    Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 is a fun debut with some youthful energy and story decisions that makes it stand out. Instead of going the familiar route, it changes things up keeping readers on their toes. Blade and the Vampire Nation have been getting more of a focus lately and here's to hoping this series continues the solid storytelling they've been delivering so far. Read Full Review

    Geek'd Out - Nico Sprezzatura

    Feb 01, 2023

    A big asset working in Bloodline #1's favor is that it doesn't require an encyclopedic knowledge of Blade to be understood; she knows slightly less about her origins than the reader does, and we're both discovering the extent of her nature in real time with one another. I'm not especially familiar with Blade stories myself, but I know his whole deal as a general character; that's more than enough. Read Full Review

    Blades daughter comes to the fore with some intriguing concepts, but not enough to really stand out in a big way just yet. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke

    Feb 01, 2023

    Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 introduces a compelling situation for Bloodline as a vampire hunter and as a person whose still figuring out her half-vampire nature. A slower-paced issue, to be sure. There are a lot of elements that could spell intriguing drama surrounding vampire hunters and Blade being an absentee father. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - kcscribbles

    Feb 01, 2023

    Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 is a slightly above average kickoff to the series. Brielle Brooks just seems to perfect to be interesting, but when the supernatural creatures and vampires appear, those scenes have the feel of an old Universal Horror film. Hopefully next issue will expand on the two good cliffhangers at the end of the book. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez

    Feb 02, 2023

    Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 is wholly uninspired, cheap, amateurish, and worst of all, boring. If you've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Blade's daughter for a new generation of adventures, you will be sorely disappointed. Read Full Review

    Quiet enjoyed the start of this. Made me realize how much I miss classic Buffy and Brielle so far is a worthy companion.

    This isn't amazing or anything, but it does sort of evoke that early Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibe. Before they really found their footing, and soaked their episodes in the type of drama that would pull in any teenage girl's heart (and my own, as well). Which isn't an un-fun vibe at all. I like that about it.

    Maybe someday somebody will write a terrific Bloodline story, and rose-colored hindsight will brighten up this modest early effort.

    Imagine the worst vampire/action anime from the early'90. Now imagine that someone at Marvel went thrift shopping and found that forgotten anime script, added some "dialogue" some colours.. and here we go.

    Garbage. Art is laughably bad and the story is just unimaginative.
