This is the fourth ongoing Blade series. It was designed to be a series of interconnected single issue stories. The series lasted for 12 issues, making it a short series, but the longest Blade solo series to date.
Hoping to play in on the huge success of the first Blade movie, Marvel launched a new Blade ongoing series. Unfortunately, the series failed to catch on and was cancelled after 6 issues (and one 1/2 Wizard issue).
