Loved the midnight sons in the 90’s. Morbius and the Nightstalkers were so underrated and underutilized.

[@JakeTheComicBookDude]

I own an issue of Nightstalkers, issue #7 featuring, Blade, Hannibal King, and Ghost Rider.

[@kratoscraken5614]

10:52 Meat Market! And Blade, Nomad, Morbius and The Ghost Rider were once a team! Love 80's and 90's comics 💪👍💪

[@AgentNevets]

I really like Hannibal King…and was a huge fan of the entire Midnight Sons line.

[@lennyalcina4340]

How did we from this, great character, development and story to the version of Blade Trinity? Thanks Jesse, excellent job brother

[@JLSComics]

lol good question!

[@novatlas1945]

That movie was complete sh*t.

[@JakeTheComicBookDude]

@@novatlas1945 Ryan Reynolds did a great job playing Hannibal King in that awful 3rd installment.

[@kratoscraken5614]

Hannibal King.....that's a strong name 💪👍💪

[@joeevans1687]

Very nice! I stopped collecting after vampires were wiped out when Dracula's Darkhold storyline crossed over into Thor and the Avengers. Marvel teased Dracula VS ...so many times on cover art in my youth. Looking forward to Morbius. I had all the Tomb of Dracula'a, Werewolf by Night, and most anything with the Wendigo or Marvel Monsters back then. Hannibal King was always a great support!

[@izzy2802]

Damn this version of King is pretty. Makes me annoyed how bad they messed up his character in the movie blade 3.

[@hasbrosbeforehoes]

Another great video

[@JLSComics]

Thanks Steve!

[@cowpuddles4851]

Great choice! I’ve been looking for a Nightstalkers three pack of King, Blade, and Drake for years, but it’ll never happen. Please consider Jack Monroe next.

[@zaberfang]

Dracula looks like Mel Brooks

[@michaelmetler6315]

Well that sucks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy Halloween! Baron Frankenstein recently entered a body building competition, There wad a terrible misunderstanding.

[@boutbetter]

Excellent...

[@trexadvent4726]

Do you think we will see him in the blade movie in the MCU? What do you think is the best thing about him and which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@Dre0924]

He was in Blade Trilogy

[@louislogie2654]

Holy crap. I have the issue where the vampires attacked avengers mansion. I thought hanibal king sounded familiar

[@aldakendall4921]

Ryan reynolds commercial before this video

I have Nightstalkers #1

[@kevincosnerfacebook8348]

I do like BLADE and HANNIBAL KING!

[@cjalxndr]

Would make sense if he appeared in the MCU Blade movie or it’s sequels

[@Dre0924]

He did.

[@nazishhussain2712]

I have never heard of this guy

[@thepoeticbutcher3370]

[@nazishhussain2712]

I know he was played by ryan Reynolds

[@thepoeticbutcher3370]

@@nazishhussain2712 ….then you would have heard of this guy.

[@SoniaLopez-ue7ir]

Legit ;)

[@jackofallclaws6672]

Awesome! Also, just in case you didn’t get to see it last time Mr JLS, January 10th is National Voodoo Day; so if you ever want to do Brother Voodoo or characters like him…maybe that bit of information will help?

[@JLSComics]

I do want to do him soon so that is a great idea to time it with that day, thanks Jack!

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@lexlewis550]

Wow that’s was a awesome story thank you brother 😎🥶

[@Optimusj1975]

I first saw King at the Children of the Night comic (Doctor Strange #59). Ballsy ilustrator (Dan Green). Skipped partial nudity under everyone's noses.

[@briandaleske5139]

I wonder if this character (HANNIBAL KING) might ever be introduced into the M.C.U. someday?

[@Dre0924]

He was the smartass in Blade Trilogy. (2004)

[@thepoeticbutcher3370]

…..looka Frank Drake

[@draggoon9121]

Daamzz and we got that corney version in the movie ...smh

[@dragonweyr44]

As bad as the movie was received, I liked Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity

[@kahnsta420]

Dracula always reminds me of Hilary lolz
