In March, Blade Officially Joins the Avengers as Dracula Dies… Again?

Published Tue, 18 Dec 2018 15:00:34 -0600

It looks like the Avengers are getting a new member in March. Following his surprise appearance in Avengers #700, it looks like Blade will be officially joining the team in March's Avengers #16, from Jason Aaron and David Marquez. First Conan, now Blade? Is there anyone left in the Marvel Universe who isn't an Avenger anymore?

But that's not all. Also in March, Avengers #17 appears to tease the death of Dracula, with someone else taking over as lord of the damned. Who will it be? Whatever the case, Marvel promises that "the world of the Marvel U vampires will be changed forever," a promise we always take 100% seriously and never consider blatant and overused hyperbole.
