Blade Appreciation

[SilverZeal]

Does anyone else feel like they are missing a trick by not putting out a midnight sons book?

Agreed & co-signd 100%.

[SilverZeal]

They did do a sort of midnight sons tease in Marvel Zombies.

So in the least we know a variation of the team can be called together if some sort of mystical emergency warrented it. That's something at least.

Did dat "tease" include Blade?

I'd like to get that Blade vs Wolverine one-shot out. I bet it would sell alot of copies.

emailed guggenheim again about the one-shot:

I've been talking about with Marvel very recently, actually. David is virtually finished with the art -- which looks spectacular. I'm glad to hear there's still interest in it. Fingers crossed that we see it very soon!

Best,
Marc

No, that version of the Sons had Morbious, Werewolf by Night, Hellstrom, Jennifer Kale, and Man-Thing.

I think around that time, Blade was across the pond in Mi-13.

dunno how I feel about Gischler's Blade, but I do like his other vampire stories sO i would definitely give him another chance:
1) Your run on "X-Men" will definitely be remembered for their interaction with the vampire world. I really liked what you did, but it felt like you had more plans in that area and it got cut short. Were there other mutant-vampire adventures to come, or is this just wishful thinking on my part?

I wouldn't say I got cut short, Ramelito. Nothing lasts forever and the X-office told me well ahead of time when I would be wrapping my run, so everything I was supposed to do got done. Having said that, I do have a cool Dracula idea rattling around in my head -- one which brings back Blade for an appearance. So, who can say?

Would anyone mind giving me a quick critique/synopsis of the short-lived 1994-1995 Blade series? I'm trying to fill out my Midnight Sons collection and this was one of the books I skipped on back in the day, then never got around to picking up the back issues. Now, they're kind of hard to find, and not exactly cheap!

My apologies if that books been discussed elsewhere in the thread. I read the first and last 10 pages. Don't quite have enough time for all 242...

I try to vary the wording of the question because I've noticed he doesn't answer if you phrase it the same way over and over again.

Andy Diggle...he straight up said he wanted to write a Blade solo.

Gischler is probably the worst writer for any vampire stuff I've seen to date.

His take on Blade has been craptastic.

Arrg that hurts. Diggle would have been a great.

Thought I would share my favourite image of Blade.

I went to a restaurant in my town and saw that they had drinks named after heroes, I know people always wonder which heroes are most popular to the general public so I took a look. It went:
Superman
Batman
Flash
Ironman
Aquaman
Green Lantern
Spiderman
Silver Surfer
Captain America
Thor
Punisher
Wonder Woman
Gambit
Daredevil
Wolverine
and at the bottom:
Blade

It was nice to see that Blade is still one of the most recognizable comic heroes.
