Blade Appreciation 2018

[Tracks]

I never got the appeal of the blades daughter thing.the entire idea seem like a low rent version of buffy the vampire slayer.besides blade
already has a son i would be more interested in that concept especially since blade baby mama was the queen of some superior/unique clan of vampires.it would be interesting to see how his son would turn out.since his father is the chosen and all that jive

I always wondered if that was going to be Seeley's reveal. Apparently the concept was that Fallon was going to be immediately more powerful than Blade (which rubbed me the wrong way), but it would make sense if it was the child from that other book.

I'm so angry right now, i could spit. i have no idea what i did or why the world is coming for me. but Marvel seems determined to work it's way through my favorite character's list and ruin them.

Night Thrasher (Squirrel Girl'd)
Nighthawk (killed in a poorly selling book so it's practically off-panel)
now Blade...

there are only so many black characters with potential.

Didn't Night Thrasher come back? What's happened to him this time?

Lmfao. In all seriousness I think if Blade were to get recasted I would like to see John Boyega in the role. It could be interesting to see a younger blade if done right.

Boyega doesn't have the right look. He's got a baby-face. Don't think people would bring him up as much if he weren't british.

Spirits of Vengeance with Blade is being written by Victor Gischler. Really didn't like how he wrote Blade in X-men, but have to give this a shot.

What was wrong with how he wrote Blade?

What was wrong with how he wrote Blade?

A bit too much of a comic relief character, that wasn't taken seriously in the context of the story. Pretty much had him run from every fight until the very end where he was put down by cyclops easily. of the past few guys who have "recently" written him at length (ewing, cornell, millar), I'd say Gischler was the worst. To be fair, it was an x-men book so he couldn't focus on Blade too much.

Considering he is a humorous crime fiction writer "comic relief character/Blade" should still be expected but maybe it will change this time around because he is not a cameo (?!) in another franchise.

Willing to give Gischler the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Blade. This book is different than his X-Men, so I'd assume he'd write the central characters with more substance.

Digging the attention Blade's getting lately.

Moreover, those series weren't meant to put over Blade, they were meant to put over Dracula with super hero fans/revamp Vampires in the MU.

True. I was also just hoping for a different book thematically. A lot of marvel's supernatural stuff seems more comedic these days, especially with deadpool being used to hold up a lot of those characters. I'd hope they'd model the tone more after Thor though. A bit more epic in its storytelling.
