like Constantine is for magic in the DCU. Sure, he's not the most powerful sorcerer in there, but he always has an ace up his sleeve and is well versed in a lot of different things/forms of magic. And, IMO, MK is a far superior character when compared to Blade. He's a cool character, but his characerization never moved from "bad-ass guy who does bad-ass things". MK's lore/history is far more compelling, especially with characters like Stained Glass Scarlet.

It's sad that we still haven't seen what Orb's been up to. Maybe Aaron'll add it in Doctor Strange? It seems like a good enough fit.

Its a big mystical world. You can have two character serve basically the same purpose.

Honestly, the Vampire world is huge as is. You've got English Vampires, Greek Vampires, American Vampires, different fractions, different POVs, lots can be done with just vampires. Blade's fine as is, but if they both started bhunting down werewolves and witches it'd get reppetitive. Let one handle one half and the other the other half. Honestly, I'd like to see Blade return in a "Tomb of Dracula" style of title. Have him travel the globe in search of dangerous vampire leaders and take them down one by own. Kinda like Devil May Cry. Whereas MK could have more of a pulpy, noir/detective feel.

It's certainly not everyday you get a Punisher/Dr. Strange team up. The cast of characters used was definately a draw for me.

Vampires get repetitive. Why limit either one. There are tons of mystical threats.
Blade can Mystical crime. Like say Vampires are running a human trafficking ring or werewolves are being used by Warlords to commit genocide on third world people.
Moon Knight is basically a mystical merc. You call him and he beheads that Siren rapist who is terrorizing your neighborhood.

Hmm, that does make sense. Honestly, what Blade needs is a new direction. The vampire-killing bad-azz guy has been done to death nowadays. Heck, most supernatural characters need some new directions, especially Ghost Rider. For him, their plans are:
1) Demon hunting!
2) New Rider!
What you need is to focus on one already existing rider and expand a bit on the demon hunting aspect. Also, streamline the orign, because that's more tangled than the Summers Family Tree...

That is something Remender would do. IDK if Aaron thinks that far ahead with stuff like that

[QUOTE=Ezyo1000;1584898][B]In terms of pure action, Yes, but Sturm Und Drang and Enemy of 2 are by far the best arcs from BP[/B]
[/QUOTE]
I need to go back and read priest's run again. Because, those 2 stories aren't even in my top 3 of BP stories
See Wakanda and Die
The Client
Enemy of the State
Kingpin of Wakanda
then probably enemy of the state 2 would round out top 5.
I read Priest's run pretty fast though and Hudlin's even faster (new comic book guy trying to "catch up") so, maybe i'll start reading through them again.

My top 5 stories:
-Sturm Und Drang
-Deadliest of The Species
-See Wakanda and Die
-Enemy of The State
-The Client
Haven't read Enemy of the State 2 or Kingpin of Wakanda yet. Heard Enemy of the State 2 was really good though (and some of the scans seem to confirm it).

DOTS happened to focus on 4 things I liked a lot about the BP mythos:
-Politics (both external and internal)
-The Storm and BP marriage
-Dynamic between the main supporting characters.
-Shuri
And the mysticism aspect of the story, and the story overall, was well-written, I felt.
