Blade #10

Two figures locked in mid-air combat dominate Marko Djurdjević's striking cover for this 2007 Marvel series — Blade unleashing firepower from above while a red-spiked, goggle-wearing figure clashes with him below, the tagline "It Takes One to Kill One" setting a tense, predatory mood. The sidebar text teases "Enter: Your Friendly Neighborhood Blade," a wonderfully wry story hook that hints at some unexpected crossover territory in Marc Guggenheim's script, brought to life interiorly by Howard Chaykin and colorist Edgar Delgado. Issue #10 of this sharp-edged series looks to deliver exactly the kinetic, high-stakes action the cover promises.
