Hey /co/
Never read blade before and did a look through the recommended reading lists and couldnt find anything. Was hoping you could provide some good reads or maybe there are other good vampire comics out there that I should read?
Seriously...none.
He's never had even a halfway decent run. His movie is his only decent solo outing.
>>84580351
So is he a shit character?
>>84579540
Wesley Snipes' criminal record
>>84580363
Not necessarily. He just has shit stories written about him.
>>84580363
Let's just call him underutilized instead.
If you want a good vampire comic, check out:
American Vampire by Scott Snyder (horror)
30 Days of Night by Steve Niles (horror)
Loaded Bible by Tim Seeley (comedy)
Is the new book released yet?
I wanna see Blade trying to teach, it'll be fun.

Thanks for the answers
>but those recs
I didn't asked for these but thank you (the latter quote) for giving a service to others.
>>84580455
>Is the new book released yet?
Still not yet.
>>84580478
Uh... the recommendations were to the OP, who said

The wait is unbareable.
Fuck.
Blade and Ghost Rider are seriously under-utilized and suffer from shit runs.
Great characters tho. Fortunately Blade got good flicks out of him compared to Ghosty
>>84580884
Someone should get them off of Marvel's hands.
>>84579540
That pic you posted is from the Al Ewing - Mighty Avengers run, which is fantastic. I highly recommend. Blade show sup later in the run.
>>84579540
The original Tomb of Dracula is probably your best bet, if you're okay with older comics.
Was there a Dead of Night centered around him? Those tend to be good.
>>84580455
it's basically canceled, if any work was done it would've been in their new teasers
>>84580921
Are you talking about the MAX thing? Because for those there was only Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, and Zombie
Play the Zen Pinball table.
Its fun.
>>84580968
Ah right. The Man-Thing one was quite good. Shame they didn't make one for Blade.
>>84580893
Its partially Marvels fault but its not like they aren't capable of good stories. They just need to find them the right writers.
I am more worried about Ghost Rider desu. There are already like 6 riders out there which just dilutes what makes him special.
Its like for every good story there are 10 bad ones featuring him.
>>84580455
Still in development hell
They got a new artist, and last time somebody asked Seeley a few weeks ago, he said they hoped that marvel would finally announce it
>>84579540
Isn't he pretty much a Nicki Minaj? You know, always showing up in OTHER people's shit, rarely doing his own stuff, and sucking when he does?
>>84584872
Nicki is only good by herself when she's weird and offensive to all things possible at once, basically exactly the opposite of Blade. My fav Blade outing is Cap Britian and MI 13
hey
what happened with femela blade that all new all marvel all now title?
There's a trade collection called Blade: Black & White and it's pretty cool, otherwise the only other series of his I read was the Guggenheim maxi-series.
I'd recommend the Marvel anthology series Vampire Tales, featuring Blade, Morbius, and a slew of others as well.
>>84580921
>>84580968
>>84581194
There actually is a Blade MAX, but I've never found it and can't vouch for its quality. Oddly, it was never released in trade format like the others in the line and the Blade II comic adaptation used a Blade MAX cover for it's cover art.
>>84586067
I was curious about that too. Maybe Marvel had a falling out with Seeley, since he's doing even more DC work now. They just announced he's doing a Lost Boys sequel comic for Vertigo.
