Universal Monsters: Dracula #1

"The central driving concept of what I wanted to do here is we have this black-and-white world of Edwardian London, and then we bring in this figure of Dracula who brings color into this world; the horror phantasmagoria of Dracula and the spell he casts on the world around him. It's the way that he's both man and beast and all of these things at once, and the way that he twists the minds of the people around him. That hypnotic, psychedelic power was the central driving thing in talking to Martin [Simmonds] about developing the art style of the series. I wanted to express that more than anything." -- James Tynion IV

50 years of Ghost Rider, so Marvel publishes a bumper issue, celebrating all the Ghost Riders over the years.
Except Alejandra. No-one seems to care for Alejandra.
Johnny Blaze gets some ink. I am surely confident that this change will stick with the character, yessir.

Stoker’s Dracula #1

Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one that spans thirty years. It started in 1974 and was serialized in Marvel’s black and white horror magazines. These magazines were eventually cancelled leaving the story unfinished. Decades later in 2004 Thomas and Giordano were approached by Marvel to complete their work.

I had a half-baked idea for a sequel to one of my favourite events, Acts of Vengeance. I had the idea to feature heroes that might not have featured in the original event, whether they hadn't been created yet or if the situations in their own titles meant they couldn't take part. Like how the X-Books came up with situations to exclude the likes of the X-Men (scattered thanks to the Siege Perilous), X-Factor (off in space) or the New Mutants (in Asgard).
There wasn't much of a story behind my thinking. It is just a bunch of heroes fighting villains that I thought it would be cool to see fight.
