Blade #10

Casagrande delivers some beautifully detailed art filled with great action. The story is filled with tension and Casagrande delivers on that tension visually. Read Full Review

A grand enough finale for a more thoughtful Daywalker. Read Full Review

Blade #10 delivers a fine climactic battle sequence, though, as it incorporates all of its characters in a quick-paced brawl, which Casagrande executes with plenty of panache. It's unclear what any of this was about, but the fights were certainly thrilling to read. Read Full Review

Blade #10 ends the Adana, the arc, and Bryan Hill's tenure on the series with the most generic, underwhelming finale possible. Casagrande's art is solid, and in fairness, the ending is complete, but the ending only works if you accept the uber-strong threat of the Adana has suddenly become a basic demon that can be struck down with a sword.

This run was cinematic and it had its moments, but ultimately Bryan Hill's minimalist writing style hurt more than it helped.

A really quick issue and I don't think it worked as well here as I would have liked. It felt like certain moments should have gone on for longer, such as the scene with Draven and Rotha. I felt like I didn't have enough time to really digest that. I just wish this had a little more substance to it, especially with it being the final issue before Hill does the Midnight Sons tie-in series for Blood Hunt. I wonder if that's the new Blade series referenced in the back of the book, or if Marvel is doing another Blade series once said Midnight Sons book is wrapped up.

Blade defeats the ultimate evil using a strat borrowed from (checks notes) Naruto. This run ends the way that it started: bafflingly limp in characterization and thin in narrative. The art was pretty good.

This run got progressively worse as it went on. It started out well and then slid down to this rather disappointing and non-climatic ending. How stupid this villain is to wear the one weapon that could slay her on her back. Come on. We saw this ending coming from a mile away. Everything was just so convenient. It's just bad.

Well I know this book was cancelled but wow does it scream 'cancelled'. This was clearly the real end of the first arc with Adana defeated and now Blade has to fix all the world wide effects she has put into motion. My guess is Marvel will ignore that the entire world is filled with evil and just go right into blood hunt (not everyone is vampires). This will be a plot point that is never resolved. I figured Hill would fix this in another 10 issue and get the grand conclusion or something along those lines. Instead... we get this. Also speaking of Adana... wow was she weak and quickly defeated for a literal element of evil. Like she was a concept. How do you kill the concept of evil so easily? At least her body. This should have been some epic mind melting fight with serious in universe effects. Instead this will likely leave nothing. This series of what it should have been to what it became due to Marvel is honestly in part why I think I am going to stop reading most main universe marvel books. Maybe keep 2 or 3 at most and just see if the ultimate universe can keep itself together better. The main universe is a disaster. more
