Vampire Kings of corporate America (The jokes write themselves.)

[arbre_rieur]

Throughout DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS (by Kurt Busiek, Daryl Gregory, and Scott Godlewski), there have been three power players. There's Conrad Barrington, CEO-turned-vampire who wants to usurp Dracula as king of vampires; there's Dracula himself, who's staging a takeover of Conrad's company in retaliation; and there's Marta Stefanescu and her family, the greatest vampire hunters in all of Romania (which, according to the series, is like being the greatest sumo in all of Japan.)

Our protagonist, Evan Barrington-Cabot, has been pulled in three directions throughout the series, each side wanting him for its own. He's remained indecisive, unsure of where to stand all this time. That is, until the latest issue, where events finally push him to make his choice. Or does he?

Am I allowed to feel special up here?

A recommendation and a slightly (but only slightly) OT eulogy

I picked up a graphic novel recently, not a new one as it turns out, but new to me, and it's gorgeous in a way that I don't normally warm to.

Greetings True Believers!

Here's another fun thing I picked up at C2E2. Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #1. It's a cool retailer variant I got, they did a fun launch gimmick. They sent special variant covers to supporting comic stores that showed the Big G stomping on their store.

Here are a few fun pages. Enjoy!
