Bloodline is perhaps better known by this community simply as "The Daughter of Blade."

Initially supposed to debut as the titular character in Blade #1 (Vol. 6) all the way back in 2015, the book was cancelled before release (despite being completed) after the lead writer Tim Seeley suddenly quit the book stating that he felt uncomfortable being a middle aged white man, writing stories revolving around a black teenage girl.

The character sat on the shelf for 7 years until finally debuting on Free Comicbook Day in 2022 during Avengers/X-Men #1.

She was then given her own limited series called "Bloodline: Daughter of Blade" in 2023, and then became a regular on the Avengers Academy series, before teaming up with her father Blade for the 2024 limited series "Blood Hunt" written by Moon Knight writer Jed MacKay.

Currently she is slated to be appearing in the upcoming X-Men series. In total she has 72 total appearances within Marvel Comicbooks despite only debuting in 2022. So, it does seem as if Marvel will be continuing their promotional push behind trying to get this character accepted into the zeitgeist of comicbook fans...

...yet, despite this...from my observations, this community does not seem to like her very much.

Topics pertaining to her are often filled with vitriol, that periodically devolves into nasty arguments. Topics criticizing her existence, or marvel’s promotional push behind the character actually tends to bring this community together -- it bonds over its shared hatred.

However, when someone comes here to try to hold legitimate comicbook discourse regarding the character, or the books/stories that she appears in...the community tends to troll, and dogpile upon the Bloodline fans. There has never really been a case of this community actually supporting a "Pro-Bloodline" topic.

As such, I'm allowing the community to vote. Do you want to allow Bloodline Fans (and yes they do exist) to co-opt this community as a hub for the character? Or would you rather we remove said topics, and redirect the topic creator to r/marvelcomics instead?

Let your voice be known. We are listening.
