After a cameo in Tomb of Dracula #1, we’re able to get down with a proper first appearance of Blade in this issue. I definitely dig this cat more than todays daywalker. How tight is it that a Black man can run around, just killin’ vampires and the first time we truly see him, he goes head up with Dracula himself! For what this issue cost to include in my Dark Stars collection, there could have been more…this is not a Blade origin issue.
