I find it stupidly, darkly funny that vampires had an easier time (relatively) getting a sovereign nation and protection easier than mutants. Just saying.

I love it when characters channel their inner black air force energy. Honestly I don't think anyone will beat Uranos in this aspect.

I mean, Dracula also did a good job of getting Blade to question his identity and showing his need to respect/appreciate his vampire heritage. Which I get, since that’s also a crucial part of what’s made Blade who he is and it’s not automatically evil and Blade’s shown seemingly shown no appreciation or respect for it.

We gon overlook Dr. Doom having a barrier over an entire COUNTRY

Blade series with the Adona and all the evil he was doing finally caught up

Blade fan since 1998, and I want the world to witness how much of a threat Blade can be to an entire planet if he ever became a villain! The rise of the Daystalker!

Now I really regret taking a few months off reading Avengers (Jed McKay has grown on me a lot). I have no idea whats going on beyond the really great Avengers line up. Also...Tigra! low key one of my favorite Avengers.

Oh no he has black air forces on, RUN!

Since all the Dark Force wielding characters were affected, there was no sight of Black Mamba of The Serpent Society (now known as Serpent Solutions) (Black Mamba can manifest the Dark Force in the form of a loved one of the person she is fighting against {ie if she is fighting Havok she can manipulate the Dark Force to take the form of Polaris or Madeleine Pryor, and then said Dark Force constricts the person)

Man, if you think the last page of this issue was messed up you should see the last page of the Red Band version of this issue. 😨

It's a clone(has to be) Deacon Frost tried to clone Blade for year's with Hannibal King help but clones sometimes just didn't work or came out as natural Full Vampires but that plot is from the 1980's I think

And then the next Blade series will quickly forget that he ever had a dark turn and quickly make him heroic again with zero attempts at seeking redemption or forgiveness It's happened before (Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch, Bishop, etc)

oh good someone else remembers blade going nuts in the 90's , but with the epoch and atlantean referances it brings to mind another 90's incident the resurection of Varnae by doctor strange who then manipluted the mentally unstable blade and the other Nightstalkers into fighting him as Strange was to scared to do it himself, that stab in the back could be payback from either or both of them

Also have to take the Darkhold Defiled Blade story into consideration.

You know what's crazy? Remember the Darkhold comics? With Iron Man, Spider-man, Black Bolt, Blade and Wasp? This has the makings of Darkhold Blade taking over the world. Also if Blade's most recent adventure with the powers he learned how to use from Dracula? It feels like a great way to write him as a villain

Archangel would mop up characters in an event like this, no matter which side he was on. Warren Worthington the 3rd is almost back. Vastly underrated powerset

We knew something was going to happen after the whole Adana situation! I sincerely hope they don’t de-power him after this arc !!!!

I find amusing that Blade's father is latverian and a vampire to boot.

Bloodstorm One looks badass

What I also found wild is that Blade considers Wanda wouldn't have it in her to go genocidal on the vampires but Strange would... despite Wanda being the one who hit the "No more mutants!" in G major.

I don't think it's our Blade. Probably a Blade from another reality or just someone that looks like Blade to trick everyone else.

it kinda seems like this event will be mostly focused on the characters that mackay has been writing; the avengers, the midnight mission and the sanctum, which i’m very much here for

Man , I had to put my pitch fork back above the fireplace 🎉😅

Vampires can have a Krakoa but not mutants bet!

Great vid Blerd! 👍🏿

So they can cure jubilees vampirism

Where are the Sentinals and Ultron to save the marvel unuverse?? Just assemble all the fire users like the Human Torch, Sunspot, Firestar, etc to light the Marvel universe Darkest hour...

Awesome review blade is going to going to go full savage in this I love it

This thumbnail is brilliant

Bro.... I'm Team Blade. BLOOD 😂😂😂😂

So, with this being just issue #1 I don't read too much into Blade's seeming villainy (plus his comments to Miles makes me believe there is something else being stealthily achieved while Blade "plays" the villain). He may simply need to stall Strange and Wanda right now and still not truly be behind this event fully. That said, IF he is off his rocker, I hope one or more of those reasons actually apply (e.g., Adanna corruption, Vlad's blood corruption, possession by Victor Strange who recently got free of Stephen's seal), because the "Well, I had good reasons to do this bad thing, but I'm good again now." feels lame when we look back at how many lives lost a stint at villainy adds up to, just for the hero turned villain to just turn right back around and play Avenger again 3 months later.

