maybe to a degree.
One disconnect I had with the series was Guggenheim's view and tone of Blade. One the surface it seemed perfectly fine, but as the series went on it felt more like OG Blade then the modern Blade storngly influenced by the movies. The clothing was alright. You didn't really get the sense Blade was superhuman unlike we do in most other stories in the last 10 years, outside of him biting his hand off (which should have been much cooler then it ended up being) and ripping off that immortal vampires head. That run started off pretty decently, saving Spider-Man and killing Dracula. Guggenheim had two new creative villains (Santa and the Priest).
Other then that tho I wasn't really feeling the run. The Blade vs Wolverine fight was incredibly anti-climactic. Then the introduction of Blade's father and everything else was kind of random and boring. Some of Guggenheim's ideas were decent, but the execution was lacking. I cna think back on 4 to 5 story elements that actually sound really cool, but the way they ended up was underwhelming.You can put that on the artist if you want and maybe some of it was just that, but I cna't put 100% of it on the art
