Blade #3

Marko Djurdjević's cover for this 2007 Marvel series captures Blade mid-stride — battle-worn, bloodied, and radiating quiet menace in his long coat, a bouquet of red roses trailing from one hand against a striking crimson-washed cityscape backdrop. The tagline "It Takes One to Kill One" frames the Daywalker perfectly, and a pull quote from Kirk "Sticky" Jones of TV's Blade adds a fun cross-media touch. With Marc Guggenheim writing and Howard Chaykin on art, issue #3's story "The Accused" promises to keep this vampire hunter's world as stylish as it is dangerous.
