Eric Brooks has been having a tough go of things in recent Marvel Comics days. Thanks to the events of Marvel’s Blood Hunt, Blade has found himself shunning society thanks to being possessed by the first vampire, Varnae. While Marvel’s most popular vampire hunter was able to escape the crossover without shedding this mortal coil, Blade finds his life at an impasse as he attempts to figure out what to do next.
The big “hook” of the first issue is in its cliffhanger, presenting a vampire lord that is also apparently a “Van Helsing”. Merging the two eternal enemies into one has some story potential, along with the ravages left behind by “Father Pontius”. There are some interesting foils for Blade here and his struggle with his own anger, I just once again wish that this new mini-series focused a little more on the fallout from Blood Hunt and Blade’s place in the Marvel Universe as a result.
This isn’t to say that the issue is an entirely mediocre one as it still does some worthwhile digging into Blade’s character here. Bryan Edward Hill clearly had some ideas for how he would approach Brooks and the new challenge in front of him is an interesting one. The Spellguard is a creepy enough visual and I’m looking forward to seeing the role that they have to play in this five-issue mini-series.
