Blade II is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Blade #1–10 (1994), then compare it with Nightstalkers #1 and Tomb of Dracula #45–53. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
