Synopsis for "Crescent City Blues"

Deacon Frost teams up with Marie Laveau to take over mafia crime in New Orleans as a staging area for greater conquests. As Dracula lives, but is not currently acting as Lord of Vampires, Deacon captures Blade, Hannibal King, and Brother Voodoo to establish his rep among the undead in a power grab. The heroes free themselves from the trap and Blade battles Deacon Frost to a stalemate. Deacon escapes, and Blade vows to hunt him down.
