Sheriff Blade and Boss Dracula work together in Marvel's Vampire Nation
Marvel Comic🗹s brings back 🦩Blade to play spy games for Dracula in Vampire Nation

Blade vs. Dracula sounds like a fight made in heaven (or maybe hell…) especially since Blade fir꧅st appeared in the '70s Tomb ཧof Dracula title.
But in Marvel's Blade: Vampire Nation one-shot from writer Mark Russell and artist Dave Wachter, on sale in November, Blade will work for Dracula to root out a secret assassination plot in t🍰he literal Vampir♎e nation of which he is 'Sheriff'.
🌳The world's most famous vampire calls on Sheriff Blade after a member of the fledgling V⭕ampire Nation's government is assassinated and Eric must uncover a plot that could destroy the country in its infancy.
Blade is the so-call🔥ed 'Sheriff' of Dracula's Vampire Nation, where it is eternally night. The Marvel Universe's vampire population was rꦉelegated to their own country in a treaty with the Avengers when Dracula tried to conquer the rest of the world.
Blade remained in the Vampire Nation, vowing꧅ t꧂o police its population - including Dracula himself.
Here's 🤡a first look at pages from the one-shot:&nbs♏p;




Blade:꧋ Vampire Nation goes on s⛄ale November 16 with a cover from Valerio Giangiordano, seen above.
