Reviewer Notes
Blade is grasping at every straw he can as the “Mother Of Evil” story continues to limp along with no end in sight. I really had high hopes for this series, but eight issues in and there is still no resolution. Just how powerful is the Adana anyways? Where are all the Hell Lords? Shouldn’t they all be teaming up stomp this nobody back to the stone age river?
The only thing interesting about this entire issue was the alternative cover celebrating the 1997 release of Blade series. Other than that, there isn’t much here to get excited about. Two people teaming up in hell, an army it does not make. I’m giving issue eight of Blade three out of five stars.
