Episode 8: Blade (Eric Brooks) / Jamal Afari

Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. This time we have a story featuring Blade! His mentor Jamal Afari taught him the foundations of vampire hunting, but when Jamal is turned into a vamp himself, Blade is forced to kill the man. But years later, Afari returns...brought back to unlife by...Dracula?! The comics: Marvel Preview #3, and Blade vol. 4 #10 - #12.
