How the Shade and la Sangre first met:

I love it when the narration is quite obviously incongruous with the events portrayed.

Another fascinating issue (I love when they throw in completely lunatic ideas for no reason than COMICS!!! Though the Vampirates books beat them to the notion of course)), and I do like the relationship between La Sangre and The Shade, weird though it is.

[silverzeo]

Wait, in vampire myth (according to Ghostbusters): They can't cross running water... so how can they be pirates?

[pyrotwilight]

Ah. But the boat is, they are simply on the boat! I figure that despite their other worldy abilities they simply cannot cross water themselves without some form of help.

[bestiasono]

My understanding is that they instantly sink into the water and cannot swim out. As such, they're fine if they stay on a boat, or a plane over the water, or whatever.

[icon_uk]

Easy, they didn't read those myths.

[cainofdreaming]

Vampires have their own specific rules about boat travel which supersede that one, they can only board or disembark during the ebb or flow of the tide. Once they are on board they're fine unless they drop into the drink and there happens to be a current.

I love Pulido's work in Daredevil, but I don't think it really fits the tone of this comic or story.

[espanolbot]

Wait, aren't those piratey styles on Swift and co. from about a hundred or so years before he was born? 1700s as opposed to around the mid-1800s?

[biod]

Well, those vampires might have been around a while, and YOU tell them they're out of fashion.

[thanekos]

Way to drink Sangre de La Vierge straight from the cask, vampire pirate.

[halloweenjack]

La Sangre reminds me a lot of U-Go-Girl from X-Statix.

[janegray]

I wonder if the baby died... She was still crying after the pirate bit her.

[icon_uk]

You mean you haven't guessed who the baby is? ;)

[janegray]

I take it she isn't just some random baby?

I haven't been following this series, so I had no idea this was meant to be more than a "pet the dog" moment.

[icon_uk]

We've never met La Sangre before this issue, but remember; what her name means, the fact she's a lot older than she appears and that she and the Shade share a past.

[arbre_rieur]

And notice her hair color. :)
