She fills him in on her own investigation. Now it could be the overly hostile army of Twi-hards looking to exact a little Cullen justice, but since Tweens aren't usually that cruel Blade looks into it. Someone or something is killing all the vampire killers and that doesn't sit well with Blade. The initial conflict is structured like a murder mystery of sorts, except with more blood and more monsters. This comic brings Blade into the fold through some more subtle means, taking place before the events of X-men #1 and setting the stage for his arrival. Does it measure up though? Don't rush me! I gotta throw in an appropriate amount of bullshit to make these reviews work. Then X-men Curse of the Mutants: Blade comes out and fills in the blanks the way the Storm and Gambit issue did.

However, they weren't the only ones to get a comic that shows their role in this event.įor the past few years the vampire killing Blade have been about as prominent as Kathy Griffin's acting career. Storm and Gambit fans should be very happy about what they got from it. Not only does this fit into the events of the main comics at large, it gave a couple characters who had been relegated to wiping the asses of bigger name characters some time to shine. The book was surprisingly good, filling in some details and doing a damn good job of it for the ongoing mutants vs. Previously, I had more free time on my hand than usual and found myself checking out X-men Curse of the Mutants: Storm and Gambit only to find out that it was awesome and thus giving my wallet more reasons to hate me.
