la mejor historia la tercera y el mejor dibujo la primera la segunda meh

Out of the three stories the second one “Traffic” was my favourite. The artwork by Devmalya Pravmanik was sick which combined with the bold red was stunning. I also enjoyed the writing.

The premise of the last story was pretty cool as well but I don’t understand why the guy killed his friend.

It was alright, the art was really nice though. I didn’t expect it to be structured the way it was, with three separate stories in one issue. I feel like it might’ve worked better if each issue focused on a single story instead of cramming three into one.

Very nearly a 5-star book. I didn't understand Blade's "soft spot for kids" in Wilson's tale Traffic. Sure, Tanya looked (and likely sounded) like a kid, but

a) Blade's smarter than to trust a vampire, and

b) she admitted "(she's) ninety-nine-and-a-half years old. I'm not afraid of anything."

Anyway, after Condon's closing story The Price of Iron, you'll never see the Iron Man helmet in the same way.

So cool

Really good stories. I was not expecting it to be good, but the stories were actually creepy. Well done. This was good and worth the price. The art was beautiful as well. Especially the 2nd Blade story. Art was gorgeous.

“and the trail ended where it always does… at someone’s throat.”

i surprisingly really enjoyed this! i haven’t read any blade yet but i thought this was great. the art styles and storytelling was compelling for all of these also

Black, White and Blood and Guts issue one was the first time I had read this genre. The stories were far too short for me but I did enjoy the second Blade story. Loved the artwork though. I probably will not buy the rest in the series as I prefer longer stories.

“Kept loaded with the oldest tech of all- a foot of hard hickory carved and sharpened to a knife. To a blade.”

a little more blade a little less iron man thank you ❤️

I've never really read or watched any of the Blade stuff, but I think I've been missing out. I do wish the stories were a little longer though
