Awesome...I love that this series is pulling from all corners of the MU, not just Mutants, for a British team. If only we could get a little Union Jack...

The summary for #5 mentions Union Jack and my guess is that he'll turn up to fight Blade. My idea - Blade about to kill Joey's ex (Spitfire) AND is responsible for bringing every vampire back into existence? UJ's bound to have a problem with the guy. And this also means Baron Blood could turn up . . .

Loved the article. I adored the description of Blade being picked up by the RAF in New York and being attacked and shot at all the way across the pond.

I'm a HUGE Blade fan, so I'm happy that he will be joining MI-13.

Now if they can only retcon that crap about him being half white, I'll be even more happy. And before someone accuses me of being racist, I want to say that my problems with Blade being revealed as being half white has isn't because I'm racist against white people (I'm not), but has everything to do with me questioning Marvel's reasons for making one of the few black superhero characters (few, in comparison to the many white superhero characters out there) half white. I'm willing to bet that we would MOST LIKELY never see an established white character be revealed to being half black.

Good lord, you're so RACIST!

Kidding, I agree actually.

Love Blade glad to see him but I hoped they flushed that recon

Every vampire?

Even Bessie the Hellcow?

Every vampire?

Even Bessie the Hellcow?

One would only hope.

I was hoping he would ignore Guggenheim's misguided effort. There was way too much stupidity surrounding the whole thing.

Why has he still got a mechanical hand, I thought regeneration was incorporated into that retcon? Do we really need another black cyborg? (Misty, Cyborg, now War Machine and Blade)

I agree.

I also hate the other retcons Marc G made to Blade, like him always being half vampire and aging very slowly. I also hate that he had Blade, as a kid, kill a human he mistook as being a vampire, which was a total retcon of Blade's ability to sense vampires (and other mystical beings/creatures) as well as that solo Blade Story written by Claremont in MARVEL PREVIEW #4. In that story, it was established that Blade NEVER killed an innocent human being.

I don't know if I'd lump Misty as a cyborg. All she has is a robotic prosthetic.

Which makes her a cyborg.

For just an arm?

Deathlok, Victor Mancha, Lady Deathstrike, ROM, The Reavers, Donald Pierce, and Cable I can understand but all Misty has is a bionic arm.

Even Bessie the Hellcow?

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Doesn't matter. A bionic toe is enough to count. It's not how much of you is replaced by artificial parts, it's that any of you is replaced by artificial parts.
