[...] BLADE #2 (Marvel) Okay, I’m done with BLADE. I really wish I wasn’t; Blade is one of the coolest characters in the Marvel universe, but like what they’re doing with Ghost Rider, Marvel just seems intent on destroying any coolness these guys might have by constantly giving the characters nothing to do, and worse, be hampered by worthlessly unimaginative plots that almost seem like a premeditated attempt by the publishers to make you hate the book.

More people would by more comics because they’d have more money to spend on new things – comics wouldn’t last just a few issues if they were affordable enough for people to get hooked on them. When you spend $2.99 on a issue that sucks – BLADE, I’m looking in your direction – you’re not too likely to want to blow that dough on another one. But for $1.25 an issue, I’d be willing to subscribe and be happy about it. I’d even write a letter to the letters page. Your thoughts? [...]
