A powerful, predatory corporation acquires a valuable asset - Dracula! They think they own him, but no one can own the Son of the Dragon. There's a monster in their midst that puts Hannibal Lecter to shame — and he plans to gain his freedom in blood. It’s bloodsuckers vs. bloodsucker as Eisner Award-winner Kurt Busiek, brings an incredibly modern spin to the Dracula mythos. Joining Busiek is award-winning author Daryl Gregory and rising star artist Scott Godlewski.
Volume 2
They bought him, revived him, but their final mistake was thinking they could own him! Now Dracula has escaped, free to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world. Caught in a terrifying few between his bloodthirsty uncle and Dracula himself, Evan must find a way to stem the tide of brutality he helped resurrect!
Find out what happens when Dracula breaks loose! The compelling saga from Eisner Award-winner Kurt Bursiek, and award-winning author Daryl Gregory continues! With art by Scott Godlewski and Damain Couceiro.
Volume 3
The two most powerful bloodsuckers on Earth face off as Dracula pits his undead forces against Conrad's newly created vampire army! But all hell breaks loose when Evan enters a dangerous alliance with Marta and her team of ruthless vampire hunters. Will their daring counterstrike be enough to stop Dracula and his insidious creations once and for all? Or will everyone suffere at the hands of history's most nefarious monster?
It's bloodsucker vs bloodsucker, as Kurt Bursiek brings and incredibly modern spin to the Dracula mythos. Joining Busiek is award-winning author Daryl Gregory and rising start artists Scott Godlewski and Damain Couceiro.
I actually expected to find the premise kind of ridiculous. Corporate America ressurects Dracula to make hostile takeovers even more hostile. But oddly, I started enjoying it. I even liked the portrayal of Dracula. Sure he's evil, but he's the kind of honourable devil where if he gives his word he'll keep it kind of thing, compared to Conrad, the head of a larger corporation who will do whatever it takes to make money and gain power. He tricks and lies to Dracula, big mistake, and now the two bad alpha vamps are building their own empires to try to take each other down.
There's some fun backstory too and throw in some quirky vampire hunters from Roumania whose family has been hunting Dracula's spawn for generations and it made for a surprisingly fun tale.
And then there's Evan, cousin to Conrad, dragged into all of this without knowing what's up (though I think I'd object if my boss wanted to me learn magics that could consume my soul and damn me to Hell...) and finds himself in the middle of the mess and a useful tool for all three sides.
