How many times the charm? This time, it's off the back with a charge from Kirk "Sticky" Jones hitting the Blade mantle. Bringing it back to form with vampires counting their nights before facing the Daywalker.

The star of three blockbuster movies and a hit television series is finally getting what he deserves - his very own ongoing comic series. Blade #1 sees the return of the Blade to his own comic and he’s taking on all comers, whether it be supervillain or supernatural.

Guest-starring Spider-Man, Blade #1 firmly plants the vampire hunter in the Marvel Universe as he has to help cure an undead Wall-Crawler who’s been turned into a vampire himself.

And if that wasn't enough, the Lord of the Undead, Dracula, makes an appearance. But what’s scarier than the most fearsome vampire in history? How about Blade having to face down an entire classroom of bloodsucking fourth graders? And all of this is just in the first issue!

The Blade team of Howard Chaykin (New Avengers, American Flagg) and Marc Guggenheim (Wolverine, CSI: Miami) along with breakout cover artist sensation Marko Djurdjevic are set to bring you the most action-packed comic on the stands each month. Get onboard for a suspenseful, edge-of-your seat monster mash of a comic set right in the heart of the Marvel Universe.


Tearing up the streets in search of the Brimstone Society, Rayne returns in Bloodrayne: Plague Of Dreams. A tale in three from Digital Webbing, with Troy Wall, Mark A. Robinson and Dustin Yee collecting donor samples from the line.

If vampires are not enough, then Avatar Press have Escape Of The Living Dead: Airborne. Nasty dead moving flesh as told by John Russo and Dheeraj Verma.

Zenescope Comics look at the lead up to Gwyneth Paltrow playing jill-in-the-box with Se7en: Gluttony. Raven Gregory and Tommy Castillo are first on the scene with a seven part tale that reads and leads into the Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt film with Kevin Spacey.

Patton Oswalt and Mike Ploog are just two to take a mug with Dwight T. Albatross' The Goon Noir from Dark Horse Comics. First in three of shorts with film and television stars ganging up to give their accounts.

Jesse Leon McCann, Min S. Ku and Jeff Albrecht hold on with a leash yanking Krypto The Super Dog for six issues from DC Comics. Who likes cats any way?

Remember the old Wetworks from way back? No? Yes? Doesn't matter. Mike Carey. Whilce Portacio and Trevor Scott go hunting on a recruitment drive to bring a new (sort of) team in Wetworks: Worldstorm from Wildstorm Comics.

Talking old school, Jeff Parker and Roger Cruz start an eight part lesson with the original members in X-Men: First Class.

Also from Marvel, but flying elsewhere, Union Jack in a four turn turn. Christos Gage and Mike Perkins run with the man in the flag as he tries to thwart a couple of terrorist attacks on London. Obviously.
