you beat me to it, everyone ready for another 200 pages of hating each other???
THey're definitely going to fight though, maybe not extended but think about it.
last time they saw each other blade attacked him, now he's trespassing on Utopia with the intention to kill all xmen turned vampire, this could get crazy. August is going to be my favorite month this year.
Premiere of Blade in Ultimate Avengers as well as X-men, fighting wolverine no less. 😄

Originally posted by snoopdoggmaybe they suspect it's dracula, but it's actually one of his children, i'm also quite upset varnae isn't appearing, would've made a great story for the namor on-going.
Ok, so Dracula is leading the army that invaded San Fran. Doesn't the Death of Dracula series start at the same time? WTF?

Originally posted by srankmissingninyea, i guess the colorist of the blade series was sub-par, but i definitely think Paco is the better artist should definitely be a good issue.
Chaykin needs an amazing colourist or his work is flat and boring. He can be simply amazing. The Wolverine - Nick Fury one shot he did from the 80s is sunning. 🙁

X-Men #2 cover.Rematch? Maybe, the solicits don't say anything about a fight, but at the very least the cover is awesome.
Try to leave the microscope alone this time.

Wait they're allowing Chaykin to draw a Blade comic? 😘 Flat and boring is an understatement.
Originally posted by Deadlineyea, i've seen some issues where it was decent, but blade wasn't one of them. his one-shot and appearance in x-men should be drawn great, unbelievable pumped. It's surprising the push the MI:13 characters are getting.
I know but the artwork is so terrible I can't bring myself to read it....its awful.
