It’s still not official, but Dread Central has the scoop on the probable demise of the Blade television series. I watched the pilot episode, but like many the series didn’t manage to keep my interest. Unlike many, I had no problem with the lead and thought he did a wonderful job filling in for Snipes. It just seemed as if they were covering the same ground as the movies with a streetwise vampire hunter taking down the aristocratic vampire elite, and I’m pretty much finished with that Anne Rice nonsense, especially since that kind of storyline didn’t seem as if it would be taking advantage of the wonderful locale. Oh, well.

In more positive Daywalker news, comic artist Howard Chaykin has been busy illustrating the new adventures of Blade over at Marvel Comics, and he talks shop over at Newsarama. It’s too bad Marvel isn’t getting any more of my money, or I would probably pick this up.
