Marvel Comics is on a tear with Red Band editions starting with their summer event Blood Hunt, then with Wolverine: Revenge, and today Blade gets added to that group. Written by Bryan Edward Hill with art by C.F. Villa, the new five-issue series launches on October 9th. The comic will have a parental advisory and come polybagged. Hill has been writing the main Blade series at Marvel since last summer, so it’s great to see him return right in time for Halloween.
