Blade: Red Band #1 came out last week and takes place after Marvel's Blood Hunt event. He makes a new sword on Lupui Island in Southeast Asia when Damien in his astral form delivers a message from Spellguard. A helicopter arrives to take Blade to meet Damien in person. The Spellguard wants Blade to find Pontious Van Helsing, who is in charge of a hidden sect of vampires that are experimenting with magic. Damien wants him to kill a man horribly disfigured by them. Blade refuses to kill the man and track down Van Helsing so he kills Damien and his two fellow mystics. He then puts the deformed man out of his misery before using a mystical knife that will point to Van Helsing's location on a map. Not a bad way to start a new series.

Countdown to Halloween 2014 Day 28: Ultimate Spider-Man vs Dracula Book and Stickers
Ultimate Spider-Man vs Dracula is based on the second season episode of Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon titled "The Howling Commandos". The book is 8" x 8" and includes twenty pages. Two pages of stickers are also included. I'm only posting a few pages from the book to give you an idea of what's inside. I bought my copy earlier this month on a road trip to the nearest Hastings for $5.99.
As you can tell by the cover, this Dracula has white hair and is not the version from Tomb of Dracula:
Page three starts the story plus features a picture of Spider-Man and Nova (other characters that make appearances include Blade, White Tiger, Power Man and Iron Fist):
The Howling Commandos are supernatural agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and steal the show when they are called upon by Spidey (they include Werewolf By Night, The Living Mummy and The Monster of Frankenstein):
Man-Thing also makes an appearance:
Here's the back cover of the Ultimate Spider-Man vs Dracula book:
The book also comes with two pages of stickers. The first page is found in the front of the book. There are stickers of Spider-Man, Dracula, Man-Thing, The Living Mummy, The Monster of Frankenstein, bats and even spider-pumpkins:
The second page of stickers include Spider-Man, Dracula, the Howling Commandos, Man-Thing, Werewolf By Night, The Living Mummy, The Monster of Frankenstein, more bats and even more spider-pumpkins:
This is a fun little book to read and is appropriate for younger readers. Now I just have to watch the cartoon episode that it is based upon.
