Short Review: You can't kill a bad vampire comic, it seems.
Jesus. You pick up the second of two parts of a terrible Vampire story, only to find out that it's being transformed into an ongoing monthly from the same company. Well, I say monthly; If it's anything like this, it's an advertisement for the company (whose main business is mail-order), couched in a package which ensures it finds its way directly to those without particular discrimination. Here's a hint: if there's no editors, it's a Trojan horse. Anyway, the art is blatant babery, the plot is traditional open-ended bad powered guys (i.e vampires) hunt good powered guys (again, i.e. vampires) , and the dialogue is both hideously expository and strewn with spelling errors a four-year-old wouldn't make. It does have the most gratuitous incidental oral sex scene I've seen in a long time, and there's some irony in someone claiming to be "embarressed" by some of their competition, but nothing is enough to save this comic. Unless you're a FantaCo exec, of course.
