Blade the Vampire Hunter - Supernatural Tv

Blade is a character that, in principle, does not come to mind as representative of the universe Marvel. However, decades of history prove otherwise, both inside and outside the pages of the comic..

Now that it enters the collection marvelREDit is well worth examining the reasons: ‘Blade’ is an example of the publisher’s courage to pursue diversity goals in its characters and their stories. He is one of the first prominent heroes of color on the brand and a pioneer of the representation of the African-American community in comics.

While many Marvel heroes obtain their powers through scientific means or as a result of accidents, ‘Blade’ is a supernatural being, born with the ability to sense the presence of vampires, with whom he in fact shares many characteristics, and to hunt them down. . It is also a door to supernatural and horror elements.

His first appearance dates back to 1973, in the story ‘The Tomb of Dracula No. 10’, which makes up the first part of this volume. In that play ‘Blade’ he was a secondary character, but he ended up getting the favor of the audience and leading his own numbers. This is how the second part of the book visits him in the arc that Marc Guggenheim and Howard Chaykin led in 2006.

Unfortunately, neither the first nor the second part of the book are essential works, neither in drawing nor in writing. But at least they offer a glimpse of a notable character who has interacted with a wide range of characters within the Marvel Universe and who, in fact, is recognized as the first to be adapted to the cinema, with the 1998 film.

And now that a new adaptation is imminent, the opportunity to look back on its long history and enduring popularity is welcome.which only serve to further highlight his importance within the franchise.
