Blade: Red Band #5

Marvel's Red Band line pulls no punches, and this 2025 issue of Blade makes that unmistakably clear. David Yardin's cover depicts a pale, fanged vampire looming over a restrained Blade, using a metal dental tool to pry at the Daywalker's mouth amid hanging chains — a viscerally unsettling image that earns the explicit-content label. It's a striking, tension-loaded composition that promises the series isn't shying away from the darker corners of vampire horror.
