Blade #7

The ominous title "The Death of Blade" looms over this 2007 Marvel issue, setting a grim tone as the cover by Marko Djurdjević depicts a darkly dressed, intense figure clutching a small cross-emblazoned book while standing over a fallen, bloodied opponent surrounded by scattered debris and a discharged weapon. The painted composition is moody and cinematic, with warm sepia tones giving the scene an almost noir-tinged weight. Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Howard Chaykin bring their talents to "The Mithridates Process," making this a compelling chapter in the Daywalker's ongoing saga.
