The comic would have focused on the Daywalker and his daughter, who was going to follow in her dad's footsteps, and not be too happy about it. The comic went away after many online pointed out how odd it was for two white guys to do a comic about two black people. Seeley said that he felt like he had messed up because of the success of Black Panther. I felt like a black woman might write this stuff better than me, but that never happened because of Blade.
This weekend brings us all of that. A promo image of a young woman named Brielle looking at a case of weapons from Blade that he gave to his on/off girlfriend, presumably Brielle's mother. She is set to make her official debut in a story by writer Danny Lore and artist Karen S. Darboe.
The character of Blade has had his comics presence slowly boosted up ahead of his upcoming movie starring Mahershala Ali. If Brielle does make her way to the big screen, fans will have an idea if the movie brings in the idea of Blade having a kid. Black people killing vampire is pretty cool.
Bloodline will make her debut in the May 7th issue of Free Comic Book Day.
