Blade's co-creator, writer Marv Wolfman, is returning to the fan-favorite Daywalker for a new story as part of the What If…? Dark series of one-shots. And in the storꩵy, he's takiꦑng Blade from vampire killer to full-on vampire himself.

What If...? Dark follows the formula of the classic What If…? ಞconcept of showing alt-versions of Marvel heroes and villains, but, as the titl🍨e implies, with tragic, violent, and sometimes horrific twists.

"Horrific" is, of course, where Blade comes in. Created by Wolfman and artist Gene Colan in 1972's Tomb of Dracula #10, Blaﷺde is a half-vampire whose mother was bitten while she was pregnant. As a result, Blade has most of a vampire's strengths, with few of their weaknesses - notably, he's able to walk in daylight without harm.

In What If…? Dark: Tomb of Dracula, Wolfman and artists David Cutler and Scott Hanna will show what would have happened if Blade was fully turned by Dracula, turning the classic 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Horror hero into a full-on bloodsucker himself.

"In 1972 I was a fledgling comics writer who mostly wrote short 2 to 8 page 'monster' stories when Editor Roy Thomas asked if I’d like t༒o write Tomb of Dracula, my very first series for Marvel, and the book that would jump-start my care🏅er," Wolfman recalls in the announcement.

"So it is a real thrill now that 50-plus years later Marvel asked me to once again dive into that pool with this very special What If…? story, andꦯ to bring back that great cast of characters that artist Gene Colan and I created so many years ago. Thank you, Marvel, for giving me the chance to play with old friends one last time," he concludes.
