In “Follow the Path,” I spotlight changes made to comic book characters that are based on outside media, as well as characters who entirely came from outside media. Today, we look at how the Blade movies “forced” the comic books to have Blade become a “Daywalker” in the comics, as well. A particularly interesting phenomenon in the world of comic books and film is when a character translates perfectly to films, while not quite so well to comic books. Now, don’t get me wrong, Blade the Vampire Hunter is an AWESOME comic book character. He has been amazing since he debuted, over 50 years ago. However, I think it is fair to say that however good he is as a comic book character, he works that much better as a movie character. Part of is the simple fact that what looks amazing for a human to do in a film looks pretty standard in a comic book. It is presumably why Batman works so well in both comics AND films, as his awesomeness in the comics can be duplicated pretty darn well in the movies, as well.Blade was introduced in Tomb of Dracula #10 (by Marv Wolfman, Gene Colan and Jack Abel)…
