The art seems to bright and basic (compared to, say, the cover) for a horror-themed comic, and that final page could have done without the speech bubbles. I myself would have kept the top panel, and gone very close on Dracula's eyes in the final panel. One eyebrow up, the other down. Pinpricks of blood in the centre of his pupils.

Does anyone think that the date boxes ("Wednesday, 11 AM") are a little bit too 1990s?

Busiek, you say?

Vlad there getting all huffy over the degenerate state of the world strikes me as more humorous than horrifying. Reminds me a little of the Joker telling Great White that he's the worst man he's ever met. Still, I want a look at this, at least.

Vlad would probably be wondering why the West hasn't wiped out the Middle-East by now. Vlad Tepes had no love for Muslims.

Hmm, not a fan of the art, I liked it in the earlier scans posted but here it does nothing for me.

As for Dracula's look, personally I would have gone for having him be completely pale white. Long hair which almost covers his forehead giving the hint of a connected every brow and almost covers his eyes, I would have given him a full beard which is unkempt as befits someone who can't see himself in the mirror. Going back to the eyes, I would just highlight the glowing pupils to give a more inhuman look to the Count.

Art is rather meh.

As for the basic premise and Dracula's personality. Fuck yes! This is what we need more of. Things like this, Hellsing and Dresden Files. Less brooding anti-heroes or Heaven forbid severely outdated romantic arctypes and more complete monsters.
