This is a very professional looking horror comic and in different
times would have been enjoying far greater distribution across North
America and beyond. However this team are more than capable of creating
their own success. They combine the latest craze for Goth rock with
those time honoured strands of ancient fear to lay before their
readership a tenebrous account, which cleverly spans the generations
thanks to the guile held in Baron Misuraca’s storytelling. David G.
Williams pencils and inks fuse perfectly with Jarreau Wimberley’s grey
tones to embellish this premiere with an ambience devised to unsettle.
One of the vampire breed, this time heralding from the 14th century,
once again stalks the streets of our world, trying to satiate his blood
lust yet plagued by the symbols of religion and an undying desire for
redemption. The dread prospect of eternal damnation claws at his
shoulders, but there are even more questions asked of those who wrap
themselves away in religion, excusing their own loathsome calling.
- Peter Normanton
