bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
I just got my hands on the incredible, yet short-lived, Marvel comic Namor: The First Mutant Issue #1. The second I heard of Namor, who is half Atlantean and half mutant, I HAD to give his comic a read – especially when I learned they threw vampires into the story as well. “Spinning out of …
Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer has always been forward-thinking with its storylines and the wide variety of characters found in both the show and the comic series (which picked up where the show left off). It’s one of the many reasons the show, and now the comics, have had such a diverse fanbase. Buffy …
I am a hardcore Buffy the Vampire Slayer fangirl who feasts on every bit of Buffy-goodness I can get – the show (obviously), books, and comics – like Tales of the Slayers. As we all know, Buffy is the chosen one, the one to battle vampires and other dark forces. But before her there were …
Finally catching up on my comic to-read list, I spent an entire wondrous day reading Angel: After the Fall, a 17-issue series of comics written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel creator Joss Whedon. It was a damn good day. After both of his shows ended, Buffy at Season 7 and Angel at Season …

Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is set to produce Bloodstrike, a film adaptation of his 90s comic about an elite unit of undead super soldiers. 1984 Private Defense Contractors, the company responsible for the upcoming all-female take on The Expendables, is putting this project together.

I’m on yet another comic book kick and my most recent and most favorite of reads is Issue #1 of the 2006 Blade series. In this issue we have the ass-kicking half-vampire Blade, we have Dracula and, yes, even a vampiric Spiderman – and that’s all within the first few pages! Oh Marvel, how I …
In the mood for something lighthearted and sweet, yet still fang-filled, I picked up a copy of Dear Dracula, a vampire comic for children. It was reported a few years back that this cute little comic was to be made into an animated film, however, that has yet to be seen. But in spite of …
No, I am not speaking of the actual novel by the legendary Bram Stoker, but rather, about a comic. “From the Pages of Bram Stoker’s Dracula: Harker” is a comic that came out a while back and was endorsed by an actual descendant of Stoker himself. I recently gave Issue #1 a read, and well, …
With Season 5 of True Blood premiering this Sunday (June 10) I’ve totally got Bon Temps on the brain. So to tide me over until the big day I thought I’d check out True Blood: Tainted Love Issue #1, a comic based on the hit HBO show. Let the comic reviewing commence! “Our friends in …

Thanks to that awesome vampire section on Comixology I discovered yet another fangtastic vampire comic – Blood Hunter written and illustrated by Loren Meyer. I checked out the first issue of this dark and twisted vampire comic and it’s definitely a different kind of undead tale. “In a world ruled by vampires, the life of …
Dark Horse Comics just announced the latest character to be added to its flagship anthology known as Dark Horse Presents, an oddly adorable, yet totally pathetic, little vampire known as the Sabertooth Vampire, a creation of Mike Russell. From the official press release: The Sabertooth Vampire is a webcomic about a tiny vampire hampered by …
A few months back I excitedly reported that Anne Rice’s influential vampire novel, Interview with the Vampire, is being adapted into a graphic novel. What made this news so fantastic is that while the graphic novel will tell the story we fans know and love, it’s going to be told from Claudia’s point of view …

Thanks to the awesome Comic app on the Kindle Fire I am discovering SO many fangtastic comics that I never even knew existed – like a whole series of BloodRayne comics! Yay! Now, I did know there were a few BloodRayne comics released years ago after the video games, but I had no idea there …
As some may know, I am a hardcore Buffy the Vampire Slayer fangirl, and of the many wonderful characters on both Buffy and Angel, Drusilla is one of my absolute favorites.

Ever since I heard about DC’s massive 52-comic reboot I was uber geeked, especially since one of the many comics they were bringing back was the vamptastic classic I, Vampire. The first issue of the new I, Vampire was released months and months ago but due to a serious lack of comic shops in my …
Stories about the undead grow in number every day. Most remain forgettable. Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing’s four part Raptors graphic novel turns out to be anything but. A few words about the artwork. Something about it feels European, and indeed such proves to be the case. What I read was an English translation, but the …
