Prelude to the movie is not bad, but not great
This special starring Blade was released by Marvel to coincide with the 1998 release of the movie "Blade". Storywise, it does an adequate job fitting into the world established in the film, providing some decent teases for (what was at the time of publication) the upcoming movie.
The plot and writing by Marc Anderyko was fine, and the dialogue worked. The world of the movie Blade was introduced nicely with some decent vampire killing scenes. And we start to get and idea of the social structure of the bloodsuckers.
The art, however, left me cold. At that stage in his career, Bart Sears seemed to hide the inadequacies of his pencils (anatomical errors, poorly drawn faces and expressions, for instance) with unnecessary over-rendering (an all-too-common occurrence among comic artists of the 90s). And worse, scenes that supposedly took place in 1926 Chicago depicted glass-and-steel skyscrapers that did not come into vogue until 30 years later. There were other inaccuracies I won't go into.
If you enjoyed the "Blade" movies, you could like this book; but if you skip it, you really won't miss much.
