(More customer reviews)In the 1970s, Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan turned "Tomb of Dracula" into one of the most important comics of the decade, helping to usher in a new wave of horror comics.
With this series, they've hit another home run.
Wolfman gets Dracula right, and where many writers struggle to make him an interesting character without sacrificing the most essential characteristics, Wolfman succeeds with ease. The character, as written by him, is a personification of everything one should expect from Dracula. The supporting cast is great as well, with a team of vampire hunters you care about, and an army of vampires that truly horrifies.
The plot is an interesting one, and a logical one. Dracula, in his persuit of power, is manipulating a politician in the race for the Oval Office, stepping on anyone that gets in his way of conquest. This is exactly what I would expect from Dracula in a modern setting, and it's all the more relevant today with the heated political debate that permeates the media today.
Gene Colan's art is a sight to behold. His visuals are spookier now than they ever were before, feeling raw and energetic. There's always something interesting to look at, and I truly wish that other artists knew how to make gothic horror look as good he makes it look.
I'm a huge Dracula fan, and a huge vampire fan, and if you are too, then I highly recommend you pick this up. It's a shame that it's so criminally underrated. I can only hope these two will team up on a new Dracula book some day.
