Over the length of this self-contained issue, Daniel Kibblesmith offers an entertaining and safe story. While it may seem that the hunter is doing what he does best, it becomes evident that he's not the hero he used to be. While surviving humans search for a potential cure, it is in this world that Blade hunts like a boogeyman stalking the streets.

With no gods, technology, or hope left, the world is split into predator and prey.

While those turned during daylight burned, other former superhumans found themselves depowered. Written by Daniel Kibblesmith and with artwork by Federico Sabbatini, Darkhold: Blade #1 presents a nightmare scenario, where the hero becomes the hunter in a world where vampires rule.įollowing the unleashing of the blood god, La Magra, the 'V-wave' turned billions of humans and superhumans into vampires. To fight the ancient and evil god Chthon, Blade has to read from the pages of the titular book to have a chance. This fact becomes more apparent in the recent Darkhold event. While the half-vampire helps humanity defeat vampires, it's always important to remember that at the end of the day, he's still an apex predator. Throughout comic history, Blade toes the line between his heroic and monstrous urges more so than most anti-heroes.