T'Challa and Wakanda would not be vulnerable to vampires. The first and mightiest vampires, plus many versions of vampires that have different powers which are the first of these superpowered type vampires we see in Blood Coven Blood Hunt etc were in Alkebulan miscalled Africa first. As such? Wakanda would have long been the first human nation aware of and proof against vampires, zombies, werewolves etc before any other hunan nation. Long before Isipho miscalled Vibranium became their thing, Wakanda would have made their land a place that zero supernatural, and most Interdimensional or cosmic, threats could enter. That's also a good reason for and explanation of The Marvel Zombies not being able to overtake Wakanda. Furthermore, Black Panthers' habit/uniform, and every member of The Panther Religion including the higher ranking literal Order of The Panther God which includes but isn't limited to: Ingwe Emhlophe, Silver Leopard miscalled White Tiger [ really stupid of them to use that name for Casper Cole because there are no Tigers in Alkebulan miscalled Africa; his title and rank should be Silver Leopard ], Ingwenkala Ibomvu [ Red Cheetah ], Isipho seNgonyama [ Lion's Gift/Golden Lion ], and of course Damisa Sarka...The Black Panther. All of these members have powerful protections of every kind. Proof against possession, mind reading, spiritual compulsion/domination, being "turned" by any supernatural power, etc. Sekhmet, Bast, Koy Bomba, and all the other "feline" type gods of Alkebulan hunt and kill supernatural threats as part of their whole "thing" for existence. Khonshu was known to aid in this, as "travelers by night" were often beset by supernatural terrors. And that's BEFORE you get to the hundreds of wild powerful sorcerers, wizards n stuff led by Mendinao, Zawaviri, etc. Myself? I'd rather see The Panther Order upper echelons dominated by the red black green and gold of Zote Alkebulan miscalled Pan African thought, but that's me. And maybe it IS. Remember these parts of Panther lore have never been explored, explained, modernized and rectified. Sure wish Marvel would get an actually GOOD writer on BP. Like Geoffrey aka Redjack. Allllllll of their writers SUCKED since Hudlin and Liss left. Coates and his crew? Were the ABSOLUTE WORST things to happen to T'Challa EVER. I'll prolly write a fanfic about The Order of The Panther God... ...regardless? My manz Jed MacKay n Co are playin T'Challa WEAK on this. And that's a shame because a truly formidable max'd out showing by the heroes make the villains way more formidable if they're winning anyway. Thor's Mjolnir is also a divine holy weapon capable of utterly destroying the body and soul of Dracula with one hit, as their battle and discussion in Thor's series in the 1980's made clear. Thor could have Holy Lightning Stormed the lot of The Blood Coven...or at least tried and have it signally fail, to the surprise of all, thus making The Blood Coven even scarier. You know who else would be CRAZY EFFECTIVE against these threats? His main bag of gitdown, even more than Clea or Strange? Nganga Vodun miscalled Doctor Voodoo. He'd be pimp slappin the teeth outta all these vampires.

I totally loved this new series. Even got cool teeth that came with my red band edition. And for the record we need more Hellraiser in any form more and more and more. Also the d6 damage line. Omg soooo great. Your the best man. Hahahaha. Loving this. Hoping he brings back moon knight so bad. His series is my favorite run of any comics. Just here for it ALL!!

I thought Iron Man's Mysterium armor can't be affected by magic

Whatever Blade’s plan is I feel Miles is important in some shape with Miles being on the cover of issue 3 as well as going on Miles’ own book

I figured what was going on when you had the all black Nike’s on the thumbnail

Great video. I am going to let them cook and I want to see where this will go

I did love No Road Home and No Surrender

Blade is possessed by Varnae

This is giving the vibes of "King Booker" and "Silverback" Mark Henry... Power up/Push to Heel Turn... The former 2 ended with them just getting some(GWH) over.... Hopefully blade is who blade "puts over".

I think I'm one of the few that think them not letting mutants have a home home makes comic sense. If there is a possibility that their fight is supposed to mirror the fight for civil rights then they won't have the same privileges.

When I saw that ending I had to see what you had to say

More evolutions than Eevee and makes it look easy. Nice line! 😅

I think it's a clone, but what if Blade is attempting to turn any heroes he can in an attempt to keep them in the game? I'm not sure how exactly vampirism works in Marvel, but does the whole "head vampire" thing apply? Like anyone Blade turns would essentially report and rely on him?

Yall better put some respect on the low black air forces dammit

In what world or time line does this take place 🤔

MF Doom

The only one that doesn't make sense is Thor. Dude fought Gorr The God Butcher but gets sleepy against vampires? Nah.

Blood Hunt!!!

Is this Marvel's version of DC vs. Vampires?

I don’t have feelings yet about it I’m letting it cook with an eyebrow raised up

Gotta say, I'm not feeling this story so far......I hope there's some greater scheme at play that will pay off in the Long run, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing 😩

So does this mean blade is gonna lose in his story rn. So he lost and got taken over. Is that what this story is saying?

This first issue is 🔥... i like that the Avengers got slaughtered, sam is going to be a key factor in this story & the twist at the end with Blade being the "villain" of this story..specially after the shit he went through in his solo series

Would the vampires be accepting of blade after his years of killing them? Maybe it’s a shapeshifter.

Where's Cloak at ?!

Sooooo the vampires can have a sovereign nation, but mutants can't. Oh ok

I wonder if what happened VERY early in the Krakoa Era will come into play with Wolverine's blood🤔

Wasn't blackout killed during secret empire by Maria Hill?

Nope. Still angry about it! =)

Not the black Airforces

Can they turn Vision??…:

Blade 🩸🩸

So you don't usually agree with people changing things because in this way but people are bad because of a other

im keep following this but to make blade evil again. to clich'e

This rap beef for me behind on the things that really matter my b

Vampires get their own nation, no problem, mutants get their own nation huge problem

Humanity CANNOT let the mutants breath easy for a second and attack 2 peaceful mutant nations, but Vampires....eff it, ya'll good. Welcome to NATO.

Why would they do this?? Promoting his daughter or..... ? Is this lowkey confirmation that they dot want to do the Blade movie?

...i was pleasantly surprised at how good BH #1 is.. but i can't follow the whole series!

Dc deceas😮

Turn into bat, wolf and mist? Okay. Copying SOTN is going too far...

Black Panther, Miles Morales and Doc Strange will be turned....Spoiler Alert!😉😉 I wonder if "The Unforgiven " will make an appearance in this saga. That'd be awesome.
