Bloodline: Daughter of Blade comes to a thrilling close in issue #5, and the future of the character looks brighter than ever. Read Full Review
The series draws to a close. Its been fun. Lore and company have done a good job of telling an interesting story. It makes a pretty good case for further adventures with Brielle. Brielle DOES come across as the type of character who could carry her own ongoing series. She hasnt quite been dropped into the heart of the bewildering mess that is the totality of the Marvel Universe, so there are a lot of different directions she could be taken in if the right creative team decided to sponsor her.

Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #5 sinks its claws into your heart and doesn't let go until the final page. Fueled by devotion to family and responsibility for others, readers depart enamored by Brielle and thirsting for more pint-sized dhampir adventures. Read Full Review
Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #5 ends as well as it could for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer knockoff with awkward character work, truly awful dialog, and YA-grade art that doesn't fit the characters or situation. The plot threads are wrapped up neatly with a happy ending, but the quality of this mini-series never managed to achieve minimum Marvel standards. Read Full Review
So I am sad to see this mini series come to an end. It was a good well told story with great art. I also hope they continue Bri story at some point either an ongoing or another miniseries. Let’s face it guys we need more Blade in our life.

This was a fun, Buffy-esque miniseries. If you liked that show, especially its earlier years, you will find something to like in this.
The storytelling is certainly improvable. Both the words and the art could hit harder and be more precise.
But one thing is already clear enough: This is a promising character, and the creators are passionately committed to showing readers why. Brielle's evolved over the course of the series, gaining insight into her own character and building meaningful relationships.
The plot has been a useful engine for driving those relationships forward, and it wraps up here in a pretty satisfying way.
This miniseries is far from perfect. But it's got enough fire to justify its existence--and maybe even another look at Brielle in the future.
