Blade Appreciation

[Monty_Cristo]

Hmm. All three of it can work!

Now, love interest! We have to make sure it's not a black woman because then the readers will scream that it's forced!

screw that. Blade will have a black woman. several of them. and plenty of other beautiful intelligent women. or a guy if he so chooses. but Blade's married to the job. he doesn't have time for another commitment. besides he's immortal. anyways, i would suggest a short fling w/ Misty Knight since she came close to dating a vampire once. or they could make that doctor from the first movie a comic book character.

Exactly. Vampires should be the only thing Blade sticks it to every night.

Alright, so make a vampire love interest! Just have Blade seduce them James Bond style and kill them in the point of orgasm! It's bound to rise up sales!

maybe a villainess could have a crush on Blade. it seems to have worked for Daredevil over the years. there also needs to be a moral dilemma villain; someone who Blade has to kill but his heart isn't necessarily in it to do so.

Damn, that'll be really hard as Blade just kills off his villains.Damn, I'm lost.

Blade creative team, eh? Ideally, David Goyer and/or Geoff Johns with any decent artist will be a creative and commercial success.

speaking of Wolverine. he has a vampire in his rogues gallery (long white hair & shades). maybe he could jump ship.

Bloodscream should be a Blade bad guy, that would be cool. I think Marvel killed him off in an issue of IRON MAN: DIRECTOR OF S.H.I.E.L.D. but I could be wrong.

It actually happened in the last Blade series, issue 4.

Heh heh, yeah, I remember that. That was quite some interesting dialogue between them too, they could have lasted a few issues.

[Xero]

Well, he does know how to draw a rockin' good lookin brutha!

I'd agree with you, if that wasn't a swipe of David Boreanz as Angel.

...I must say, good brutha... I don't see it...

The only version of Blade that I know is the movie version. So if that were to be translated into a comic, I'd be interested.

Problem is, the Guggenheim Blade comic had an artist whose style clashed so badly with what I perceive to be a Blade comic's feel (slick), I couldn't get into it.

I think that was most people's problem with the book, the art just didn't fit

speaking of Wolverine. he has a vampire in his rogues gallery (long white hair & shades). maybe he could jump ship. or they could unearth Cyber again.

That would be Bloodscream



He's not a traditional vampire, but he has vampire like attributes and i'm sure it'd be fun to see Blade go after him

As for a love interest what about Saffron? She's his old love interest from ToD and such. I don't think readers, just like Blade, will care what color his love interest is as long as it's well written and not forced like the godawful Black Panther/Storm union

Heh heh, yeeeaaah, I would suggest we not get into that since a lot of us here actually like the marriage.

To be honest I have nothing against the marriage, just the way it was handled, especially by Mr Huddlin, whom i have nothing but dislike for considering his attituted toward anyone that doesn't agree with him (see people who critiqued his Black Panther, B.E.T. or Aaron McGruder)

I agree that I felt the handling of the marriage I didn't like either. I thought it was written very poorly. But now that the marriage is here, I really like the two of them together and hope they stay. There's potential.

I like Blade, but I don't think he's had a good comic book in some time now. :(
