The New Champions have just stumbled across the next vampiric hero to grace the pages of Marvel Comics.A preview for New Champions #7 (by Steve Foxe, Ruairí Coleman, Elisabetta D’Amico, Adriano Di Benedetto, Arthur Hesli, and VC’s Travis Lanham) from Marvel Comics finds the eponymous team of teenage superheroes on their way to check in on Moon Squire’s online acquaintance, Marshall. Although the situation between the two of them is more than a little complicated, leading Moon Squire to question Marshall’s claims regarding his heritage, everything the latter said proves to be at least a little bit true as soon as they cross paths. As it turns out, Marshall, or Nightdrifter, really is the great-grandson of none other than the legendary Jamal Afari.Despite being such a prominent figure in Blade’s life and, by extension, the darker corners of the Marvel Universe as a whole, Jamal only made a handful of appearances in the pages of Marvel Comics since his debut. The fact that he died in his first appearance certainly hasn’t helped Jamal establish a greater presence, yet even after that, there haven’t been many titles to explore his time spent raising Eric as his own. If nothing else, the pair did get a chance to reconcile when Jamal was temporarily resurrected during Marc Guggenheim and Howard Chaykin’s 2007 run on Blade.
