I'd love to see a modern Blacula movie. That would be dope. As far as the comic goes, I hope Rodney Barnes still has the rights to the character. Another graphic novel would be good. It was cool seeing him pop up in Killadelphia but, he definitely needs another stand alone graphic novel.

THE DARKNESS GREETED HER (2026) Book Review - HorrorBuzz “Hurt people hurt people” is one of those truisms we’ve all heard at some point. But, is that all there is to it? Is there any further nuance or alternative results for those who experience trauma? Do...

On the flip side, one our strengths as black people is our empathy. And having limited representation in media for so long, (among other things), shaped us in a way where, even though we may not see ourselves physically in a character, we can still identify with their humanity.
